Inspired by this thread in the Singapore forum, since BSD City Zoo is rumored/slated to open next year:
What should Mandai add to its upcoming wildlife attractions (Speculation / Fantasy)

My opinion would be:
  • An aquatic section with humboldt/african penguins and semi-aquatic mammals such as otters or pinnipeds. Just not too big to eat up the zoo space.
  • Something like Singapore Zoo's Reptopia, a dedicated reptile section with outdoor and indoor sections featuring reptile species seldomly seen in Indonesia (hoping for alligators here since there haven't been any zoos in Indonesia that keep them. Chinese or American alligators are OK).
  • A walk-thru jungle biome dome like Singapore Zoo's Fragile Forest or Taipei Zoo's Pangolin Dome featuring native Indonesian faunas or native South American fauna. There would be an insectarium inside.
  • A drive-thru Safari section with exclusively African faunas such as antelopes, rhinoceros, hyenas, leopards, lions and probably gorillas if they can.
  • More rare animals, probably the otter civet can return here.
 
Isn't this zoo rumored to have gorillas and manatees later on? But here's my wish so far:
  • I definitely want to see a more dedicated exhibits of Indonesian islands, like Papua, Sulawesi, or Kalimantan.
  • A dedicated South American exhibit too, I prefer the African exhibit to be split based on region/biome; savannah, rainforest (Central and Western African forest themed exhibits), and the rivers (Where the aquatic and semi-aquatic African species displayed)
  • A bird house (Similar to Bronx Zoo) that displays the zoo's smaller and interesting birds, as well as the small mammal house (Dual-use as the nocturnal house)
  • More importantly, a more rainforesty vibe of the zoo. I'm getting tired of the boring theme-park choice of layout and decor of the newer zoos. I prefer to go back to the classic
 
If Jatim park is involved in building the park, I'm confident it can bring interesting species and ideas unseen in Indonesian zoos so far, as I'm somewhat miffed with how homogenised a lot of recent zoos have been (particularly Solo Safari and Jakarta Aquarium).

Here's my wishlist:
  • A walkthrough forest, similar to Fargusno's idea reminiscent of Mandai's Fragile Forest or I was thinking Melbourne Museum's Forest Gallery with tall logs that allude to a mature forest canopy. Possiby Papuan in theme with freeroaming Blue Tongued Skinks and various colorful birds. It would be a refreshing area in a very suburban/metropolitan city.
  • A proper nocturnal house featuring small mammals and reptiles, made dim to discourage people from taking photos. A climate controlled area like this would be perfect for housing Xenodermus javanicus.
  • A gallery housing various shrimp species from Lake Poso and Lake Matano, because Jabodetabek's aquariums haven't done so already, apparently. Would be nice to feature a very unique area currently very much under threat.
 
Lembang Park Zoo is owned by different company/people than Batu Secret Zoo and both parks has no cooperation.

I have heard some rumors about how this park will looks like:
- it will has small animal museum same like Jatim Park.
- large indoor Desert house is planned.
- large 1 hectare aviary will cover South American zone for several water animals like tapirs, giant otters, capibara, Jaguar, manatees and several primates and big number of parrots
- African zone with drive through Savana section
- Indonesian zone with most charismatic Indonesian species
Reptile house and aquarium.

For me the most interesting are Desert house and manatees - time will show if this ambitious plans will be realized.
Using the above rumors from the BSD zoo thread, I'll try to add few more stuffs from there on that I hope will be implemented, while trying to be as realisticly as possible.

