The Aquaventure Waterpark in Atlantis, The Palm, Dubai
The Aquaventure Waterpark is known to be a place where tourists will have the most exciting day out in Dubai, UAE, with thrilling and spectacular rides that are set in 42 acres of tropical lands, which include some beautiful waterfalls.
It seems to feature everything that you can ask for from an adventure park, such as adrenaline-pumping slides, uphill water coasters and splashers (the largest of their kind in the region) that children can enjoy to their heart’s content. This thrilling waterpark has even got better in 2013 when it opened more thrilling slides.
This waterpark boasts of more than a mile of interconnected waterways, so all you need to do is get on a tube and float your way around it, while you can spice things up by braving the rapids and slides, or just head to the pristine Atlantis beach to enjoy the stunning views of the city’s skyline.
The main draw here is the exhilarating Ziggurat, which is a ride that is not for the fainthearted, taking you to a journey through its mysterious core with dark and twisting tunnels before thrusting you into a tunnel within the Shark Lagoon, where you can also enjoy the thrill of watching sharks and rays from a leisurely viewing space.
From here, you will be plunged down the Leap of Faith, which is a near vertical free-fall waterslide that catapults you through shark-filled waters, though you should not worry as you will be behind glass! If you are not afraid of heights, then you can try the Atlantean Flyer (the longest zip line in the Middle East) and soar through the air to get unparalleled views of the Atlantis and the glittering Dubai skyline.
Other great attractions in this park include the Tower of Poseidon, Aquaconda and the Zoomerango. As for the Tower of Poseidon, it offers adrenaline-pumping and record-breaking waterslides that will cause your adrenaline to go into overdrive as you step into one of its capsules and wait for the time that you will be plummeted to the earth at a speed that can reach about 60 kilometers per hour.
As for the Aquaconda, it is the largest water slide in the world, so you might want to prepare yourself as it will catapult you on a wild 6-person raft adventure through a dark meandering tunnel and then drop you into a fiberglass tube, which is also the largest of its kind in the world. If you want to experience a burst of weightlessness, you should try Zoomerango.
If you are visiting the Aquaventure Waterpark with your children, then they can surely have fun with the Splashers and a water playground where they can frolic. The water jets and cannons, rope bridges and climbing frames in this area will guarantee that they will have the perfect water adventure experience during your trip.
