About this audio guide
This guide to Dufan, the Dunia Fantasi theme park at Ancol in Jakarta, starts not on a ride but on a lonely bridge nearby, in the nineteen-fifties, where drivers sounded their horns at night for reasons that had nothing to do with traffic. It follows a ghost story Jakartans have told for generations, the girl at its centre, and the swamp that gave this whole shoreline a reputation long before anyone built a roller coaster on it. Best heard within earshot of the Halilintar.
