The Yas Island water park — scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2012 — will have an Emirati theme and is expected to be one of world's most "advanced" water parks, officials have said.
The water park will be based on a tale of “The Lost Pearl” following the adventures of a young Emirati girl in search of an exquisite pearl which brought prosperity to the pearl divers in her village.
The story will take guests through more than 40 rides, slides and attractions, including a pearl-diving show demonstrating traditional Emirati heritage.

“The water park on Yas Island will be one of the most advanced anywhere in the world, with many unique rides, which will excite every member of the family,” said Mike Oswald, park manager.
“The story told throughout the water park remains true to Emirati traditions and heritage, while bringing the latest in design and innovation to the heart of Abu Dhabi’s thriving Yas Island.”
The water park, which is being developed by Aldar Properties and will be operated by Farah Leisure Parks Management, spreads across more than 15 hectares featuring restaurants, shops and interactive games.
Currently under construction, the water park is located adjacent to Ferrari World Abu Dhabi on Yas Island.
