Rides & Slides Aquaventure Water Park
Aquaventure
water park hosts a plethora of pools, rides and all sorts of slides including:
Poseidon's Revenge Tower
It’s
the world’s wildest water slide and popularly deemed the scariest water slide
ever. We don’t know what exactly the revenge here is all about, but prepare for
some adrenaline rush as a trap door opens beneath your feet, dropping you
almost vertically 75ft then before you know it you’re launched into a double
loop at up to 40mph.
Think
that sounds like too much to handle? Have a warm up at:
Leap of Faith
Most
of us are used to gentle warm ups, but not on Leap of Faith (in tower of
Neptune)! One it’s hideous, but in the most incredible way and you’ll
absolutely love it! The soul searchingly steep ride bottoms you out into a see
through tube submerged in a water tank filled with sharks. Scared? We promise
the predators won’t feed on you!
Aquaconda
The
none other than the world’s largest waterslide resembles a giant sea serpent.
Riders of Aquaconda are plunged into a dark, meandering tunnel and into your
final destination-the world's biggest fiberglass tube.
Slitherine
Notable,
this is the world’s first ever dual water slide within a water slide. Riders
are free to race each other to see who gets to complete the twists and turns
first. Just be careful though-one wrong turn will take you straight into the
belly of the Anaconda.
Zoomerango
Most
definitely not your usual waterslide. Features vertical drops and sudden
plummets that gives you a sense of weightlessness while riding on it. You think
you can overcome gravity? Zoomerango is a perfect fit for you!
Rides
at tower of neptune include:
Shark Attack
It’s
one of those rides you’ll not forget in a long time! It glides you into an
inner tube that leads you straight into the heart of the tower of Neptune :)
Seconds
later, you’re in an underwater Lagoon packed with different kind of sharks.
Water Coasters
The
wild ride features water jets that propels you up and down before heading into
a maze of dark tunnels that leads you into a calm river, and yeah it calms your
senses.
Pro Tip: Children not meeting
the 1.2 metre requirement for both the towers of Poseidon and Neptune can head
over to splashers. Here kids have a great time too in the pools, fountains and
mini-waterslides
Tips for Visiting Aquaventure Water Park-Dubai
●
Visiting the water park is absolutely free for
guests residing at Atlantis the Palm Resort. Visitors can book their ticket
online here
●
Children below 12 years must be accompanied by
an adult
●
A height of 1.2m is required to experience
most of the rides
●
The water park is open everyday from 10:00 am
until sunset (subject to the time of the year)
●
Complimentary parking is available at Nasimi
Beach
●
To make the most of your day, come in early to
avoid crowds and extremely long queues (Remember you can skip the queue by
booking your ticket online)
●
As earlier mentioned, the park is situated in
Atlantis the Palm. So, just in case you’re new to Dubai-it’s right around the
corner from Downtown Dubai. Turning up early is dead easy!
●
It’s no surprise that the temperatures rise
pretty fast! This means the ground heats up fast as well and you don’t want to
stay bare footed and by mid day you be skipping from one shade to the next. Be
sure to bring shoes. FYI a pair of water shoes will be just perfect as they
don’t fall off or slip-you might want to avoid flip flops at all cost! Thank me
later!
●
Wondering how to carry your cash around in
swimming trunks or worse still bikini? Good news! You don’t have to carry the
cash around Aquaventure. Thanks to a system that allows you wear a wrist band.
Simply top it up by cash or card at the start of day and scan it every time
you’re making a purchase.
●
Remember to float on lazy river to explore the
water park like a boss for upto 45 minutes. The lazy river is 2.5km long and
hence the reason you need to get to the park early.
●
Selfie lovers, surprise! I’m about to break
your heart but it’s for your own good :) Selfie sticks are not allowed on the
rides. But truth of the matter is, you’ll have limited time for photos once you
begin going down the slides (you’ll probably be too busy screaming for your
dear life, lol)
●
Speaking of screaming, leap of faith is not
for the faint hearted. You must be super brave. The near vertical 27-metre drop
is no joke and if someone has already warned you, let’s get it straight once
and for all-they’re not scared cats! Just to get things a little more into
perspective, the ride is roughly 3 times the size of a London bus and half the
height of Cinderella Castle at Disney World-Florida (That’s huge)
●
Your safety while at the water park is
paramount and you’ll spot lifeguards in abundance and also experts around the
park are on the lookout every second. This makes the monstrous rides a tad less
intimidating
●
Drink but don’t over indulge. Sure you’ve been
waiting for this one and yeah the water park is licensed to sell booze ;) Grab
yourself a beer or mojito, but remember getting a little tipsy will have you
thrown out of the park.
●
You fancy the dolphins or strange enough the
sharks? You could embark on a leisurely stroll under water surrounded by sharks
or enjoy a belly ride on a the amazing dolphin!
