In the north of Jakarta lies Taman Impian Jaya Ancol, a multi-hectare leisure complex with an amusement park that, while not quite its equal, is often referred to as the Disneyland of Indonesia. It is in fact the largest theme park of its kind in South East Asia and has everything from stomach churning cork screws to the more sedate big wheel, from which you can get more spectacular views of the city. If the weather is clear, you will see tropical islands dotted across the horizon.
