If you’re curious about the record-holding rides, slides, and other attractions you have to try on Yas Island, below is a complete list:

Dawwama

Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi has several record-breaking slides and rides on its roster. The first one is Dawwama.

Dawwama holds the world record for the largest six-person tornado water coaster.

On this water ride, you and five other guests sit on a raft and will be launched through a tornado slide like a top.

As your raft gets close to the center, it accelerates until you get into the tunnel for a 20-meter-long slide.

The Dawwama is one of the top water rides in the world all thrill-seekers need to try at least once in their lifetime.

Falcons Falaj

You can also find the world’s longest six-seater water coaster on Yas Island: Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi’s Falcons Falaj.

At this attraction, you and five other guests ride a hydromagnetic-powered raft as you navigate a thrilling watercourse.

Expect plenty of wild drops, turns, and splashes on this high-speed ride.

All these make Falcons Falaj a unique, exciting water ride worthy of being a world record holder attraction.

Bubbles Barrel

The largest surfing sheet wave on the planet is one of the most popular, fun, and exciting attractions on Yas Island.

Bubbles Barrel is an inclined and arched surface of soft rubber matting that gets battered with about 7,000 liters of water a second from 1,200hp pumps. The result is a roaring torrent similar to the waves you’ll see in oceans.

Here, you can try bodyboarding or riding the waves like a surfer.

Whether you’re an experienced or first-time bodyboarder or surfer, you’ll love the thrill of riding the waves on Bubbles Barrel.

Liwa Loop

Liwa Loop holds the record for the first freefall drop waterslide in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

On this waterslide, you’ll step inside a capsule and wait for the floor to disappear. You’ll go straight down the slide at high speed when it opens.

The waterslide also has several loops and turns, all of which can make you shout your lungs out and get your adrenaline pumping.

Bandit Bomber

If you want to go on an aerial tour of Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi, head to Bandit Bomber, the MENA region’s longest suspended roller coaster.

This suspended roller coaster takes you on an aerial ride over the waterpark. Aside from getting amazing views of the aquapark, you can enjoy incredible panoramas of Yas Island and the other parks and attractions while on the ride.

While on the roller coaster, you and the other riders can shoot targets that activate water jets and cannons. You can then engage in interactive water fights with the park guests on the ground.

Bandit Bomber is another fun and exciting ride you shouldn’t miss out on Yas Island.

Formula Rossa

With a top speed of 250 km per hour, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi’s Formula Rossa holds the record for the world’s fastest roller coaster.

Formula Rossa’s track was inspired by Italy’s world-famous Monza F1 Circuit. It is 2.2 km long, making it the world’s sixth longest roller coaster track.

Aside from the extreme speeds, the sudden drops and tricky corners can make your heart skip several times and get your adrenaline rushing as you enjoy the ride.

Flying Aces

This roller coaster is one of the fastest rides in Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and Yas Island. It can reach a speed of 120 km per hour.
