Surabaya began to develop in terms of tourism. It can be seen from several new tourist objects that are starting to appear. This will certainly attract tourists to Surabaya, so that Surabaya can become a tourist destination in East Java besides Malang, Batu, and Banyuwangi. One of the new attractions there is Atlantis Land Kenpark Surabaya, which just opened at the end of 2017.
History of Atlantis Land Kenpark
As we all know that Surabaya has one of the well-known tourist beaches, namely Kenjeran Beach Tourism. This beach does have great potential for tourism since the first. But over time this beach began to be abandoned by tourists. This is further strengthened by the negative image of this coastal area, starting from the dirty place, dark streets, and the presence of illegal buildings.
Therefore, the Surabaya city government began to think about planning a revitalization or renovation in the area. After various attempts to find investors from private parties, this beach was finally restored and named Pantai Kenjeran Baru or Pantai Ria Kenjeran.
However, after the opening of Ria Kenjeran Beach, it is still not optimal in achieving its initial goal. So that improvements will continue to be made, and Kenjeran Park or abbreviated as Kenpark was born. Improvements and additional facilities continue to be carried out in the Kenpark area. And finally, the plan to build a theme park around Kenjeran was realized. So now people will know Atlantis Land Kenpark Surabaya as one of the main tourist attractions in Kenjeran Park.
The uniqueness of Atlantis Land Kenpark
One thing that is the attraction of this New Tour in Surabaya is its area which reaches 150 hectares. This makes Atlantis Land one of the largest theme parks in Indonesia, even in Asia. The construction of various rides there was handled by architects from Australia. The initial concept was inspired by Universal Studios, so Atlantis Land will not be inferior to a number of other world-famous theme parks, such as Disneyland, Legoland, or Magic Kingdom.
As with theme parks in general, of course there are various types of interesting rides to try at Atlantis Land Kenpark Surabaya. The rides there are complete and also suitable for children. Some are suitable for children such as Ice Kingdom, Mystery Land, or Kids Playground. Meanwhile, rides that can stimulate visitors’ adrenaline include Viking, Blizzard, Swing Drop, or Dark Coaster. The number of rides there are approximately 30 types and of course visitors can enjoy them to release stress.
In addition to game rides, there are also interesting educational rides for visitors. There is also an entertainment stage facility with an attractive Dancing Water Fountain. However, the development of these vehicles is carried out in stages. So, the possibility of this vehicle is not yet complete. However, you can already enter there because this attraction was opened to the public on December 23, 2017. The advantage of coming there now is the ticket price, which will definitely be cheaper than the ticket price at a later date when the construction process is complete.
