Miral, Abu Dhabi’s prominent creator of immersive destinations and experiences, has revealed plans for a significant expansion of Yas Waterworld on Yas Island. The expansion, covering 16,900 square meters, is scheduled for completion in 2025 and will feature an additional 3.3 kilometers of slide sections. Expected to increase visitor capacity by 20%, the expansion will introduce 18 new rides and attractions, bringing the total to over 60 rides and experiences. Among the noteworthy features are the UAE’s highest slide and the GCC’s first amusement ride integrated within a waterslide complex.
This expansion aligns with Miral’s vision to establish Yas Island as a leading global destination for entertainment and leisure. Mohamed Abdalla Al Zaabi, Group CEO at Miral, expressed pride in contributing to Abu Dhabi’s ecosystem and economic diversification while enhancing its global appeal as a tourism hub.
Once open, the water park will include unique features such as a swim-up bar, a high-thrill boat ride, racing and tube slides, family raft rides, and a dueling master blaster. The expansion also caters to mini thrill-seekers by providing smaller-scaled versions of Yas Waterworld’s most iconic rides.
Yas Waterworld is part of Yas Island’s diverse offerings, including Ferrari World Yas Island, Warner Bros. World, CLYMB Abu Dhabi, Qasr Al Watan, Etihad Arena, the world’s first Warner Bros. themed hotel, and the recently opened SeaWorld Yas Island.
