A world-leading waterpark is ready to make waves with the launch of record-breaking slides in a mighty expansion.
This week (March 1) Atlantis Aquaventure unveiled three new areas which has seen the UAE waterpark increase in size by a third.
Trident Tower is at the heart of park’s expansion – which at 48 metres tall, features 12 new slides and attractions.
Splashers Lagoon and Splashers Cove also boasts 16 new sensational waterslides, with many breaking-ground as being bespoke to the MENA region.
Standouts include the world’s tallest waterpark of its kind, the tallest vertical drop body slide in the Middle East and the region’s first cliff jumping experience.
Featured at Trident Tower, Shockwave is the world’s longest family water coaster of its kind. The tantalising slide immerses thrill seekers on a one-minute power blast along a 449 metre series of tunnels and curves.
The mighty expansion brings the total of slides at Atlantis AquaAventure to 76, with 26 additional water-based experiences and 26 F&B stalls and outlets.
Shockwave’s innovative features are their first of its kind in the UAE
The expansion is the park’s single biggest investment since opening in 2008 on the site of the prestigious Atlantis The Palm hotel. Atlantis AquaAventure is open to both hotel guests and wider tourists in the Dubai area.
