New entertainment facility at Ancol

JAKARTA (JP): Jakarta Governor Surjadi Soedirdja is scheduled
tonight to initiate the operation of Wahana Ramasinta, a new
entertainment facility located in Dunia Fantasi at the Ancol
Dreamland complex in North Jakarta.

The Rp 29-billion facility stands on 9,370 square meters of
land. The complex has a 356-meter-long canal that is 3-meters
wide, which visitors will be able to navigate in the 12 boats
available.

The new recreation facility will use bio-animatronic robots.
The movement of the human-shaped robots will be controlled by
electric-hydraulic simulation.

Hundreds of local artists and experts in lighting and fashion
will be involved in the shows.

Visitors will be able to watch Ramasinta scenes, played by
animated dolls, from the boats in the canals.

PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol, which manages the recreation
center, said that the new Ramasinta recreation area is expected
to be one of its star attractions.

Group admission prices will range between Rp 13,300 and Rp
16,500 per person while individuals will pay between Rp 20,500
and Rp 23,500.

From January to September this year more than 2,200,000 people
visited Ancol Dreamland, down from 2,960,042 visitors last year.

Surjadi will also hand out free entrance tickets to orphanages
in Jakarta and members of the Jakarta Veterans Association.

Members of the Jakarta-based Indonesian Association of
Puppeteers (Persatuan Pedalang Indonesia) will also be invited to
today's ceremony. (05)
