Kids World – Sonja Schubert-Zaulig
A small mini-loop for your first funfair rides
Operator: Sonja Schubert-Zaulig (Weilheim)
Kids World by Sonja Schubert-Zaulig is a travelling children's ride made by the French manufacturer Lutz. The ride is a mini-loop, offering a child-friendly circular route on a compact, gently undulating track. Rather than featuring great heights or inversions, Kids World focuses on movement along a small track. The ride is aimed at the youngest fairground visitors and complements the larger attractions on the fairground with a family-friendly option of its own.

Highlights & records
Mini-loop with a gently undulating circular track; built by Lutz (France), according to Ride-Index.
Kids World combines a gently undulating circular ride with the manageable size of a children's ride. The mini-loop belongs to the Schubert-Zaulig showground operation.
Kids World by Lutz: the design
Kids World, operated by Schubert-Zaulig, was built by Lutz in France. The Ride-Index specialist database lists it as a mini-loop. It requires a relatively narrow setup area, so it can also be used at fairgrounds where there is limited space alongside stalls and larger rides.
A mini-loop should not be confused with a mini coaster or children's roller coaster. Here, the ride follows the movement of a classic circular ride. Its appeal comes from the slight changes in track height. Unlike a roller coaster, this type has neither a high lift hill nor a long descent. This also distinguishes Kids World from the ground-level carousel of the same name operated by other showmen: this profile specifically describes the Lutz mini-loop operated by Schubert-Zaulig.

Kids World: the little loop ride
On a mini-loop, the vehicles follow a set course. Unlike bumper cars, children do not have to steer for themselves. The track features gentle changes in height and curves. This makes the ride feel livelier than a simple, flat circular ride. At the same time, the design is much smaller than the large roller coasters aimed mainly at older riders.
At Kids World, you can easily watch the vehicles from outside as they go round. This allows families with young children to follow the ride together. The short distances between the passing cars and the edge of the ride create the close-up experience for which classic children's rides at town fairs and funfairs are so popular.

Background and showground operation
Sonja Schubert-Zaulig is named as the showwoman operating Kids World. An official list of attractions at the Gallusmarkt in Kirchheim unter Teck includes Kids World under this operation. The attraction is listed separately there, alongside another children's carousel. So these are not simply two names for the same carousel.
In the ride database, the attraction appears under the operator name Zaulig from Weilheim. At the same time, the historical overview lists Schubert from Karlsruhe as a previous owner. This makes Kids World a specific travelling ride with a documented history. The combination of its current showman listing and the manufacturer's details makes the ride easy to identify, even as it visits different fairgrounds.

Who is Kids World for?
Kids World is for children who want a ride that is easy to follow. They can experience the regular curves and gentle undulations of a circular ride. For accompanying adults, it is reassuring that they can follow the course around the compact track. Whether a child can ride alone or with an adult depends on the safety rules displayed at the ride.
