Slide Into the Fun – Here’s What’s New & Unskippable At Yas Waterworld
Can’t ride ‘em all in one go? We’ve got you. Start strong with these splashy show-stoppers at Yas Waterworld:
Al Mafras
It’s a twisting, desert water slide, featuring smooth turns, exciting slopes, and a fun-filled splash landing. SPF optional, but the grins are guaranteed.
Red Dunes
This isn’t a slide, it’s a whooshy water whirlwind in disguise. Think of it as a twisting, closed aqua tube slide designed for maximum excitement. Enclosed, fast, and a little bit chaotic – like being sucked into a wet sandstorm that forgot it was meant to be scary and went full theme-park fabulous instead.
Falaj Race
Ready to settle that sibling rivalry once and for all? Welcome to Al Falaj Race, the region’s first side-by-side dueling tube raft race, with high-speed drops, sharp twists, and head-to-head action. May the bravest win!
Al Sahel Junior
The region’s first mini zero-gravity boomerango – a vertical water rollercoaster for the young and the brave. (Parents: don’t pretend you’re not jealous.) Imagine exciting drops, winding slides, vertical zooms and tiny thrill-seekers screaming “whoooo”!
Dawwama Junior
Another bite-sized whirlwind at Yas Waterworld! This scaled-down version of the park’s iconic tornado ride lets the littlest daredevils feel like proper storm-chasers. Buckle up (metaphorically – it’s all water), and let the swirling begin.
Sadaf Swirl
Get caught in a spinning cyclone of watery chaos and swirling excitement. Screams optional but highly recommended!
Mataha Madness
This one’s all about tricky turns and twisty tunnels – perfect for those wild ones who like to start their rides with “Wait, where am I even goingggg?!”
Bahamut’s Rage
So, Bahamut is a mythical…(wait, note to self: Google who this is later). Anyway, doesn’t matter at the moment. All you need to know is: for those chasing the adrenaline, Bahamut’s Rage offers exhilarating drops on a high-thrill log flume water ride.
Bandit’s Playground @ Bandit’s Village
Little ones, and adults too, will enjoy the interactive fun at Bandit’s Playground, a dynamic splash zone packed with surprises located within the all-new Bandit’s Village.
