Massive indoor theme park to open in UAE

Theme park fans in the UAE are already spoiled for choice with a range of awesome days out on their doorsteps.

Now a massive new adventure hub is being thrown into the mix – and looks brilliant.

Featuring the biggest indoor drop tower in the Middle East, Tridom is launching on July 4 in Manar Mall in Ras Al Kaimah.

The theme park will open at 11am, perfect timing for letting your breakfast settle before you start tipping yourself upside down.

As well as the tallest indoor drop tower, which measures 40ft in height, Tridom also features the UAE’s largest covered play area and is the first of its kind in the Northern Emirates. This will officially open on Thursday July 12.

If you’re not familiar with theme park jargon, a drop tower is a vertical structure enclosed in a gondola, which takes thrill-seekers to the top before releasing them in a rapid free-fall, before hoisting them back up again and bouncing around a bit for good measure.

As well as the drop tower, Tridom will also feature a ferris wheel, dodgems and a Super Spin, which twirls riders in mid-air through 360-degrees. There’s also an Air Racer ride, which gives a realistic flying experience.

Payment for the rides is made through a Powercard system, which is topped up with credit that reduces with each entry swipe.

And in even better news, Tridom is offering Dhs75 in free credit for every Dhs175 credit purchased – which is valid for six months after the last swipe.

It is part of Manar Mall’s massive expansion project and will be operated by Landmark Leisure. The Mall is open seven days a week and is located close to RAK’s city centre.

And while you’re in that neck of the woods, you might as well give the world’s longest zip-line a go at Jebel Jais.

We’re all about the thrills…

Prices vary. Launch Wed Jul 4, opening Thu Jul 12. Manar Mall, Ras Al Kaimah (07 227 0000).
