Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi’s Mega Waterpark Ready To Open Next Week
Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi, set on 15 hectares at the centre of Yas Island’s exciting entertainment complex, will open its gates to visitors on January 24, 2013.
Even before those gates were opened, Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi had walked away with the World Waterpark Association’s inaugural Leading Edge Award for "demonstrating [industry] leadership and innovation through its storyline, park and ride design, theming and attention to every detail", an incredibly promising pre-opening accolade to herald the launch of the global entertainment landmark, expected to be one of the most popular leisure attractions in the Middle East.
Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi features 43 rides, slides and attractions set in a legendary world that evokes Abu Dhabi’s history and heritage through an original story-theme - "The Legend of the Lost Pearl".
Visitors follow the original story of ?Dana’, a young Emirati girl, on a quest for the legendary pearl that had once brought prosperity to her village. The fun story is brought to life throughout the waterpark in many ways, from the colourful characters that greet visitors on their entry to the rides, slides and attractions themselves that are all iconic extensions of the story characters and their personalities.
The Park’s two interactive attractions - PearlMasters and Hairat Yas take the guests a step further, making them a part of the action.
The unique PearlMasters adventure is the very first treasure-hunt style interactive adventure game to make an appearance in a waterpark and the Hairat Yas - is where a live interactive pearl diving show allows guests to learn more about an occupation that forms an integral part of the UAE’s history.
The Emirati adventure continues with the Park’s exciting series of rides and slides - including Falcon’s Falaj which descends from the top of a giant falcon’s nest; Hamlool’s Humps and Jebel Drop - both extreme body slides that plunge through rock crags; and Liwa Loop - the only looping waterslide in the Middle East with a retractable platform that drops out from beneath your feet to unleash high octane thrills.
