IMAX Theater Keong Emas [Theater IMAX Keong Emas] is one of the earliest tourist attractions I visited at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park) compound. After more than ten years never having the opportunity to visit this place again, might even be more than fifteen years, finally we came there again. This time to watch another documentary film about various beauties of the homeland in this beautiful country.
Even though the title of the film I watched was exactly the same as what I saw decades ago, namely Indonesia Indah (Beautiful Indonesia), seeing it again was still very impressive. In fact, there are four series of Indonesia Indah, but as far as I can remember, I watched only two. Nothing has changed in the lobby of the TMII Keong Emas Imax Theater building, the place's official name. The counters and queues were still the same. Likewise the waiting room didn't seem to have changed much.
But there was a bit of a vague old and gloomy impression, or might be just because of my old eyes. There were not many visitors that day, so the ample waiting space looked quite roomy. No need to scramble for a seat, and no need to stand while waiting for the theater's door to be opened.
A very large ceramic painting on the left wall depicts Raden Inu Kertapati from the Kahuripan Kingdom with his two loyal guards.
Once upon a time there was Princess Galuh Candra Kirana from Jenggala who became the fiancée of Raden Inu Kertapati from Kahuripan Kingdom. Unfortunately she was forced to flee from the kingdom as she did not want to be married to the King of the Antah Berantah Kingdom, and she disguised herself as Dewi Sekartaji. During the escape, Batara Narada turned her into a golden snail, which was later found by Mbok Rondo Dadapan and kept by him in a water jar.
Since that day, every time Mbok Rondo came home from the fields and rivers, she found that her house was neat and clean, and there was also delicious and warm food on the table. After the same thing happened repeatedly, finally one day mbok Rondo pretended to leave her house, but she immediately returned to peek at what was happening inside her house.
Shortly afterwards, she gasped in shock when from inside the jar appeared a beautiful princess who immediately worked deftly cleaning the house and then cooking. After finishing, the princess disappeared back into the jar where the Golden Snail was stored.
The ceramic painting on the right wall depicts the figure of Dewi Candra Kirana, the princess of the Jenggala Kingdom who in the story was turned into the Golden Snail. Next to her is mbok Rondo Dadapan.
Back to the story, the next day Mbok Rondo pretended again to leave her house. When the beautiful princess appeared, Mbok Rondo Dadapan rushed into the house. She took the Golden Snail's house out from the jar and slammed it hard to the floor into pieces, as a result the princess could not reincarnate as the Golden Snail, and she was adopted by mbok Rondo.
The news of a beautiful princess in Dadapan Village finally reached Raden Inu Kertapati who was wandering around looking for traces of his beloved darling and disguised as Raden Panji Asmorobangun. Finally, the two of them were reunited and they returned to the kingdom with Mbok Rondo who had taken care of the Keong Emas.
The waiting room of the Imax Keong Emas Theater, which, although not air-conditioned, was still comfortable because of its high ceiling and good air circulation.

In each period different film titles were played.

Inner hall of the Imax Keong Emas Theater room was still looked elegant and in good condition, even though it's getting old. The carpet looks a bit dirty and needed cleaning.
