Yas Waterworld - Wildest Water Park in Abu Dhabi

Sep 30, 2022
Yas Waterworld - Wildest Water Park in Abu Dhabi

It’s far too toasty to go to the beach! What should you do if you still have a strong desire to spend hours in the sun? You already know the right answer, and it’s “Yas Waterworld.” We’re not joking. You can enjoy the sun while also getting away from the humidity and heat. Let us explain further.

This hybrid park is regarded as one of the best in the UAE. Water covers 11 hectares, which is why it’s called Waterworld. There are 43 rides and attractions spread across this total land area, set among caves, mountains, rivers, and beaches! Moreover, you have easy access to Ferrari World and Warner Bros. since all of these parks are part of Yas Island. Now, are you ready to take a virtual trip to this park that can accommodate up to 7,000 visitors? Let us begin our journey at one of Abu Dhabi’s popular tourist attractions.

Yas Waterworld Rides

Yas Waterpark features more than 40 unique rides distributed across 6 distinct zones, each with its own unique allure. Adrenaline Rush, Exciting Adventure, Moving and Grooving, and Young Fun make up the park’s four “thrill levels.”

The Highest Water Slide is Jabel Drop

The Jabel Drop is the most exhilarating ride in Yas Waterworld. It boasts a vertical freefall drop waterslide where, as you slide down, you can enjoy a fantastic view of the entire park. You might have to wait a bit longer to try this one. There is always a huge line as this is one of Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi’s more popular rides.

Dawwama

Undoubtedly, Dawwama will be the park’s major high point. Six riders are propelled upward by hydromagnetic power on the 20-meter-high funnel ride. Cameras placed within the ride are designed to record the riders’ facial emotions of utter terror. At a staggeringly enormous 238 meters long, it also holds the world record for the longest run-in.

Falcon’s Falaj: Longest Water Coaster in the Middle East

This attraction resembles a water-based roller coaster, hence the name. Falcon’s Falaj is the Middle East’s longest colossal water coaster ride at 300 metres, and its main objective is to make people scream! Given that it has so many curves, drops, rapids, and twists, it is probably safe to assume that it will succeed in achieving that particular objective.

Bubble’s Barrel

The Bubbles’ Barrel, is the largest surfable sheet wave in the world, with a 3-meter-high wave and 1,250 pumps that are pushing 7,000 litres per second. For people who are new to surfing and flow boarding, the smaller Rush Rider is there to try. Be prepared to get dropped into the water from time to time! Clayton Barker, a world-class flow border will be there to provide demonstrations and instructions.

Bandit Bomber

The Bandit Bomber is yet another world-record-breaking feature at this waterpark in Abu Dhabi. The Bandit Bomber, a 550-meter-long water coaster, is the only suspended rollercoaster and the only water coaster in all of the Middle East. You won’t only be hanging upside down; you’ll also be able to discharge your water jet at moving targets, which will provide unique effects and drop water bombs. With a capacity of 700 guests per hour, spectators can also take part in the excitement by interacting from below at the unique zones, such as the Jabha Zone, one of the interactive drop zones on the Bandit Bomber, where guests can spray water on coaster riders as they whiz by.

Restaurants

You may find plenty of cafes, snack stores, and restaurants to meet your needs.

  • Salma’s Snack Shop is a great place to grab a fast snack. It is next to Tot’s Playground and Yehal Infants Pool and offers a variety of salads, sandwiches, fresh fruit, and smoothies.
  • Take a rest at Dana’s Diner, which is located in the Souk close to the Bubble Barrel Flow Rider. They serve BBQ wings, burgers, salads, and sandwiches.
  • Enjoy a variety of foods at Chubby’s Kitchen, which is located adjacent to the Bandit Bomber. Dishes include Arabic, Indian, and Western treats.
  • The best way to beat the summer heat is with some cold lemonade, shaved ice, or ice cream, at Skinny’s Frozen Treats.

Shopping

There are plenty of alternative activities to keep yourself occupied in between getting wet in addition to all the rides. Starting with the themed goods of Sultan and Sons and ending with Arabic spices and trinkets at Ibhar Island
