Owners of Atlantis, The Palm to unveil new features at Aquaventure waterpark in Dubai
POSTED 07 Jun 2013 . BY Tom Anstey
Kerzner International – the owners of Dubai-based hotel and resort Atlantis, The Palm - is set to unveil a number of world firsts at its new waterpark development.

Aquaventure is already the biggest waterpark in the region and Kerzner will be unveiling the 40-metre high Tower of Poseidon and the longest river ride in the Middle East measuring 2.3km (1.4 miles).

The park will also include the world's largest diameter slide, the world's first vertical family ride and the first double slide within a slide experience, allowing tubers to see others sliding above them.

The waterpark will also be home to the longest zip line in the Middle East - also the first to be integrated into a waterpark tower.

The development on the hotel and resort is scheduled to be completed in August 2013 when it will be opened to the public.
