With the season of spring fast approaching, many dream of the warm and sunny summers that are mere months away. Accompanying the dreams of summer are the addictively attractive prospects of picnics, barbeques, beachside getaways and of course, amusement parks. This summer season enjoy the seventeen stunning roller coasters at Cedar Point, re-live your childhood at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, simmer down at the Schlitterbahn Water Park or experience the magical world of Harry Potter and butter beer at Universal’s Island of Adventure. While many of these wonderful options are found in the United States of America, the fun and adventure to be had at amusement parks transcend national borders and are scattered across the world. Therefore, travellers and tourists staying at a hotel apartment in Jakarta such as the luxurious and stylish Somerset Berlian Jakarta can also partake in the excitement such parks have to offer by visiting Ancol Dreamland.
Established and opened to the public in 1966, Ancol Dreamland lives up to the idea of a dream come true with an extensive theme park, accommodation facilities as well as a golf course. The Dreamland is perfect for small children who will thoroughly enjoy ‘Dufan’ i.e. the Fantasy World which comprises of eight regions and boasts of thirty attractions. Among these are the Niagara Flume Ride, a Ferris wheel, a Swinging Ship as well as a Theatre. However, older visitors can also enjoy themselves and rides such as Perang Bintang which is an interactive ride modelled on Star Wars.
Ancol Dreamland also boasts of a water park known as Atlantis Water Adventure, SeaWorld and dolphin shows at Ocean Dream Samudra. While the Park is accessible via public transport, many opt for the unique experience the Gondola offers for it is a cable car system that provides an amazing view of the Park. This Indonesian wonderland is meant to be enjoyed by children and adults alike and is an experience that scarcely be regretted.
