milst1 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 ^^^ My review on Foursquare (which I can't link to, for some reason) was "Only USD$29/night! You get what you pay for. Mildew smells, no hot water, and airport announcements are audible through the walls all night. Random shit smells through the night too." and the TripAdvisor review can be found here.

milst1 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Cheryl won't let me do any additional trip reports until I finish this one, so here's our last day in Indonesia, all spent at four different mall parks. We went to Moiland, Puriland, Fun World, and Timezone. I apologize that a lot of these pics came out kinda dark. In any case, Enjoy! First stop was Moiland at the Mall of Indonesia. This was a pretty nice mall and a nice little mall park. Mexican Coaster credit! There's another treat in this mall... Is that? YES Satisfaction achieved. This mall also had a kiosk selling tiny ice cream cones. They gave me a hard time about taking pictures, for some reason. So here's my response. I hope someone steals your concept. We saw a few of these things around. You'll not find Kenny Rogers Roasters in the USA. The drives between the malls were typically Indonesian, that is, interminable, give or take 4 or 5 hours for traffic. We found some shopping spots that reminded us of a certain TPR trip-goer. Puriland was another park in the Purah Indah mall. This park had Harvey Comics themeing. You don't see much of that. Richie Rich? I used to read so many Richie Rich comics as a kid. Eventually I graduated to Archie. Interesting. Ghoster Coaster had a Casper theme. The Harvey Comics IP is now owned by Dreamworks. Then a security guard told me to stop taking pictures. I just don't understand why public places try to stop photography by non-professionals. Maybe their use of the IP is no longer licensed? Maybe I should write to Dreamworks to ask if the use is authorized... Ghoster Coaster is the credit. Next was Fun World, an FEC chain. We actually saw the first park that day, Moiland, co-branded as Fun World. African Thunder Coaster This was fun. Credit. And whimsical jungle themeing. Is it theming or themeing? Time Zone is another chain of FECs. I think they have it in Philippines too. Roller Coaster! This seemed pretty big for an indoor. It was another nice little park. Cool flat. Sorry I missed getting a photo during the cycle. Hope you enjoyed this epic week in Indonesia. Bottom Line: Very interesting country, nice people, decent food, but few bright spots in the amusement area. We're not hurrying back, but it's definitely doable for the serious credit whore. Happy coastering, TPR readers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technfxrick Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 This was a great trip, and i agree with all your points. Everyone was super helpful, and most parks were clean. The traffic was abysmal, and their was some frustrating moments with park opening times. Cant wait for next years trip with slightly more mainstream parks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
