The Rides at Wild Wadi
When it comes to excitement, you just can’t get enough at Wild Wadi! For one adrenalin rush after another, try the 80 kms/hr downhill hurtle on the 33 metre high Jumeirah Sceirah; the 1.5 metre high waves at Breakers Bay; the 170 metre white-knuckle ride at Rushdown Ravine; or any of the 14 awesome interconnected rides. For the not so brave and the laid back, Wild Wadi offers hours of relaxation. It’s the perfect place to unwind, sit back and have a great time.
Jumeirah Sceirah – This ride is the tallest and fastest free-fall water slide outside of North America. Rising to 33 meters (108 feet) and thrusting riders up to 80 KMs per hour, make it a great experience for thrill-seekers.
Master Blaster – With 8 Master Blaster slides in Wild Wadi that are described as uphill water roller coasters, where riders can sit on either a single or double ring, which are propelled uphill by high-powered water jets.
Ring Rides – Wild Wadi Dubai contains 7 Ring Rides that are described as downhill gravity slides, where riders sit in either a single or double ring sliding down fast to the bottom of the slide.
Family Rides – Summit Surge and Rushdown Ravine – Enjoy a huge splash with your family on this super-fun ride. The Summit Surge and Rushdown Ravine combination is daringly different. This unusually fluctuating ride first blasts you uphill into a pool area and then takes you on a 170 meter downhill, adrenalin pumping, white-knuckle ride!
Flowriders - The Wipeout and Riptide FlowRiders offer the ultimate surfing experience. One of only four such rides in the world, the Wipeout FlowRider is a blast. Devised by the maverick American lawyer/surf fanatic Thomas Lochtefeld, the Wipeout works by shooting out more than seven tonnes of water per second in a thin sheet across a moulded foam structure, producing a realistic wave effect ideal for body-boarding, knee-boarding or surfing.
Juha Journey’s – Juha’s Journey is a 360 metres long lazy river. Guests of all ages can enjoy this relaxing ride around a river with a gentle current. A rather pleasant break after riding the exciting Jumeirah Sceirah or one of the many uphill waterslides throughout the park.
Breakers Bay – The largest wave pool in the Middle East, Breakers Bay produces parallel and crossing 1.5 metre waves in five different configurations.
Juha’s Dhow – In December 2005 Wild Wadi launched a new family interactive play structure – Juha’s Dhow and Lagoon, making Wild Wadi even more FUN! With over 100 water games including 5 slides, a huge dumping bucket, a pair of racing slides, and water guns, Juha’s Dhow and Lagoon was especially designed for families with little ones in mind. The vibrant and colorful body slides, two of which are completely enclosed, add excitement and fun for our younger guests. Families will have hours of fun with Juha and his magic carpet-surfing friend Sinbad who feature on the Dhow.
Wadi washed – Wadi Wash, a choreographed sound, light and water show, is one of the main attractions at Wild Wadi and runs every hour on the hour. The “Fossil Rock” regularly fills up with 60,000 litres of water to create a “Flash Flood”.
Flood River – Circling the FlowRiders, Flood River features unannounced surges of 100,000 litres of water, creating waves over 2 metres high and sudden river rapids.

Safey and Rules
Sun & Water Safety Programme
Education can be fun. Honest. Just try our sun and water safety programme. Ideal for children between 4 and 12, the programme teaches them how to play it safe in a waterpark, while having a great time by applying 7 simple rules.
Rule #1 Don’t be nutty, swim with a buddy!
When swimming at a pool, beach, lake, or waterpark, always swim with a buddy and let adults know where you are. Never swim alone!
Rule #2 Walk, don’t run!
Running is the #1 cause of injuries at pools & waterparks. Remember to walk, don’t run!
Rule #3 Never dive into shallow water!
Always enter shallow water feet first! When you cannot see below the surface of the water, always enter feet first NOT head first!
Rule #4 If something happens, stay calm as a palm. Don’t panic!
If there is an emergency try to stay calm. It doesn’t help if everyone is panicking. Stay calm as a palm!
Rule #5 Call for help!
If something is wrong and others are there…call for their help immediately! Seek the attention of a lifeguard if at a pool, waterpark or beach.
Rule #6 When on a boat, wear a float!
No boats in WW, but wear a lifejacket if you don’t know how to swim! When on a boat, always wear a lifejacket.
Rule #7 When having fun, be careful in the sun!
Use sun block, sit in the shade, drink plenty of fluids, and avoid the hottest parts of the day. Have fun, but be careful in the sun!

Cashless Payments
Imagine spending an entire day in the park, enjoying the rides, the food, the drinks and even buying great stuff from Souq Al Wadi, and not having to carry a single buck in your pocket! At Wild Wadi you can do just that. Our cashless payment system (just a techie term for a nifty waterproof wristband) stores electronic credits, which can be used to buy whatever you need in the park.
If any credit is left over you can have it refunded at the end of the day.
Eating & Drinkings
The ride down Jumeirah Sceirah is totally out of this world, but the climb is sure to work up an appetite. Luckily our two fast food restaurants – Sinbad’s Galley and Julshan’s Kitchen – serve the most delicious snacks in town. Grab our lip-smacking burgers and French fries, dig into our yummy pizzas and hot dogs, or treat yourselves to our range of ice-creams and wide selection of soft-drinks. Another nice thing about Wild Wadi is you don’t have to eat at a table, though there are several throughout the park. Food can be eaten anywhere in the park, except for in the water, so you can continue having fun between bites.
Julshan’s Kitchen and Sinbad’s Galley
Wild Wadi’s two main restaurants serving fast food favorites like burgers, hotdogs, pizza and fries as well as some more healthy options like salads and grilled chicken.
Ali’s BBQ
Offering the same great fare as Wild Wadi’s other restaurants but with the addition of a live cooking station.
Leila’s Stand
Great place to relax and cool down while enjoying an ice cream or soft drink.
Shoppings
Seen one mall, seen them all? Wild Wadi’s Souq Al Wadi promises a different experience. To begin with it doesn’t look like a shop at all. Built to resemble a cave and packed with all kinds of cool stuff, you’ll soon know what Ali Baba felt like when he said ‘Open Sesame’.
Our themed retail outlet sells a comprehensive range of Wild Wadi merchandise, such as swimwear for children and adults, swim and play shorts, polo shirts, baseball caps, backpacks, beach umbrellas, towels, wallets and mugs.
