Yas Waterworld to Make Waves This Summer With 12 New Rides

Yas Waterworld Yas Island, Abu Dhabi is getting a major upgrade this summer, with the addition of 12 new rides and slides as part of its latest expansion, bringing the total number of attractions to over 57.

The new offerings include attractions for all ages, with highlights for younger visitors like ‘Dawwama Junior’—a mini version of the park’s signature tornado slide—and ‘Al Sahel Junior,’ the region’s first kid-friendly zero-gravity boomerango. Meanwhile, ‘Rimal Racer’ invites little ones to race side-by-side down vibrant slides.

Families can also look forward to new high-thrill rides like ‘Bahamut’s Rage,’ a dramatic log flume ride, and ‘Mataha Madness,’ a twist-filled maze adventure. There’s also ‘Bandit’s Playground,’ a new splash zone in the expanded ‘Bandit’s Village,’ offering interactive water play for younger guests.

Tying it all together is the newly introduced ‘Lost City’ theme, a continuation of the park’s original ‘Legend of the Lost Pearl’ story, complete with hidden treasures and secret passages woven through the new attractions.
