Terracotta Army Dark Ride | Indiana Jones Type Ride at Fantawild Theme Park

Qin Dynasty Adventure is a thrilling Terracotta Warriors dark ride. It's an Indiana Jones Adventure type ride like at Disneyland.
One part of the ride almost looks similar to one of the scenes in The Mummy ride at Universal Studios Hollywood. If you spot it, let us know in the comment below.
Ride filmed June 2024 at Fantawild Dreamland Theme Park in ZhuZhou China.

[@ameliabrown3987]

This is interesting to me because the sets look great, but the animatronics look like something you'd find in a haunted house at a carnival

[@The_AGL_Group]

@@zydration3538 It's not just the theme, it's the ride system and show scenes. While it's true that Indy doesn't "own" ancient temples, it's willfully lying to pretend that the ride isn't heavily cribbing from the specific Indiana Jones (and to a lesser degree The Mummy) theme park rides. Compare them directly from videos.

That's an impressive facility, too bad it's all screens and carnival spook house dummies instead of animatronics. A little bit of articulation with the archer's arms midway through.

[@BeingBoringx2]

My thoughts exactly! For such expense to be put into an attraction, why the carnival ride style props and dummies?

[@Revox67]

What in Temu did I just watch??

[@brandontrue813]

SO GLAD you are fimling at Fantawild now! There are a LOT of Chinese dark rides I wish had hihg-quality POVs on youtube... excited for more to come!

[@michaelwise9857]

These rides have so much room, and use it poorly. Reminds me of the dark rides in Dubai, where the show scenes are cavernous...like huge warehouses, but they lack good storytelling. They move slowly, you can see scenes up ahead. No surprise. Just tons of money thrown around with no good payoff.

[@RexRude99]

The treasure room is very much like The Mummy.

[@stinkyginger3018]

I like the concept but the ride is not without its flaws. Here’s what would’ve done differently: 1. Add music to help set the mood 2. Made the environment a little darker so that the jump scares would be more hidden 3. Shorten the length of the ride, it felt like it just went on and on 4. Add some sort of special effect to give the illusion of the terra-cotta warriors coming to life 5. Increase the speed of the vehicle by a small amount to more of a thrill But that’s just my opinion.

[@saltbab]

I agree with all of this

[@remconet]

It's actually darker. They always film these videos way too brightly. So that's why you see so much ceiling and the screens are so bright.

[@huapianp]

In Fantawild theme park in Xiamen (opened in 2013), there was music on this ride. The ride showed in this video is located in Fantawild theme park in Zhuzhou(opened in 2016), they deleted the music in this updated version. Probably because the music they used were from 'Pirates of the Caribbean‘ series, and due to the copyright issue, they abolished the music track.

[@rickspears3525]

This makes me wish for a Big Trouble in Little China dark ride!

[@JustToast963]

That could be so much fun.

[@derekp308]

Too bad the theme parks don’t have areas themed to 80’s cult movies. “Krull”, “Blade Runner”, “Time Bandits”, “Ladyhawk”, “Swamp Thing”, “Highlander”, “Real Genius”, “Brazil”, “The Adventures of Buckaroo Bansai”, “Three O’Clock High”, “Adventures in Babysitting”, “Trancers”, “The Beyond”, “Airplane”, “Spaceballs”, “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure”, and of course, “The Evil Dead”.

[@happiestplace3754]

The size and scale were pretty impressive for a knock-off attraction. Why was it kind of legit scary with the static statues and slow-moving vehicle. 😮

[@huapianp]

Actually there were multiple versions of this ride in different parks, and in Fantawild theme park in Xiamen (opened in 2013), there was music on this ride.

[@funnyunkle]

how much was that ride. it seem longer than most. the effects would hav been better if it was slightly darker i think. some of he jump scares were lost because it was so bright on parts.

[@garcia207]

It probably looked bright because the filming was done with a low light camera. That type of filming makes it look brighter than it actually is.

