Alright thrill-seekers, water babies, and snack-hunters—brace yourselves. This summer, Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi is turning up the splash level with a mega expansion that promises to drench you in joy, laughter, and probably a few unexpected water cannons.
Announced by developer Miral at the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai (yes, the same event that basically decides our summer plans), this upgrade is not just big—it’s wave-making huge. We’re talking 12 brand-new rides and slides (yes, TWELVE), plus new foodie stops that’ll have you refueling in delicious style between all that aquatic chaos.
Big Thrills for Little Humans
Calling all tiny adrenaline junkies! The expansion rolls out some epic new experiences designed just for kids—but let’s be honest, adults will be side-eyeing these too.
- Al Sahel Junior: Say hello to the region’s first mini zero-gravity boomerango. Translation? Mini humans can now defy gravity with splashy drops, twisty slides, and zoomy zooms. It’s like a rollercoaster that called in sick and went to the pool instead.
- Dawwama Junior: Ever looked at that massive tornado slide and thought, “if only my toddler could try that without flying into another dimension”? Dreams do come true, my friend. Dawwama Junior delivers the same swirl-tastic fun, just snack-size.
- Rimal Racer: Little legs, big races. Kids can now race side-by-side in this mini version of a classic speed slide. Cue the giggles, the splashes, and the competitive bragging for days.

Whole Family? Whole Lotta Fun.
This one’s for the family that does not do boring vacations. Yas Waterworld is adding attractions that promise squeals, screams, and soaked shoes for everyone involved.
- Mataha Madness: A maze full of mysterious twists, turns, and probably that one uncle who thought he knew the way out.
- Sadaf Swirl: It’s like riding inside a smoothie blender, minus the strawberries. Get ready for spinning, swirling fun.
- Bahamut’s Rage: A high-thrill log flume ride that makes “just one more ride” turn into “maybe not before lunch.”
- Bandit’s Playground: A watery wonderland packed with splash zones, mini rides, and things that spray water when you least expect it. Perfect for the kiddos—or grown-ups who never emotionally left kindergarten.

From 45 to 57 Attractions – Because Why Not?
With this summer expansion, Yas Waterworld is going full beast mode, taking its total lineup to 57 attractions. That’s right, you’ll need more than just one visit to conquer it all. Or a seriously good waterproof smartwatch.
According to Dr. Mohamed Abdalla Al Zaabi, Group CEO of Miral, this upgrade isn’t just about fun (though, clearly, there’s a lot of that)—it’s about putting Yas Island even more firmly on the global map as a top-tier entertainment destination. And hey, if that means more tourists, more food options, and more rides for us locals? We’re here for it.
So, grab your floaties, charge your waterproof GoPro, and cancel whatever plans you thought you had this summer—because Yas Waterworld just made a very splashy announcement, and it’s one you won’t want to miss.
Pro Tip: Pack extra towels. And snacks. And maybe a backup swimsuit. Things are about to get wild.
