ABU DHABI: Yas Waterworld has officially opened its biggest ever expansion, introducing 11 new slides and attractions to the award-winning Abu Dhabi waterpark. The additions bring the park’s total offering to more than 70 rides, slides and attractions, further cementing its position as one of the region’s most exciting waterpark destinations.

At the heart of the expansion is Matamir’s Drop, the UAE’s tallest waterslide, where riders plunge from heights of over 40 metres before racing through a 233-metre course of twists and turns. For speed seekers, Sahel Matamir delivers a freefall racing experience packed with bursts of acceleration and moments of weightlessness, while Matamir Loop offers a rapid body slide designed purely for speed.

Matamir Twist combines sharp drops with immersive lighting effects, and Matamir Splash introduces the park’s first duelling mat racer, where guests race side by side to a super-soaked finish. Two jumping platforms including Al Afda, which invites guests to leap into cool waters below, round out the thrill offerings.

For those seeking a more relaxed experience, Sarab is a spacious new leisure pool providing a refreshing setting for families to unwind.

The expansion builds on the park’s immersive Lost City theming, an extension of The Legend of The Lost Pearl, blending high-energy thrills with family-friendly experiences across a dynamic new offering.

Since opening in 2013, Yas Waterworld has collected more than 65 industry awards and is enjoying a third consecutive year as the Middle East’s Leading Water Park at the World Travel Awards.
