Theme of the Park Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi, the first large-scale waterpark to be built in the UAE capital, pays homage to Emirati culture and the country’s pearl diving heritage in its theme and design, balancing an incredible and diverse ride experience alongside a truly immersive and unique story with historical roots. The theme of Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi is based around an original story about “Dana”, a young Emirati girl on a quest for the legendary pearl that had once brought prosperity to her village. All rides, slides and attractions at the park follow the adventures of Dana — the story is brought to life in a variety of ways, from the colourful characters that greet visitors on their entry to the park, to the rides, slides and attractions that are all iconic extensions of the story characters and their personalities. Yas Waterworld remains true to its theme in other ways too — the park’s main restaurants, Dana’s Diner and Chubby’s Kitchen, bring to life the story of the lost pearl through its lively and themed interiors. The restaurants offer a selection of popular dishes and drinks in a spread that will appeal to all visitors. Smaller outlets, such as Salma’s Snack Shack and Skinny’s Frozen Treats, provide refreshing snacks from frozen yogurt to fresh fruits. Together the eateries have a diverse offering that can fuel a full day of fun and