Desert House
Rather similar to Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo's Desert Dome, only smaller in scale.
  • The first exhibit is an walkthrough aviary emulating the Australian outback. Inhabitants are budgerigar, cockatiel, Australian zebra finch, diamond dove, king quail, wandering whistling duck, and radjah shelduck, as well as northern snake-necked turtles and pig-nosed turtles in the water.
  • Additionaly an open-topped exhibit and an separate aviary are present in the walkthrough aviary. The open-topped exhibit houses central bearded dragon, frilled lizard, and shingleback, while the aviary houses laughing kookaburra.
  • In the more indoor section after the walkthrough aviary, we'll see some desert reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. This include western diamondback rattlesnake, gila monster, Saharan horned viper, Hermann's and marginated tortoise, uromastyx, veiled chameleon, and others.
  • Close to the reptiles and amphibians is two glassed exhibits for fennex fox and greater Egyptian jerboa.
  • Two glassed exhibits that have caracal and bobcat.
  • An mixed species exhibit with barbary sheeps and Hamadryas baboons.
South American aviary
Probably going to be similar to the desert house. Roughly similar to Singapore Zoo's Fragile Forest.
  • Before the main walkthrough aviary, we'll see several South American herps and invertebrates, including several species of poison dart frogs and tarantulas.
  • A very large walkthrough that are similar to Singapore's Fragile Forest with the mixed species. Notable birds include several scarlet ibis and a pair of toco toucan, reptiles will be green iguanas, red-footed tortoise, and yellow-spotted river turtle. A pair of Linnaeus' two-toed sloth will be present.
  • A separate, mixed exhibit for capybara and South American tapir is present inside the walkthrough aviary. These two species couldn't go anywhere outside of the exhibit, but the rest of the aviary inhabitant can enter and somewhat interact with them.
  • A separate, smaller walkthrough aviaries for Guianan squirrel monkey and some marmosets/tamarins.
  • An indoor aquarium section similar to Singapore's Flooded Forest, the main tank will house several manatees. An giant otter exhibit will be placed near the entrance.
  • An glassed jaguar exhibit, complete with underwater viewing, will end the South American exhibit tour.
African Zone
Rather vague, but I'll focus on the African Drive thru.
  • It will be separated based on geography, mostly East Africa, Central Africa, and South Africa.
  • For the main focus, East Africa will have giraffes and lions, Central Africa will have Nile hippo, while South Africa will have assorted herbivores like zebras, wildebeest, nyala, ostrich, and guineafowl.
Indonesian section
Again, very vague. I'll try to model it after the Indonesian Jungle of Prague Zoo.
  • Five paludariums can be seen based on Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua.
  • An komodo dragon exhibit, similar to the one in Taman Safari Bogor.
  • An walkthrough aviary for birds from the Sundaland, which will also include Prevost's squirrel, large flying fox, Java mouse-deer, and some turtles.
  • Inside the walkthrough aviary, separate exhibits include a glassed exhibit for coconut crabs and a larger one that will have Asian small-clawed otters and Javan binturong.
  • A large glassed exhibit for a group of proboscis monkey that is similar to the exhibit in Singapore Zoo that will also have underwater view. Other inhabitants are oriental pied hornbill, Malayan porcupine, Malaysian giant turtle, and several Kalimantan-native fishes that include an Asian arowana.
  • A nocturnal house inspired by Batu Secret Zoo's. It opened by an paludarium for earless monitor. Inhabitants are Sunda palm civet, Javan slow loris, spectral tarsier, sugar glider, small Indian civet, small-toothed palm civet, Sumatran masked palm civet, common spotted cuscus, Javan leopard cat, red giant flying squirrel, and Sunda pangolin.
  • An brackish tank with banded archerfish, monodactylus kottelati, green spotted scat, and freshwater moray.
  • A large outdoor exhibit for a pair of lowland anoa.
  • An glassed exhibit for Asian golden cat.
Reptile House and Aquarium
Way to vague, could be anything at this point. Wouldn't talk about if further. My wishlish for it to just be more better than the usual stuffs we get from Indonesian zoos and aquarias. The Reptile House should've a indoor and outdoor section, as well as more mixed species exhibit.

