Fantasy Land
Dunia Fantasi or 'Fantasy World' / 'Fantasy Land' is a fun and
theme park designed to entertain the visitors into the fascinating
worlds of modern science and technology. A recent addition to
Jakarta's growing recreation facilities is the Fantasy Land, a
9.5 hectares (23.75 acres) entertainment park located inside the
Ancol Dreamland. Planned to eventually become a part of a 200-hectares
(500-acres) park designed to usher the visitors into the fascinating
world of modern science and technology, the present facility takes
them on an imaginative tour of Old Jakarta, Africa, America, Indonesia,
Europe, Asia and the Palace of Dolls. Each of the areas is designed
to give the visitor a feel of the region he is visiting through
features and architecture of the area at a certain period of its
history and by the use of animated puppets in the Palace of Dolls.
This colossal recreational resort faces the enchanting Jakarta
Bay. Its prime attraction is Fantasyland, an amusement park that
keeps children, especially, entertained the entire day. Fantasy
world is the host of many of the amusement rides and the most
popular of them is a roller coaster ride called Halilinter. The
park has other themes also. Art buffs and tourists who search
of souvenirs should visit Pasar Seni art and handicraft market.
Others might like to check out Sea World (a giant aquarium) for
an educational tour on marine life or Ancol Water Park for yet
more fun. The Ancol Marina operates as the gateway to the neighboring
Thousand Islands. The facilities take visitors on imagination
tours of Africa, America and Indonesia through some breath taking
games. The park also offers a number of restaurants and souvenir
shops.
