Qatar’s largest water park

Meryal Waterpark

Partnering with Qetaifan Projects, WhiteWater created the 280,000+ square meters Meryal Waterpark on Qetaifan Island North. Breaking the world record for the tallest water slide in the world, the park’s Rig 1938 is an incredible 85 meters (260 feet)—just four meters (13 feet) shy of Big Ben. In addition to breaking a world record for the tallest water slide, the Rig 1938 also features the most water slides on a single tower, including an Abyss at 40 meters high.

Rig 1938 contains 12 rides—two placed on each of the tower’s six levels. Because of its record-breaking height, the water slide tower uses three pedestrian elevators to take guests to the tower’s different levels. Using conveyors to bring the ride vehicles up to the water slides, the slides offer a mixture of sensations from multiple oscillations to zero-gravity and extreme Gs and be a global-scale public attraction once completed. Packing 23 features onto its 85-meter (262-foot) structure, the Rig 1938 blends history and technology by recognizing the region’s origins while pushing the boundaries of innovation.
