The kingdom is set to become home to one of the fastest and most exciting water parks in the region.
And with rides which hurtle you down a 190-metre Masterblaster Rollercoaster there can only be one name for this new phenomenon - Wahooo!
The Wahooo! Waterpark will be making huge waves in more ways than one when it opens this summer as the main leisure attraction at Bahrain City Centre.
Wahooo! is the Middle East's first climate controlled indoor and outdoor aquatic playground covering 15,000 sq/m on two-levels, with high octane rides and thrills promised both indoors and out.
The outdoor area features two major thrill rides - the first is a four-lane mat-racer slide, which shoots you down a 15-metre tall tower with a high-speed tube-enclosed descent.
The second - the highlight of the park - is a spectacular surfing machine, a wave producing sensation that can create a three metre high static, curling breaker. This state-of-the-art water sports pool will enable a perfect on-shore hang ten experience, and skilled users will be able to showcase their surfing talents, wowing the spectators and diners on the surrounding terraces.
But it's not just thrill-seekers who will be well-catered for at Wahooo! The outdoor area also has a number of gentler slides, as well as smaller pools and the surfing machine can also be set to slower speeds to provide the perfect platform for children and adults to practice bodyboarding. For those not wanting any exertion at all, the outdoor area is a little slice of solar heaven, having been placed at the west end of the park to ensure long afternoons of sunshine.
Back under the roof, a large portion of which is translucent to allow for natural lighting, you can choose your personal level of aquatic activity. In addition to the frenetic Masterblaster ride, Wahooo! also features a giant U-shaped Sidewinder that plunges guests down one side and up the other in an oscillating up-and-down tube ride, gradually funnelling riders to the bottom.
Another pool recreates an indoor beach experience, generating waves nearly one metre high. Elsewhere, a huge tipping bucket dumps thousands of litres of water from above, while those who would prefer their water lapping softly underneath them, can float serenely down the lazy river.
Even though the park is yet to open, the name of the waterpark is clearly an appropriate one. A recent competition launched in Bahrain asking people 'What is Wahooo!?' attracted more than 6,000 entries, with many guessing the right answer.
The winner of the contest was Safa Jafar Salman who won gift vouchers worth BD 100 sponsored by Virgin Megastore at Bahrain City Centre.
