Shaikh Sultan Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, son of His Majesty Sheikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the King of Bahrain, inaugurated the Middle East’s first ever temperature controlled, indoor/outdoor high rise, high-thrill Wahooo! waterpark at a stunning event last night.

Over 200 guests attended the launch ceremony, which included spectacular performances by aerial acrobats, international ‘flow riders’, fire jugglers and a 'power-pyrotechnics' fireworks show.

“We were truly honoured that Shaikh Sultan Bin Hamad officially commemorated Wahooo!," said Craig Hart, Vice President Majid Al Futtaim Leisure, owners and operators of Wahooo!. "To have such a dignitary at the official launch is an enormous source of pride. Wahooo! is more than a waterpark, Wahooo! has introduced a completely new set of standards for leisure in Bahrain.”

Wahooo! is one of Bahrain’s star leisure attractions and is temperature controlled to a comfortable 30 degrees all year round, ensuring the most comfortable visitor experience no matter what the season.

At Wahooo! there is something for everyone – from those who would like to simply relax in the pools to those who want mild or jaw-dropping aqua action. Spread over 15,000 square metres, Wahooo! is exactly how it sounds – a wave of excitement, a rush of adrenaline and a rollercoaster ride of adventures.
