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!
