Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi is an Emirati-themed waterpark located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, that is home to 45 rides, slides, and attractions, and various seasonal events and shows. [1] The waterpark is just minutes away from Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, and CLYMB Abu Dhabi.
Set across approximately 15 hectares of land, the waterpark was developed by Aldar Properties and supported by Blackburn Share Holdings. [2] Yas Waterworld is managed and operated by Abu Dhabi–based Miral Asset Management LLC. [3]
The waterpark has played host to the World Flowboarding Championships since 2013 and it offers special training sessions to learn to ride the waves on body boards called Yas Flow League. [4]
Yas Waterworld's theme is based on an original story developed for the waterpark: The Legend of The Lost Pearl. This tale is inspired by Emirati culture and history, and follows the adventures of Dana, a young Emirati girl in search of a legendary pearl that had once brought prosperity to her village. Seeing how hard life was in her village, Dana voyaged across the desert with bandits in hot pursuit, to find the mighty pearl and bring prosperity back to her village. [5]
Yas Waterworld reflects traditional Emirati architecture in the entirety of the waterpark's design. It includes a detailed references to historic Emirati heritage with an Arabian castle-like exterior design, and a village-like interior design. [2] The conception and engineering of the Emirati fantasy theme waterpark was built on the narrative of The Legend of the Lost Pearl, which is inspired by Emirati culture and history, and is seen in the waterpark's architecture. The eponymous pearl is seen from outside the waterpark, and all the characters, attractions, shops and restaurants are also based on the story. [2]
The waterpark's attractions are grouped into four categories: Adrenaline Rush (extreme thrill), Exciting Adventures (high thrill), Moving and Grooving, and Young Fun (low thrill). The highest rides are Jebel Drop and Hamlool's Humps, and the fastest is Liwa Loop. The waterpark includes six rides that can’t be found anywhere else in the world: Bandit Bomber, Bubble’s Barrel, Cinesplash, Dawwama, Falcon’s Falaj and Slithers Slides. [3]
Since the park's opening in 2013, it has won the following awards:
