For the last decade, Yas Waterworld has immersed guests in ‘The Legend of the Lost Pearl’ story, which reflects the UAE’s rich pearl-diving heritage. Combining the coolest rides and thrilling attractions as well as shopping and dining options into a seamless, guest experience, the award-winning theme park is the ultimate water adventure.
This new chapter will bring a new adventure called the ‘Lost City’ where guests will embark on a journey to discover hidden treasures and secret passages, intertwined with fun attraction.
Seamlessly blending with the parks existing style features of the new expansion will include a swim up bar, a high-thrill boat ride, racing and tube slides, family raft rides, and a duelling master blaster.
The expansion caters for mini thrill seekers as well by providing smaller scaled versions of Yas Waterworld’s most iconic rides. These include a mini-Dawwama, which will be the region’s only kids’ mini blaster fusion ride with two blaster sections and a thrilling rattler end section, as well as a mini-Boomerango to give little guests that big ride sensation minus the fear, with a fantastic hero-shot photo opportunity.
Yas Island is going from strength to strength with world-class attractions such as Ferrari World Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, Warner Bros. World™ Abu Dhabi, CLYMB Abu Dhabi, Qasr Al Watan, Yas Bay Waterfront which is home to the UAE’s largest indoor multi-purpose venue Etihad Arena, the world’s first-ever Warner Bros. themed hotel, and the newly opened SeaWorld Yas Island.
News of a Harry Potter expansion at Warner Bros. World™ is on the horizon and we look forward to more details of that over the coming months as Yas Island is becoming a hot bed of tourism appealing to guests around the world.
