Rides and Attractions for All Ages

New Reoma World is an amusement park for people of all ages. The following are rides and events that everyone can enjoy.

** Please note there are height restrictions for some of the rides.

1. Ferris Wheel - A Great View of Seto Inland Sea

Visitors must first try the Ferris Wheel.

It is approximately 50 meters in diameter, and the ride takes about 10 minutes. The Seto Inland Sea can be viewed during the ride, making the Ferris Wheel is a special seat to view the shining sea in daytime, and the illuminations at night.

There are two "open-air" gondolas in the Ferris Wheel. Visitors can directly feel the air and the sunshine, and enjoy the view of Seto Inland Sea as well.

2. A Cutting-Edge VR Experience

There are some rides employing the virtual reality (VR) technology, such as an adventure game of riding spaceships and dodging meteorites, or a shooting game staged in a city from the near future. These rides are for those who want to experience something out of the ordinary.

3. An Elegant European-style Pleasure Cruise

If you feel that VR rides may be too stressful, try the pleasure cruise. Board the ship, and watch the Greek-style architecture on the banks, or its reflection on the canal. The passengers will be able to relax, feeling the faint breeze.

4. From Architecture to Projection Mapping

A projection mapping show at Legend Palace, an event to enjoy a fantastic light performance.

At Reoma New World, be sure to take a close look at the park design. In the Oriental Trip section, there is an elaborate re-creation of the Cambodian Angkor Empire architecture, along with cultural exhibits from Bhutan.

At night, there will be a projection mapping performance at Legend Palace, creating a 360-degrees, three-dimensional world.

Mt. Iino, which is also known as Sanuki Fuji, can also be viewed from the Oriental Trip section.

Special Seasonal Events

New Reoma World hosts various events every season.
