Sejarah

Gagasan pembangunan suatu miniatur yang memuat kelengkapan Indonesia dengan segala isinya ini dicetuskan oleh Ibu Negara, Siti Hartinah, yang lebih dikenal dengan sebutan Ibu Tien Soeharto. Gagasan ini tercetus pada suatu pertemuan di Jalan Cendana no. 8 Jakarta pada tanggal 13 Maret 1970. Melalui miniatur ini diharapkan dapat membangkitkan rasa bangga dan rasa cinta tanah air pada seluruh bangsa Indonesia. Maka dimulailah suatu proyek yang disebut Proyek Miniatur Indonesia "Indonesia Indah", yang dilaksanakan oleh Yayasan Harapan Kita.

TMII mulai dibangun tahun 1972 dan diresmikan pada tanggal 20 April 1975. Berbagai aspek kekayaan alam dan budaya Indonesia sampai pemanfaatan teknologi modern diperagakan di areal seluas 150 hektar.

Kedua huruf ini mewakili nama "Indonesia Indah" sedangkan maskotnya berupa tokoh wayang Hanoman yang dinamakan NITRA (Anjani Putra). Maskot Taman Mini "Indonesia Indah" ini diresmikan penggunaannya oleh Ibu Tien Soeharto, bertepatan dengan dwi windu usia TMII, pada tahun 1991.

Ancol Jakarta Bay City


Taman Impian Jaya Ancol merupakan sebuah objek wisata di Jakarta Utara. Pada 2006, Taman Impian Jaya Ancol berubah nama menjadi Ancol Jakarta Bay City.

Sejarah

Sebagai kawasan wisata, Taman Impian Jaya Ancol ternyata sudah berdiri sejak abad ke-17. Waktu itu, Gubernur Jenderal Hindia Belanda,Adriaan Valckenier, memiliki rumah peristirahatan sangat indah di tepi pantai. Seiring perjalanan waktu, kawasan itu kemudian berkembang menjadi tempat wisata.

Sayangnya, ketika Perang Dunia II meletus disusul perang kemerdekaan, Ancol terlupakan. Sungai Ciliwung secara leluasa menumpahkan air dan lumpurnya ke sana sehingga mengubah kawasan tersebut menjadi kotor, kumuh, dan berlumpur. Kawasan yang semula cantik, berubah menjadi menyeramkan bagaikan 'tempat jin buang anak'.

Lalu, muncul usulan agar kawasan itu difungsikan menjadi daerah industri. Namun, usul itu ditolak mentah-mentah oleh Presiden Soekarno. Malah, Bung Karno ingin membangun kawasan itu sebagai daerah wisata. Lewat Keputusan Presiden pada akhir Desember 1965, Bung Karno memerintahkan kepada Gubernur DKI Jaya waktu itu, dr. Soemarno, sebagai pelaksana pembangunan proyek Taman Impian Jaya Ancol. Proyek pembangunan ini baru terlaksana di bawah pimpinan Ali Sadikin yang ketika itu menjadi Gubernur Jakarta. Pembangunan Ancol dilaksanakan oleh PD Pembangunan Jaya di bawah pimpinan Ir. Ciputra.

Pembangunan

Kekhasan Taman Impian Jaya Ancol di awal-awal berdirinya ditandai dengan dibangunnya Teater Mobil pada tahun 1970. Sarana rekreasi berikut yang dibangun makin mempopulerkan keberadaan Taman Impian Jaya Ancol, tidak saja di kalangan masyarakat ibu kota, tetapi juga seluruh Indonesia.

Pembangunan berbagai proyek terus berlanjut hingga kini. Pedagang kaki lima ditata, hotel dibangun, lapangan golf, dan beragam permainan dihadirkan. Hal itu berarti sarana rekreasi dan hiburan di Taman Impian Jaya Ancol akan semakin lengkap. Pada tahun-tahun berikutnya, pengadaan sarana rekreasi dan hiburan diarahkan pada sarana hiburan berteknologi tinggi. Hal itu telah dimulai dengan dibangunnya kawasan Taman Impian "Dunia Fantasi" tahap I pada tahun 1985.

Kini, Taman Impian Jaya Ancol yang berdiri pada lahan seluas 552 hektar, telah menjadi tempat wisata dan rekreasi permainan terbesar dan terlengkap di Indonesia.

Biaya Masuk
