THIS MONTH’S COVER SHOT: Serpent’s Surprise at Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi is the first Rattler MEGAtube slide from WhiteWater. The leading waterpark supplier installed 12 of the park’s 14 slides, in addition to the world’s largest FlowBarrel wave simulator, two AquaPlay interactive playgrounds, a lazy river, extreme river and SplashQuest interactive treasure hunt. Situated at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld is a sister facility to Ferrari World and one of the most expensive new waterpark openings of all time. See page 20 for more.
