The announcement has excited thrill-seekers the world over. The expansion has increased the size of Atlantis massively. In total there are 28 new record-breaking waterslides and attractions (12 in Trident Tower and 16 in Splashers). The length of the beach has also been increased by 1 kilometer.

Experiences include the tallest waterslide of its kind in the world, the longest family water coaster in the world of its kind, the tallest vertical drop body slide in the Middle East and the first cliff jumping experience in the Middle East.

Embarking on its year-long journey of innovation, there is a promise of something new and exciting to experience for visitors to the waterpark. Visitors are guaranteed endless hours of water-based fun. The waterpark is the largest kids only experience in the Middle East.

Tim Kelly, managing director, Atlantis Dubai, said: “As the biggest waterpark expansion in history, we are delighted that Atlantis, Dubai is now home to one of the world’s largest waterparks, as well as record-breaking waterslides some of which cannot be found anywhere else globally.
“Now with 105 slides, attractions and experiences for all ages and thrill levels, the expansion has increased Atlantis Aquaventure by a third in size to feature 79 rides across three towers, 26 marine and watersports experiences and 26 food and beverage outlets and kiosks across the park.

The expansion comes at a time when the travel industry has been challenged by the Covid virus. Dubai, which is open to travelers and is the perfect family vacation spot at this time, has been very stringent with their health and safety measures. They have also incorporated staff training programs especially for those in the hospitality industry. Dubai is well known as a safe travel environment.
