Trans Studio Bandung
Southeast Asia’s Premier Indoor Theme Park — 4.2 Hectares of World-Class Coasters, Spectacular Stunt Shows, Themed Zones, Family Dark Rides, and Luxury Mall Dining.
Jalan Gatot Subroto, Central Bandung City
Indonesia’s Ultimate Rain-Proof Thrill Capital
Spanning an expansive 4.2 hectares inside the Trans Studio Mall (TSM) integrated complex along Jalan Gatot Subroto, Trans Studio Bandung is one of the largest indoor theme parks in Southeast Asia. Completely sheltered and fully air-conditioned, it serves as the ultimate rainproof entertainment sanctuary, ensuring that unexpected tropical mountain downpours never disrupt your holiday excitement.
The park is divided into four elaborately themed worlds featuring more than 20 cutting-edge attractions—from the heart-pounding Yamaha Racing Coaster (accelerating 0 to 120 km/h in 3.5 seconds) and the Pemburu Badai indoor hurricane drop tower, to whimsical family boat rides like Jelajah, Broadway-style theatrical extravaganzas, and live stunt performances.
Conveniently integrated with luxury shopping at TSM and world-class hospitality at The Trans Luxury Hotel, arranging door-to-door transit with an MPV Holiday Bandung private car rental with driver ensures smooth city drop-off, secure luggage storage, and comfortable climate-controlled transfers.
Architecture & Themed Zones
1. What is Trans Studio Bandung? The 4 Themed Worlds
Opened in June 2011, the park was engineered with international safety standards to deliver cinema-grade escapism across four immersive themed zones:
The Four Signature Zones
- Studio Central (1960s Hollywood Glamour): Styled after Golden Age Hollywood and Broadway. Features iconic retro cinema marquees, the Yamaha Racing Coaster, Hollywood Walk of Fame, and live street performers.
- The Lost City (Jungle Exploration & Ruins): An adventurous jungle temple environment hosting Jelajah log flume expedition, Kong Climb rock climbing, and the Sky Pirates air cable car overlooking the park.
- Magic Corner (Mystical Fairytales & Illusions): A magical realm housing the enchanting Dunia Lain dark ride, Black Magic illusion show, Special Effects Action Stage, and Dragon Riders carousel.
- Trans City Theater (Broadway-Caliber Spectacle): A 2,000-seat state-of-the-art auditorium presenting grand circus acrobatics, musical laser shows, and Broadway-inspired theatrical productions daily.
World-Class Coasters & Thrills
2. Key Highlights & Must-Ride Attractions
From record-breaking extreme coasters to delightful family boat rides, these are the park’s most celebrated attractions:
- A. Yamaha Racing Coaster (Extreme Coaster) One of the fastest catapult coasters on the planet. Rocketing out from an indoor tunnel straight up into the open Bandung skyline, this coaster reaches 120 km/h in just 3.5 seconds before soaring up a 50-meter vertical spike and plunging backward through reverse inversions. Minimum rider height: 135 cm.
- B. Pemburu Badai (Storm Chaser Drop Tower) Step inside an indoor storm-chasing laboratory caught in a Category 5 hurricane. Riders are catapulted up into the roof structure and subjected to simulated wind shear, lightning flashes, and heart-stopping zero-gravity drops.
- C. Jelajah (Log Flume Jungle Expedition) Board wooden expedition rafts and cruise through dense prehistoric jungle ruins and dinosaur animatronics before bracing for a steep 13-meter waterfall plunge with an exhilarating splashdown.
- D. Dunia Lain (Haunted Dark Ride) Climb aboard vintage carts that glide through a chilling haunted manor showcasing West Java’s most notorious ghost folklore, interactive holographic spirits, and spine-tingling soundscapes.
- E. Si Bolang Adventure & Ocean World Science Center Delightful cultural and educational attractions for younger kids. Tour Indonesian archipelago miniatures with popular animated characters and discover marine biology exhibits inside interactive play labs.

Visitor Wellbeing & Guidelines

- Bring a Spare Shirt for the Water Ride The Jelajah log flume generates a hearty water splash. Waterproof disposable ponchos are available near the ride entrance, or keep a fresh change of clothes in your car.
- Electronic Lockers Available For extreme coasters, loose items (sunglasses, phones, cameras) must be stowed in the digital locker banks located beside the Studio Central entrance.
- 100% Weatherproof Guarantee Whenever Bandung highlands face morning thunderstorms or thick mountain fogs that close outdoor roller coasters, Trans Studio Bandung remains 100% operational in cool air conditioning.
