Mickys Weltreise – Micha Lorenz
The colourful children's ride with its distinctive figure-eight track
Operator: Micha Lorenz (Lorenz-Kipp)
Mickys Weltreise by Micha Lorenz is a children's 8-loop that combines the classic carousel principle with a varied circuit. Instead of a simple circular track, the route crosses the fairground in a figure-eight shape. This gives young funfair visitors a ride with changing turns and new views of the surroundings. Event programmes also refer to the attraction as “Mickeys Weltreise” or “Mickey’s Weltreise”.

Children's circular ride on a figure-eight-shaped track.
Two sweeping curves, ever-changing views: Mickys Weltreise turns a children's circular ride into a little voyage of discovery.
What a ride on Mickys Weltreise is like
The appeal of this children's ride lies in its track layout. The vehicles do not simply follow a steady circle but travel through the two loops of the figure eight. This means the view of the surroundings keeps changing. Those waiting at the edge see the young passengers pass by at different points during each lap. This also makes the ride interesting for accompanying adults, who can wave to their children or take photos from a safe distance.
Unlike large roller coasters, this ride is not about extreme thrills. Instead, it offers a distinctive funfair experience for younger visitors who want to try a lively circuit. Its travel-themed design turns the ride into a little voyage of discovery. Its unusual figure-eight shape alone sets it apart from many classic children's floor carousels.

History and operator of the children's 8-loop
The children's ride is documented in connection with the showman business of Micha Lorenz, also known as Lorenz-Kipp. The trade magazine Komet had already explicitly described “Mickeys Weltreise” as a children's 8-loop by Micha Lorenz in 2023. The ride also appears under the name Mickys-Weltreise in later event listings. The name is therefore not just a generic label for any children's ride but is associated with this specific operation.
Lorenz's children's ride was listed by name again for Rheinbacher Herbstkirmes in 2026. Other fairs also include the name in their children's programmes. The ride is therefore one of the family-friendly travelling attractions that complement the range between major attractions and classic children's carousels. For many children, smaller rides like these are their first experience of a funfair ride.

Who is Mickys Weltreise suitable for?
Mickys Weltreise particularly appeals to families with children who already enjoy small rides. The clearly laid-out track can be followed easily from the sidelines. For children who enjoy repeated turns and discovering new things on every lap, it is an appealing introduction to the world of fairground rides.
The operator on site sets the exact conditions for riding, such as minimum height, whether an accompanying adult is required and the fare. So always check the information at the ride before buying a ticket. This is particularly important if a child wants to ride without an adult for the first time. If, on the other hand, you are looking for great heights, strong acceleration or inversions, you are more likely to find what you want among the larger rides.
