THE BEST RIDES AT WILD WADI WATER PARK
WILD WADI RIDES FOR THE ADRENALINE SEEKERS:
JUMEIRAH SCEIRAH
This is the ultimate adrenaline-pumping ride at Wild Wadi that is a must-visit for adventure seekers. Recently revamped, this ride is now longer and scarier, and one of the best things to do at Wild Wadi! Climb up the 32-metres tower, where a capsule awaits you. Step into the capsule, cross your arms and legs, and wait in growing anticipation. And before you know it, the floor beneath you opens, and you zip down 120-metre long slide at 80 km per hour! With two tandem slides, you can make the experience for fun by doing it together with a friend.
TANTRUM ALLEY
This four-seater ride is not for the faint of heart. Hold on tight as you whiz down the slides to enter the massive tornado, spinning and screaming. You’ll slide back and forth, only to then plunge down more slides before hitting the second and third tornadoes. You’ll finally splash into the pool with a pounding heart!
BURJ SURJ
Grab your friends and brave the fast slides of Burj Surj! Seated on a tube, you’ll hurtle down the spiralling slides, will be sent spinning in the Bowl, before plunging down the final slide and ending in the pool with a mighty splash! Younger adventure seekers who can brave the twists and turns will have fun on this ride, too.
MASTER BLASTERS
Defy gravity in this aquatic water rollercoaster as you rocket up 15 metres above ground level! Master Blasters is a series of 8 thrilling slides propelled water jets, that will make you twist, turn and scream! Kids under 50kg need to be accompanied by another rider in the tube.
WIPEOUT AND RIPTIDE FLOWRIDERS
Get ready for a surfing experience like no other in this Wild Wadi ride! With seven tonnes of water shot out every second, the Flowriders produces an amazing wave effect that’s perfect for body-boarding and knee-boarding – if you can master the waves, that is!
Guests must be above 1.1 metres in height to be allowed in these rides!
FOR THOSE WHO WANT A RELAXING EXPERIENCE:
JUHA’S JOURNEY
Wind down this lazy river that snakes through the park and enjoy the relaxing experience. Take a break from the thrilling slides and activities in a single or double-seater tube, and glide down the 360-metre long river! It’s one of the best rides at Wild Wadi for younger guests too, but kids need parent supervision at all times.
BREAKER’S BAY
Can you master the massive waves of Breaker’s Bay? The largest wave pool in the Middle East, this is one of the Wild Wadi rides that is ideal for all ages, with parent supervision, of course. Simply bob up and down in the water and soak up the beautiful views – or try to swim against the giant waves produced at intervals!
Guests must be below 1.1 metres in height can enjoy these rides too – with parental supervision!
