be patient to wait. That is queuing up to buy the entrance ticket. Here surely belonged to the
influx of expensive tickets like other tourist attractions. But of course this is comparable to what
we will get. Here a great many popular games and of course very exciting. So it’s not surprising

After we entered the region dufan then we will see one of
the vehicle i.e. turangga or carousel. Why can it be so? Because of the location of the
spacecraft is right in front of the entrance. The carousel is very big and it is very menakjukan. If

it very daunting because of the very high and drove at high speed there’s even a rail
line with a round-shaped so that at the time of passing through it we seem to
feel downward, there is also a rail line with derivatives or climbs very high, in fact there is
alsoa line that swooped. But don’t worry just lost heart for the standard,here there are
also rides the Thunderbolt kid. Although the same same drove at high speed but at least the
trajectory of the spacecraft is short and also low enough so it is safe for visitors who are afraid
of heights. But for those who love the height we can ride rides hysteria. We will be at an altitude

daughter, Seruni. She was sad because her father set her up with a young man who was her own
cousin. She had a love affair with a young man in her village. Desperate because she didn't know
what to do, she wanted to end her life by jumping into Lake Toba with a pet dog, Toki. When
she walked toward the cliffs on the shores of Lake Toba, she suddenly fell into a hole large stone
to get into the base. She was so desperate not to ask for help to anyone. She preferred to die in
the hole, she told herself. Suddenly the walls of the hole begins to close. "Docked ...! Docked
stone..!" Cried Seruni, so that the stone wall is getting closer and choke her. Toki saw the
incident immediately ran to the house to ask for help. At home, Toki immediately approached
Seruni's parents with barking, pawing the ground and pacing around his master, Toki tried to tell
that Seruni was in danger. Aware of what is implied by the dog, Seruni's Parents immediately
headed for the field. Both ran to follow Toki and followed the group of villagers up to the edge
of the hole where their daughters fall. Residents just heard the faint sound of a hole "Docked,
Docked stone ...." However, no one could reach that fell into the hole until the shock was
catastrophic and making a hole slowly docked and closed by itself. Seruni inside the hole was
eventually trapped and could not be saved. Some time after the shaking stopped, at the top of the
hole was closed and it appeared a large stone that resembled a girl's body that seemed to hang on
the walls of the cliff on the shores of Lake Toba. People who saw the incident believe that the
stone is an incarnation of Seruni and later renamed it as "Batu Gantung", Hanging Stone in
English.

“The Legend of the Bali Strait”

When the island of Bali is still united with Java, this story happened. In Daha Kingdom, there
lived a Brahmin man named Sidi Mantra. He has a son. Her son name is Manik Angkeran.
Manik Angkeran is a man who likes to gamble.
One day Manik Angkeran lost gambling and could not pay his opponent. So he asked his father
for help. At first, Sidi Matra did not help. However, Manik Angkeran threatened to hurt himself
if he did not comply.
Because he loved his son so much, Sidi Matra prayed to God for help After finishing praying, a
mysterious voice was heard. The voice told Sidi Matra to meet Naga Besukih on Gunung Agung.
but Sidi Matra must use a genta bell to meet Naga Besukih
When Sidi Matra met Naga Besugih, Sidi Matra got lots of gold and diamonds. However, gold
and diamonds were spent by Manik Angkeran. For the second time Manik Angkeran lost
gambling. He asked his father for help again to pay the debt. So Sidi Matra returned to meet
Naga Besukih. This time, Manik Angkeran secretly followed his father to go to Naga Besukih.
A few days later, Manik Angkeran stole his father’s genta bell to meet Naga Besugih and asked
for gold. Manik Angkeran got lots of gold and diamonds. But Manik Angkeran still felt
unsatisfied. He saw a very bright Besugih Dragon gem at the end of dragon’s tail. It like a big
diamond. So, Manik Angkeran also wants it.
The next day, Manik Angkeran came to Naga Besugih again. She snuggled. Beaver Besugih
quietly walked towards the rear of Naga. When the Naga Besugih still slept, Manik Angkeran cut
the tip of the dragon’s tail. Then, he quickly took him away. He forgot that his running speed
was not comparable to the size of Naga Besugih’s body.
However, Nagaa Besugih felt it. He woke up and saw Manik Angkeran running. Naga Besukih is
very angry. Naga Besugih licked Manik Angkeran’s feet and turned to ashes. Sidi Matra knows
this. Sidi Matra begged the Naga Besukih to revive his son.
Naga Besukih will grant Sidi Matra’s request, if the tail returns to normal. finally, using his
magic, Sidi Matra returned Naga Besugih’s dragon tail back to normal. As promised, Manik
Angkeran was revived by Naga Besugih.
Sidi Mantra is happy that her child lives again. However, he also knew that he could not live
with Manik Angkeran again. Manik must learn. So, using his wand, Sidi Mantra made a line
separating it from Manik Angkeran. From the line came very heavy water and eventually became
the sea. The sea is the strait of Bali. That is separating Java island and Bali Island.
