Summer holiday attraction: Yas Waterworld unveils massive ‘Lost City’ expansion with over 20 new rides

Yas Waterworld, the UAE’s award-winning waterpark on Yas Island, just got even bigger and wilder. The iconic family destination has officially opened its highly anticipated expansion, unveiling the “Lost City”, a sprawling new area that adds 13,445 square metres of adventure to the park.

The new addition is inspired by The Legend of the Lost Pearl, Yas Waterworld’s original story, and brings a fresh chapter of mystery, thrills, and watery fun.

Over 20 new attractions – now over 60 in total

The expansion introduces more than 20 new rides, slides, and splash zones, pushing Yas Waterworld’s offering to over 60 world-class attractions, making it one of the most ride-packed waterparks in the region.

Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or a toddler looking for splashy fun, there’s something for everyone:

Headline rides include:

  • Al Falaj Race – the region’s first duelling tube raft ride, where guests race side-by-side through fast-paced drops and twists.
  • Bahamut’s Rage – a wild log flume adventure with high-octane splashes and surprises.
  • Mataha Madness – a raft ride that spins, twists, and disorients in the best possible way.
  • Sadaf Swirl – the region’s first high-speed raft ride, delivering a spin-powered rush for families.

Family and kid-friendly zones:

  • Al Sahel Junior – the region’s first mini zero-gravity boomerango for younger thrill-seekers.
  • Dawwama Junior – a mini version of the iconic ride, perfect for little ones.
  • Red Dunes & Al Mafras – enclosed tube slides and desert-themed splash adventures for young explorers.

New dining and immersive experiences

The expansion also features a new dining venue, ensuring guests can refuel between rides. With immersive storytelling, themed attractions, and interactive water elements, the Lost City is more than just a collection of rides, it’s a full-on experience.

More thrills, more fun, more reasons to visit

Designed to appeal to families, friends, and adrenaline junkies alike, the new zone solidifies Yas Waterworld’s status as one of the top waterparks in the world. Whether you’re chasing speed, splashes, or shared family memories, the Lost City invites all to dive into a new world of discovery and excitement.
