Holiday Ayo - A number of tourist destinations in Indonesia that were once very popular and excellent have now lost their charm.

The tourist frenzy that used to always be busy on weekends is now only a memory of the past. Indeed, there are a number of factors that caused this to happen, including the Covid-19 pandemic that hit the world in 2020, causing the amusement park business to decline until it finally closed permanently.

The following are a number of tourist attractions that were once busy and popular, but are now as quiet as graves:

1. Kampung Gajah Wonderland

The Kampung Gajah Wonderland tourist attraction located in West Bandung Regency has been closed since 2017 due to bankruptcy.

The area was left abandoned. As a result, this unique amusement park that was a hit in its time now looks unkempt and haunted.

This is no doubt used by horror-loving tourists to hunt for photo spots there. This 60 hectare family tourism area used to be lined with elephant statues on the side of the road as icons. This place also offers rides and a water recreation park.

2. Snowbay Water Park

This water park destination located in the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah area was forced to stop operating after the Covid-19 pandemic broke out and TMII was officially taken over by the government.

When it was still operating, Snowbay Water Park was very busy with people visiting because it had complete play facilities. Among them, the two most famous rides are the Hurricane slide and Cool Running.

3. Depok Fantasi Waterpark

Depok Fantasi Waterpark or also known as Aladin Waterpark reportedly had to close after being hit by the impact of the pandemic.

This pioneering water recreation park in the city of Depok, West Java has even been razed to the ground because it will be converted into a housing complex.

In fact, before it was closed, Aladin Waterpark, which was founded in 2008, was always busy with visitors, especially small children.

With a Middle Eastern feel, this large water park has a variety of rides ranging from high water slides, fountains, spilling buckets, and others.
