Huge Wahooo! Waterpark to open summer 2009

From the team that brought the wonder of snow to Dubai, comes their latest enterprise, Wahooo!, a waterpark adventure in Bahrain.

The makers of Ski Dubai, the world-famous indoor snow resort in the desert, will open their latest attraction, a 15,000 square metre indoor 'aqua-park' in the heart of Bahrain's capital this summer.

Wahooo! is an incredible mix of slides, chutes and rising rapids in the largest temperature-controlled waterpark in the region. Among the many attractions is the exciting 'Flowrider', one of the world's largest full size surfing machines, a 190 metre 'Masterblaster Rollercoaster' and a four-lane 'Matt Racer' that loops around the outer edge of the waterpark.

All this is at a guaranteed 30 degrees Celsius - all year round!

Wahooo! is located within Bahrain's largest and newest 1.5 million square foot retail offering, the Bahrain City Centre .

Damien Latham, General Manager Wahooo! Waterpark, said:
"Wahooo! has already generated a lot of excitement across the region. Wahooo! promises to be an exciting new addition to Bahrain's leisure offering. People, young and old, will have a great adventure and the name Wahooo! says it all!."


The company promises international standards in water treatment and swimming safety and all of Wahooo's lifeguards will be certified by the internationally recognised Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS).

Dubai-based Majid Al Futtaim Group, have been at the forefront of tourism destinations and ground-breaking retail projects for over a decade. Their latest mall, the Bahrain City Centre, first opened its doors in September 2008 and has proved a massive hit with international and GCC visitors to Bahrain.

Craig Hart, Vice President, MAF Leisure, said, "From the outset, this project was always going to be something very special for Bahrain and for the rest of the Gulf. Bahrain City Centre has already proved to be a tremendous success and will continue to be a major force in the local economy."
