History

Velocity Slide was introduced as part of Yas Waterworld’s vision to create a world class waterpark that blends Emirati themes with cutting edge attractions. From its inception, the slide was designed to push the boundaries of speed and vertical drop.

Engineers focused on gravity driven motion, eliminating propulsion systems to rely purely on height and angle. This design approach helped establish Velocity Slide as one of the fastest body slides ever built.

Since opening, Velocity Slide Abu Dhabi has become a signature attraction, drawing thrill seekers from around the world and reinforcing Yas Waterworld’s reputation for record breaking experiences.
