Dunia Fantasi, commonly referred to as Dufan, is the largest outdoor theme park in Indonesia, situated within the Ancol Dreamland integrated tourism complex. The park is divided into several thematic zones, including regional representations like Indonesia, Jakarta, Asia, and Europe, alongside fantasy-themed areas. It features high-adrenaline attractions such as the Halilintar roller coaster, the Hysteria drop tower, and the Kora-Kora swinging ship. Water-based rides include the Niagra-Gara log flume and Arung Jeram, a whitewater rafting simulation. The park is built on reclaimed land along the northern coast of Jakarta, offering a direct view of the Java Sea. It serves as a central component of the Ancol Bay City development. The facility utilizes a single-admission entry system that grants access to most internal attractions.
