From indoor go-karting to rooftop roller coasters, at Trans Studio Theme Park Bali, families can have a day of adventure and exhilaration no matter the weather.
To have a destination where thrills, games, performances and curious little discoveries are found under one roof is the ultimate convenience. For those needing to entertain a brood of active, thrill-seeking youths, this movie studio-themed amusement park promises a day of family fun.
Located within Trans Studio Mall Bali, the indoor theme park sprawls generously across the entire top floors of the shopping centre; once inside, the expansive entertainment world takes over the experience, and one completely forgets they’re inside a mall.
Divided into four distinct zones – Camera Zone, Action Zone, Adventure Zone and Culture Zone – the theme park features 16 rides and three live shows, ranging from high-speed adventures to family-friendly play areas, as well as experiences rooted in Indonesian stories and culture.
Snap, Ride, Walk and Play!
As you enter the park, travel back in time to 1920s England with the Port of Liverpool. Designed as a reimagined dock reminiscent of a certain 90s box-office hit, its nostalgic setting serves as the gateway, a literal port of embarkation to the many attractions of Trans Studio Bali.
The main park area simulates an eclectic carnival atmosphere. The Can Can Revue, for example, features a giant figure and a large stage that naturally lends itself to photo-ops. The towering Puppet Master Ferris Wheel offers a slower way to see the park from above. Meanwhile, the Frank House presents the carnival-classic funhouse experience, where disorienting passageways, quirky puzzles, illusions, and surprises make for a laugh-filled walk-through. Younger visitors can play freely in a dedicated space at the Kids Playground, with a ball pit, slides and room to run around.
Explore the Archipelago
Flying Over Indonesia offers one of the park’s more immersive experiences, a flying theatre taking visitors on a virtual journey across the archipelago, from Sabang to Merauke. Sitting in suspended, moving seats, looking out at a widescreen that wraps your entire view, the cultural ride simulates the sensation of paragliding, with passengers gliding through and over Indonesia’s many landscapes. It’s a fast-paced, bird’s-eye perspective of the country’s most impressive landmarks, a journey that would otherwise take considerably more time (and several plane tickets) to experience!
It’s a reminder that there’s more to Indonesia than just Bali itself. The experience compresses the archipelago’s vastness into one indoor journey, making it an attraction worth trying for the whole family, even if rides are not necessarily your thing.
Get Competitive!
For those who prefer to get moving, one of the easiest ways to get into the park’s spirit is to head to the Formula Kart. The indoor go-kart track stretches 240 metres, with corners that demand more than just merely putting your foot down. Speed helps, but so does staying in control, especially when friends and family treat the track as an unofficial race. The go-karts are a great group activity, quickly revealing the more competitive and skilled drivers.
For something just as competitive, and more challenging, test your strength at the Ninja Course – a series of obstacles that test balance, agility and body control. It is the kind of attraction where watching someone else attempt it can be almost as entertaining as taking on the challenge yourself.
For the Thrill Seekers
Then some rides change the pace quickly, and the Boomerang Challenge Coaster is an obvious choice for those who prefer a much stronger dose of adrenaline. Trans Studio Bali’s signature rooftop roller coaster takes passengers out of the building, racing along the tracks, thrusting riders into the sky before then travelling backwards at speed. Another rooftop ride is the Forbidden Temple Rapid Adventure, a flume ride meets white-water-rafting experience, taking passengers on a river route that meanders out of the building, through man-made rapids, with many splashes along the way. The Bat Glide, meanwhile, takes you soaring across the park, offering riders a different perspective on the indoor surroundings.
Meanwhile, Road Rage Wasteland Escape takes things in a darker direction, an attraction that blends 3D visuals and a ride-along experience. Passengers journey into a post-apocalyptic dystopian realm built around multisensory effects, action-packed excitement and unexpected moments.
For the ultimate suspense-filled adventure, Zombie City of the Dead takes visitors into a zombie-themed environment, blending a haunting house walk-through with a virtual shooter. Not for the faint of heart, you’ll experience theatrical tension and many jump scares in this horror attraction.
It’s Showtime
True to the destination’s movie studio theme, Trans Studio Theme Park Bali features a host of live shows and performances, held once daily. At the Amphitheatre, the Gayatri Show tells the story of a young girl through musical theatre, combining storytelling, music, dance and elements of Balinese culture.
The action-packed Temple Raider Stunt Show brings treasure-hunting adventure to the Stunt Show Stage, complete with acrobatics, pyrotechnics, sound effects and motorbike stunts for a captive audience.
Then, as the visit winds down, the Rise of Bali Legends Parade brings characters and performers through the park in elaborate costumes, drawing on Balinese mythology and Indonesian folklore. It’s the theme park’s ode to Indonesia, as captively costumed performers make their way around the park, interacting with visitors.
Before leaving, make sure to take an iconic photograph with friends and family at the ‘upside-down house’ optical illusion – a souvenir of the wild and wacky day at this eclectic indoor theme park.
At Trans Studio Bali, you can arrive without having to plan around the weather, choose your own level of adventure and spend a few hours moving between entirely different worlds. Yes, the attractions can be kitschy and cheesy – that’s theme parks! – But visitors will be impressed with the level of production and variety of experiences found under one roof.
Open daily from 11 AM until 6 PM on weekdays and 7 PM on weekends.
