Ice Land waterpark set to open in UAE
POSTED 26 Feb 2010 . BY Tim Nash
A waterpark claimed to be the largest in the Middle East is scheduled to open this April in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.

The Ice Land Water Park is the first element to open as part of the 120acre family entertainment destination, WOW RAK.

Located 80km north of Dubai, WOW RAK will also boast an amusement park, shopping mall and resort facilities when complete.

Developed BY Polo Amusement Park as a joint venture with the local authorities of the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, the 110,000sq m waterpark is themed around penguins and is said to have been inspired by global warming.

As well as a variety of waterslides, the developers claim the park offers the world's largest manmade waterfall and the world's largest rain dance pool as well as aqua soccer, a snorkelling pool, an arctic wave pool and a kids cove. There is also a food court catering for 650 covers.

The park has the capacity for up to 15,000 guests per day.
