Wahooo! a new waterpark for Bahrain

Bahrain has opened its first waterpark in Manama, Wahooo!, spread over 15,000m², with indoor- and outdoor areas.

The tropical island-themed waterpark has more than10 rides and two food and beverage outlets.

Set at a fixed temperature of 30°, Wahooo! features a mix of rides, including the 230-metre Master Blaster Rollercoaster, the four-lane Matt Racer, which shoots visitors down a high-speed tube and a Wave Rider surfing machine, which creates a three metre high static, curling breaker.

Wahooo! also offers a pool that recreates an indoor-beach experience, generating waves nearly one-metre high.

Bridges and footpaths allow visitors, including those in wheelchairs or with pushchairs, to make a full circuit around the waterpark, and restaurant terraces and function rooms are located on site.

Furthermore, Wahooo! provides amenities and services, including prayer rooms, and a retail outlet.

The park operates in a ‘cashless environment’ using an RFID-system, where the preferred amount that a visitor wishes to spend in the waterpark can be loaded onto a wristband at the entrance.
