Fun City – Lachat
An interactive game with 3D effects, lights and music
Operator: Carrousels-Lachat / Linda Lachat (Versoix, Switzerland)
Fun City by Carrousels-Lachat is a mobile funhouse that plays with 3D glasses, lights, music and surprising effects. Here, you don’t get into a vehicle; you walk through an imaginatively designed world of experiences yourself. This makes Fun City a very different kind of attraction from the fast rides at a fairground.

Highlights & records
Walk-through course with 3D glasses, light and sound effects. The operator states 32 A / 380 V power supply and a weight of 19 tonnes.
Fun City turns a walk-through into a visual adventure – instead of speed, 3D glasses and effects provide the surprises.
How Fun City works
At the heart of the experience is a walk-through course. The operators describe it as a path full of optical illusions, where you should watch your every step. Special 3D glasses enhance the illusions and change how you perceive your surroundings. Changing lights and music accompany you along the way. The appeal lies in the combination of walking in real life and visual effects: your feet stay on the ground, but the design can create a very different impression.
The attraction is more compact than many multi-storey funhouses. Even so, it makes use of its indoor spaces to turn a short walk into an experience in its own right. Rather than offering speed or great height, the attraction focuses on surprises, finding your way around and playful disorientation. This makes Fun City especially interesting if you want to try something that challenges you in a different way between two intense rides.

Who is the visit suitable for?
The Lachat showman family explicitly promotes Fun City as a family attraction. You can therefore plan to visit it together with friends or family. If you enjoy exploring walk-through attractions, you’ll especially appreciate the combination of 3D effects and sound effects. Unlike on a roller coaster, your own movement also affects how you experience the different sections.
The concept is particularly appealing to visitors who are open to optical illusions. It is less about a single spectacular movement than about a succession of different impressions. The themed design and the glasses are therefore part of the experience, not just decoration.
