Jumeirah’s Wild Wadi Water Park in Dubai  has revealed details of its new Jumeirah Sceirah water slide which is due to launch on September 4.

Two tandem slides replace the old Jumeirah Sceirah which was dismantled in January.

Guests will make their way up to a height of 32 metres where they will stand on a trapdoor, unable to see what entails below. They will then be released by the trap door, rapidly descending down the 120 metre slide through a tunnel at a speed of over 80 kilometres per hour.

Located between Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Burj Al Arab, Wild Wadi Water Park is in its thirteenth year and has more than 30 rides and attractions.
