My son is visiting at near the end of the month, he is nearly 9 (god knows where the time has gone though)

Can anyone tell me (again) which is the best waterpark for such an age?

WILD WADI, WILD WADI, WILD WADI.

I've got the Entertainer, so will dig out the relevant page for you. Also Lisa knows the GM, and gets free passes, so I'll ask tonight.

I would have thought the newer ones would likely be better, no? Having said that, I have only been to Atlantis so far, and it was certainly large and pretty good fun, but planning to go to Yas this weekend as we got some free tickets last weekend from a hotel stay.

I'd guess Yas, I've only been to WW and Atlantis tho, Yas looks great from outside.

O/T, Stu, who looked after your 964? Remember you saying you had a good guy. A mate has just imported and registered a 993 C2 and needs someone he can trust, had a bad experience with ARM with his Cayenne Turbo

Having been to every water park within 100 miles (dreamland in UAQ anyone??) lol
I would say that Atlantis takes the win as far as I'm concerned.... Wadi is OK but Aquaventure is just more enjoyable somehow.

And I can't believe he's nearly 9 Stu......I've been on PH waaaaay too long!

Yas by a long way IMO.

All though you can get a beer at dreamland and do the Barracuda run on the way back. beer

I think, technically, I am still barred from there.

I'm bloody lucky to still be alive after going there... came down their long (4 abreast) slide and somehow ended up entering the water at the bottom head-first.
Being only about 1/2m deep I cracked my head into the bottom of the pool at full slide speed/force, blacked out for a second or two and wasn't right for a couple of days...... thankfully no cracked skull but it certainly made me a lot more wary.

I do like Aquaventure at the Atlantis, but have heard Yas is supposed to be brilliant.

Yas was OK, for me it's the 2nd best here but the VIP cabanas are not as good as Aquaventure and whilst we have spent many a full day at AQV we were bored and ready to leave Yas by 4pm.....

That's interesting to hear. Think Aquaventure still do the UAE resident deal for 165 dhs too.

Usually amazing fake boobies on show at Aquaventure which has to be taken into consideration...
