AQUAVENTURE
Atlantis The Palm, Crescent Road, Palm Jumeirah – Dubai
Set in the sprawling Atlantis The Palm resort, Aquaventure is the biggest waterpark in Dubai and can boast some of the most adrenaline-pumping rides of any waterpark anywhere in the world. The park itself comprises two main towers (Poseidon and Neptune), which are connected by a giant lazy river that transports riders between slides. For those who thrive on adrenaline, the park has a number of options; however, the most hardcore have to be Poseidon’s Revenge and the Leap of Faith. The former closes riders into a see-through vertical tube, before a trap door opens, leaving them to plummet towards the ground, whereas the latter is simply a wide-open, near-vertical drop that only those with particularly strong stomachs dare undertake.
