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!
Master Blaster slides
are best described as "uphill water roller coasters".
Riders can sit in either a single or double ring and are propelled
uphill by high-powered water jets. The Master Blaster rides include:
White Water Wadi, Jebel Lookout, Wadi Leap, Hos'N Hurler, Falaj
Fury, Wadi Twister, Wadi Basher and Flood River Flyer.
Ring Rides
Ring Rides are downhill gravity slides. Riders sit in either a single
or double ring and enjoy a fun, fast ride to the bottom of the slide.
The Ring Rides include Tumble Falls, Falcon Fury, Rushing Rapids,
Thunder Rapids, Tunnel of Doom.
Falcon Fury - A short
but by no means sweet 58 metres ring ride.
Tunnel of Doom - This
underground ride is longer and faster than any ride of its kind.
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!
Experience the exhilaration of weightlessness
on the Jumeirah Sceirah, a speed slide that hurtles you at speeds
of up to 80 kms per hour! It's the tallest and fastest free-fall
speed slide outside North America, cascading a breathtaking 33 metres.
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. |
