Qatar has opened it's first Aqua Park, inaugurated by HE the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassi this Wednesday, it promises to be great fun even though it is not completed. As reported by Gulf-times, a 1,500sq m pool area will serve children under-10. Water slides range from 14m to 20m in height. They include four main slides.
Another nifty feature at the park is boomerango, a tube ride where people accelerate down a steep chute before travelling high up the opposite wall, experiencing momentary weightlessness, before sliding back down up and over a hump and finishing in a splash pool.
Adjacent to the aqua park will be a 300,000sq m resort as well as a shopping complex, currently being built and is expected to be completed by June 2011.
The park will be open from 10am-10pm seven days a week. Fridays are earmarked for families. Tuesdays are set aside for women. Entry per person is QR100 and allows unlimited access to rides. For a family of six, a promotional rate of QR400 is also being offered.
Aqua Park Qatar is located 16km from the Industrial Area roundabout on Salwa Road.