[@HenshinHead]

tfw you build and Indiana Jones ride but theme it to The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

[@geoffreyboy1]

Well if you wanted a mummy tomb of the dragon emperor this would easily convert

[@gridiron_coasters]

That looks pretty solid, but the lack of music feels a bit odd

[@kanealoha]

That was an interesting ride. Parts of it were very cool - I love the way it looked. I think I was expecting it to go faster at times, more like how the very end of the ride was.

[@somecripple4126]

I really don't like all the screens though. I am not a fan of screens on rides. Actual physical sets would be so much better. I think that King Kong ride at Universal is about the lamest ride I've ever seen.

[@kanealoha]

@@somecripple4126 I can totally understand your point about the screens. They felt overused - it changes the ride experience.

[@somecripple4126]

@@kanealoha it absolutely does. It just makes it feel fake to me. Granted, I have only seen it through a computer screen. Being quadriplegic, I'm not able to ride the vast majority of rides and watching them on KZbin is the only way I can experience them.

[@Mike__B]

When you don't have anywhere near the budget of Disney...and it shows. Projections galore all over the place, and I may be wrong, but it didn't look like the ride vehicle was moving at all like it does at Indiana Jones

[@honeysuckle754]

This felt like a 10 minute ride… that’s not a compliment

[@pookiepooh]

In terms of Indiana Jones Adventure ripoffs this one was pretty good. The ropes on the bridge actually move.

[@missprincesscarina]

Put the playback speed on 1.5 and you'll go much faster. 😂

Interesting ride... Yeah a mix of Indy and Mummy... My only complaint... some scenes are too much... Too much stuff (overcharged with things) and it feel more like a mess of too many things at once. When it's more focused, the ride is super!

[@cooperlisa69]

This ride looks cool.😊

[@Firegen1]

You know what? I don't mind they cribbed the homework. It's actually better when the culture itself gets to parody itself. Indiana Jones makes a half assed attempt to represent other mythologies. They do a mostly full assed attempt at copying Indiana Jones. 🤷🏾‍♀️ seems all fair to me. Also, if this was a tad bit faster both in track layout and animatronic reactions, I think it would be a pretty good ride all told. The Terracotta army under the bridge was great.

[@anthonyvo1963]

[@JustToast963]

Is this a total Nacho Platter on the Cheese Scale? Yes. Would I give my left pinky toe to ride it?Also yes. Did it awaken my deep-buried exhaustion and eye-twitch after having to photograph 350 two foot replicas of the army that someone donated to the thrift-shop I worked at at the time, and made me wish Qin Shi Huang had an outbreak of afterlife jock itch? Oooooh yes (but I did start picking up on the subtle differences between the soldiers that whatever company used for the molds, so that was pretty neat).

[@kellycherish1990]

The theming is excellent and was awesomely long, but I expected way more movement in the statues.😮

[@Daniella191271]

I never got to see Indy… I think I was expecting him to appear as he does in the ride at Disneyland

[@ederlima8621]

its cool

[@robotwolf]

I think the ride system exhausted their budget. The designers and engineers seem capable otherwise. It did do something the Indiana Jones ride can't. The car backed up. Twice. I've never understood why Disney didn't think they could do this. Some blocks are slower than others, typically. If you programmed a car to back up a little, why can't the controller just play it the same way as a slow block? (as long as it didn't intrude on the previous block) Of course, I'm assuming it's the control system. The vehicles might be incapable somehow. I just know Disney spent a crap-ton of money to not go backwards in that ride.

[@jjperceval]

The worst thing here is the refresh rate on that first screen. Outside of that, it seems solid

[@adam_franklin]

I've never seen such wasted potential on a scale like this. The designers were so eager to rip off Disney and Universal they forgot to think about what really sets those parks apart, pacing and story. It's a bummer to see these massive show scenes where the focus is drawn to the square projections on the wall. The best scene had those swinging pendulums and they should've had more stuff like that instead of ideas involving those terrible 2D screens. The ride was so long, they could've cut the weaker elements and put more effort into nailing what was really working.

[@RickyRicardo03]

This ride sounded cool, but wow, they really botched the speed and animatronics/screens.