Here are some of my wishlist for BSD City Zoo:
  • A south-east asian freshwater aquarium.
  • A gibbon island exhibit just like the one in Singapore Zoo housing silvery gibbons, black howler monkeys, and grivets.
  • A glassed exhibit housing javan slow loris and sunda pangolin.
  • A false gharial exhibit with an underwater viewing just like in taman reptil TMII and sungei buaya in Singapore Zoo.
  • A large indoor reptile house housing 50-100 species of reptiles.
  • A large aviary housing lots of animals like Singapore Zoo's fragile forest.
  • A large cat zone consisting of javan leopard, flat-headed cat, asian golden cat, jaguar, and sunda clouded leopard.
  • A large freswater aquarium housing the amazon trios (arapaima gigas, tambaqui, redtail catfish), giant gourami, datnioides microlepis, aligator gar, and goonch catfish.
  • A large savanna exhibit housing chapman's zebra, blue wildebeest, common ostrich, and red lechwe.
  • A glassed exhibit housing common marmoset, black-tufted marmoset, and brazilian porcupine.
  • A spectacled caiman exhibit with a pond housing florida gars.
  • A marsh bird aviary just like the one that used to be in night safari Singapore housing little black cormorants, roseate spoonbills, pied stilts, wandering wishtling ducks, mandarin ducks, and masked lapwings.
  • A large flamingo pool housing flamboyance of caribbean flamingos.

btw if I may ask how many hectares is the BSD City Zoo? Because we know that BSD is lacking green areas because of the many developments
 
Using the above rumors from the BSD zoo thread, I'll try to add few more stuffs from there on that I hope will be implemented, while trying to be as realisticly as possible.

Tanah Premiun Bsd City | Rumah123
Maybe this land is suitable if there is an area for large animals, because 45 hectares is almost the same as Bali Safari and Marine Park. But we have to calculate because there are many residential areas next to it.
 
Actually, for BSD City Zoo, I want to make more specific features so that it's different from Ragunan Zoo, Aviary Park, Animalium BRIN, or Faunaland. From me, my wishlist is:

There is Nocturama which is as big as the Dunia Air Tawar TMII, which is being developed because later there will be a breeding area for Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica), Spectral tarsier (Tarsius tarsier), and Horsfeld's tarsier (Cephalopachus bancanus). The zone is divided into 4, namely:
  • Indonesian Zone (Zona Nusantara), 1st floor: Sunda slow loris (Nycticebus coucang), Javan slow loris (Nycticebus javanicus), Sunda porcupine (Hystrix javanica), Malayan porcupine (Hystrix brachyura), Sumatran porcupine (Hystrix sumatrae), long-tailed porcupine (Trichys fasciculata), small-toothed palm civet (Arctogalidia trivirgata), Malayan civet (Viverra tangalunga), banded palm civet (Hemigalus derbyanus), Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus), masked palm civet (Paguma larvata), binturong (Arctictis binturong), Asian small-clawed otter (Aonyx cinereus), smooth-coated otter (Lutrogale perspicillata), yellow-throated marten (Martes flavigula), Javan mongoose (Urva javanica), Sulawesi bear cuscus (Ailurops ursinus), Sulawesi dwarf cuscus (Strigocuscus celebensis), Javan ferret-badger (Melogale orientalis), Sumatran hog badger (Arctonyx hoevenii), large bamboo rat (Rhizomys sumatrensis), Prevost's squirrel (Callosciurus prevostii), black giant squirrel (Ratufa bicolor), western long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus bruijnii), eastern long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus bartoni), striped possum (Dactylopsila trivirgata), lesser mouse-deer (Tragulus kanchil), Java mouse-deer (Tragulus javanicus), and greater mouse-deer (Tragulus napu).

The hurdle here would be acquiring some of the rarer mammals that are/were held in BSZ.

The Dwarf Cuscus was a single individual and passed this year, the Hog Badger and Marten are single individuals and very old (to the point that the marten is now completely blind) and the long-beaked echidna passed some time ago too with it possibly being very hard to re acquire.

As a whole it is a very good idea though, especially the Crustacearium, but I wish it was executed by one of Jabodetabek's aquariums to allow this park more space for land animals.
