Yas Waterworld – 365 days of adrenaline-fuelled fun

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Yas Waterworld is the world’s only theme park based on the rich tradition of pearl hunting in the Emirates. Its inspiration is taken from the “Legend of the Lost Pearl,” which tells the story of a young girl in search of a magnificent pearl that would bring prosperity to her village. The futuristic theme park spans an area of about 15 football fields, and is most famous for its record-setting hydromagnetic water slide. This exciting 6-person ride simulates an unforgettable tornado-like experience and is a stunning 235 metres long.

With its 45 different attractions, slides and rides, five of which are not available anywhere else in the world, Yas Waterworld is truly a megalopolis among theme parks. There is fun to be had by both children and adults, particularly on the two original attractions: Dawwama – the world’s first hydromagnetic tornado water slide, and Bandit Bomber – the first interactive rollercoaster that combines water and laser effects. Surfing fans will, however, prefer the 3-metre waves of “Bubble’s Barrel,” the world’s largest artificial sheet wave.

Yas Waterworld is ideal for a one-day excursion from Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Visitors staying on Yas Island will, of course, wish to visit the theme park more than once. Do you have a need for speed? Are you looking for adrenaline-fuelled fun? If the answer is “yes,” then Yas Waterworld is definitely the place for you!
