Dubai Parks and Resorts, Merlin to build Legoland Water Park

Scheduled to open next year, Legoland Water Park will be a new addition to the wider Legoland Dubai theme park, which is already in development.

Dubai — Dubai Parks and Resorts, in conjunction with UK-based Merlin Entertainments, the world’s second-largest visitor attraction operator and an FTSE 100 company, has unveiled the latest addition to its line-up, Legoland Water Park

Scheduled to open next year, Legoland Water Park will be a new addition to the wider Legoland Dubai theme park, which is already in development.

Aimed at children aged between two to 12, the new Legoland Water Park will feature some of Legoland’s most popular water attractions, including a half-million-gallon wave pool; the popular Build-A-Raft River where guests can design and build their own customised raft; and the interactive Imagination Station, which lets children construct bridges, dams and cities and test their designs against the flow of water.

Raed Al Nuaimi, chief executive officer of Dubai Parks and Resorts, said: “We are committed to offering unforgettable experiences for guests of all ages at Dubai Parks and Resorts. We are therefore very pleased to partner with Merlin Entertainments to bring this unique water park concept to the UAE as an exciting new element to the Legoland Dubai theme park.”

“We look forward to welcoming families to this immersive and interactive attraction, where children can create, build, and learn while having fun. With the addition of the Legoland Water Park to our existing offering, we will now have a destination that boasts six components and over 100 rides and attractions.”

Legoland Dubai, the first Legoland Park in the Middle East, will cover a total of three million sqft made from more than 60 million Lego bricks.

Nick Varney, chief executive officer of Merlin Entertainments, said: “We already have a strong working partnership with Dubai Parks and Resorts and this Legoland Water Park is an exciting and natural extension to our existing Park development here in Dubai. In line with Legoland Dubai, the Legoland Water Park is aimed primarily at families with young children, offering a unique place for them to play and have fun together. The addition of the Legoland Water Park will not only allow families to enjoy the Legoland Dubai experience over a number of days but also help create many more truly memorable experiences of their visit. ”
