Park representatives shared that they will be introducing 12 new slides and a 112-ft tall tower that will be called the Trident. Also, the expanded section will feature a new children’s area, with four mini versions of adult rides.
Among the waterpark’s new slides is the Mammoth Blast, which is described as a ‘449-metre family adventure water coaster that delivers uncompromising force at unprecedented speeds’.
Guests will enjoy the slide on rafts and will experience back-to-back curves, drops and uphill climbs powered by water propulsion technology.
At present, the famed Dubai waterpark currently has over 20 slides and rivers that visitors can enjoy.
The current title for the world’s biggest waterpark belongs to the Tropical Islands Resort in Germany.
