Miral, Abu Dhabi’s creator of immersive destinations and experiences, has set an opening date of 1 July for Yas Waterworld’s expansion.
Spanning 13,445 square metres, the expansion of Yas Waterworld includes 20 new rides, slides and experiences, as well as a new dining experience.
When the project debuts, Yas Waterworld will house more than 60 rides, slides, and attractions.
Signature rides to launch at the park include Al Falaj Race, the region’s first side-by-side duelling tube raft racer slide; and Al Sahel Junior, the first mini zero-gravity junior boomerango.
Highlights also include Bahamut’s Rage, a high-thrill log flume water ride; Al Mafras, a twisting, desert water slide for kids; and Red Dunes, a closed tube slide.
Dawwama Junior is a scaled-down version of the park’s iconic tornado slide, Bandit’s Playground is a dynamic splash zone, and Mataha Madness is a maze of twists and turns.
New experiences on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi
Mohamed Abdalla Al Zaabi, group CEO of Miral, said: “These new rides not only transform water-based entertainment in the region but also reflect our ongoing commitment to creating innovative destinations that captivate visitors of all ages.
“As we continue to contribute to Abu Dhabi’s tourism growth and economic diversification, we’re proud to offer yet another reason for families and thrill-seekers to explore everything Yas Island has to offer, further positioning it as a top global destination for entertainment and leisure.”
For the expansion, Yas Waterworld will introduce a new theme called the Lost City, described as a world of hidden treasures and secret passages.
This enhances the water park’s original story, which is inspired by the UAE’s pearl-diving past.
Yas Waterworld is located on Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island alongside world-class theme parks like SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, and Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi.
These will be soon joined by Disneyland Abu Dhabi, which was recently announced by Miral and Disney.
