Touted as the largest amusement park in SE Asia, this thing may actually be happening after years of talk. The new Toll Road will likely bring hoards of tourists from Denpasar to the tranquil area of west Bali. This park will be built just 1.6 kms from my Villa in the very quiet area here. Where I live is largely Muslim with 5 mosques located within 7 kms of where I live. I love it here for the peace and quiet (no dance clubs, no bars, few tourists and few Hotels, nearest Pepitos is 1.5 hours away).
How out of place is an amusement park here?
I understand the Banjar wanting to boost tourism here and provide jobs for the locals but what is the thinking here? Bali Sun regularly reports about the importance of preserving the culture of Bali but again it's a constant fight between preserving the culture and greed for money. What's the point bringing tourists to the West who will come for the day, ride the park rides, and head back to Denpasar at the end of the day.
