Details revealed for Dubai giant water slide

The wait is almost over for those eager to try out Dubai's latest attraction, City Slide – a 500-metre inflatable water-flume thrill ride.

Adventure seekers will be able to whizz down the slides at Dubai Autodrome on September 25 and 26, propelled by jets of soapy water as they try to keep their balance on inflatable rubber rings.

The fun does not stop there.

"As well as the two waterslides, Du Live City Slide will also have water fights, the Aqua Ride, a DJ arena and live music from regional artists,” said Uttam Kumar, managing director of Tamquest Entertainment.

Tickets for entry to the event and a two-hour slide session are Dh170. Entry alone is Dh50. Children younger than 5 enter free but are not allowed to slide.

Slide time slots are available between 11am and 11pm, subject to availability.
