Several years ago, visitors to Dubai had one choice of water park; Dreamland. Today, there are two new additions; Wild Wadi and Acquaventure at the Atlantis Hotel. With pricey admission fees, both water parks offer a day of action packed fun in the sun, yet which one is the best value for money? Whilst Acquaventure is probably more famous, due to the recent bling opening of the Atlantis Hotel, Wild Wadi has been and still is a long term favourite of residents and returning tourists. Situated within meters of the Burj Al Arab, its stunning location makes even residents feel like they are on vacation. What people tend to enjoy most about Wild Wadi is the range of water slides and activities; from the Jumeirah Sceirah, the tallest and fastest free fall water slide outside the US to the Master Blaster slides, that uses powered jets to propel riders uphill on single or double rings, the park has enough rides to keep the whole family entertained. In addition to several fantastic rides, the park also has an excellent designated area for people to have a go at surfing. Covering 12 acres, the design of the park is impressive with its Arabian Wadi characteristics and Arabian Folklore.  On the other hand, Acquaventure at the Atlantis has one particular slide that Wild Wadi can’t compete with, a shark infested lagoon. Its famous Ziggurat slide takes riders through a clear tunnel where sharks are swimming above and around you the tunnel. Scrarey! For those who want something a little more relaxing, Acquaventure has a range of other slides and attractions to keep even the young ones occupied. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 7.00 p.m. it is a unique water park and magnificent 700 metre beach have enough attractions to keep people coming back month after month. http://www.jumeirah.com/en/Hotels-and-Resorts/Wild-Wadi/
