dubaidave Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Heres some pics of the 3rd water park in Dubai, This one is actually about 45 minutes up the coast from Dubai. FOr some reason they make you wear Wrist Bands. There is only one way in and ot and once you leave you cant come back in. Made it nearly there now. And head off through the desert to reach the coast road. After you feel like you have gone too far you finally reach the turn off. Its very common in Dubai to find groups of men running across motorways. It used to take 2 hours t get to Dreamland, but the opening of the new motorway has cut it down to arounf 45 minutes. after an hour of sweaty struggling with the spare we were on our way The day started with a puncture before we had even set out.

dubaidave Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 Now we have made it lets have a look at the rides. but it was broken They did have a parachute simulator. as has the video zone The shopping and restaurant area has seen better days. and the hippos back outside you can see the broken slide and the old kids play area. and a slide that has never worked. an inoor jacuzzi This erupting volcano houses.... This inconspicuous hut actually contains a bar upstairs. Hey, look, theres some people here now! Then get flushed out the bottom, where it takes two life guards to drag you to the surface. spin around a bit. you shoot down a tube nto the bowl. ....And a deadly, toilet bowl ride A family raft ride...... This area used to stage concerts, but now has two new rides. The black hole is partially buried. quite a good overview of the park And quite long The twisted sister ride is very fast and very dark a better shot of the wave pool The new kids play area one of the ride structures It was packed today. this is the busiest we have ever seen it. They used to claim to have the largest wave pool in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Creepy being there when it is so dead! Why is it that people are running across the highways? I doubt it's the reason you see it on SoCal! Great to see these places from so far away! Although the other waterpark looks, MUCH nicer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 That was, genuinely the busiest we have seen the park. Basically its quite a way out and the main reason people go there is that there is an illegal booze shop next door. This Google spell check is fantastic. The people running across the roads are the labourers her in Dubai. In the city they have had to put fences up in the middle of the roads to stop people doing it.

CoasterCrazy88 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Very cool looking water park! The twisting slide looks really crazy. I hate exteremely tight, dark body slides. Nice photo TR though. Antonio"Have you ever been to Wild Wadi?"G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
