If you’re planning a fun day in Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld has something new waiting for you. On April 4, the park opens 11 new rides, including the tallest waterslide in the country. And it’s the one you’ll probably head to straight away.
The new star of the park, and easily one of the boldest water attractions in the UAE, Matamir’s Drop starts over 40m above the ground. It’s the kind of slide that gives you a brief “wait, should I?” moment… and then you’re already dropping for over 200m.
Matamir’s Drop might get all the attention at first, but the rest of the new rides are the same good, though some are lighter and some are faster, depending on what you’re in the mood for:
- Sahel Matamir with quick bursts of speed
- Matamir Loop, which is short and fast
- Matamir Twist where you slide through with lights flashing around you
- Matamir Splash with race lanes
- Sarab, a pool when you feel like slowing things down
- Al Afda, a jump platform, simple idea, just step off and go
With new rides, Yas Waterworld in Abu Dhabi offers over 70 attractions for visitors. If you’re looking for a fun way to cool off with friends or family this April, this is is a great option. You can book your tickets to the park through the link below.
