Dufan Is Fun

Dunia Fantasi, Ancol Jakarta

(Jakarta, Indonesia Series 4)
 

On our second day in Ancol, we visited

Dunia Fantasi or (Dufan),  which is Jakarta’s

counterpart to the iconic Disneyland.

We were greeted at the entrance gate with

 various Dufan characters who gamely

posed with the kids for some photos.

The fun began on their beautiful Asian themed

 Grand Carousel that kids enjoyed.

We then went around the park and watched

 the Paddle Pop Animatronic Show,

...that later led us to the American Zone which was

 designed like an the old American West   

...and had attractions like 
the Tilting House,

...the and Mirror Maze.

The zone also had 
the Bonanza Restaurant,

...which offered yummy snacks
of  French Fries,

...and the very delicious 
Iced Mixed Fruits.

We also ha a lot of fun on the next zone that

offered  kiddie rides like Poci Poci which was

 very similar for Disney’s  Mad Hatter Tea Cups.

The Istana Boneka  was beautiful boat ride and an
 imitation Disney's signature It's Small World ride .

We were able to ride a kiddie rollercoaster,

the wet ,  wild and very exciting  white water

rafting  adventure ride called Arung Geram,

 

...very similar to Shipwereck Island

 in Sea World San Diego, 


^^^Shipwreck Island Sea World San Diego

...and Disney’s Grizzly River Run

in California Adventure Park.


^^^Disney's Grizzly River Run, Anaheim

While we enjoyed the more benign rides,

The kids decided just to enjoy watching

the people screaming at the top of their

voices on  the more extreme rides .

Dufan had a lot of western themed

4D rides like Happy Feet,

…a Space Adventure Ride that I failed to take a photo,
and there some exciting rides the would
 soon open like the  Ice Age, the Ride.

The kids had been to several Disneyland Parks

in the past, like Euro Disney in Paris, France,

… the brand new Hong Kong  Disneyland,

…and a number of times in the original

Anaheim Disneyland in California,

DuFun is a beautiful theme park,

not as massive as Disneyland,

…and as what Lonely Planet said that some of its

rides cloned from the popular theme park may

raise the eyebrows of Disney’s Imagineering Team,

…but for me and my family Dunia Fantasi

or Dufan, call it a copycat or what,

just like Disneyland, it was just as fun.

No one, and nothing can stop 
the fun in Dufan.
