A simple question... where is the better water park... Wild Wadi or Atlantis?
 
Never been to either and have a few days off, fancy going to one or 't other...

Anyone been to both? Care to compare / contrast?

Cheers!

Wild Wadi is OK this year........... a friend within the Jumeirah organisation tells me that, according to their frequent water quality testing programme, urine levels are almost ten per cent down on 2007...........

Mata Hari apparently loves Dreamland so why not try there and it certainly ain't freezing cold outside. Took my girls boating on Al Safa Park lake at the weekend and it was lovely.

Have been to both, in my opinion Atlantis has the edge

I think Dreamland is the better option when you have small kids...don't think that applies to Auto...plus is much less crowed and cheaper and there is more space to sit, even when all the chairs are taken (which I have never seen) you still have the grass to sit on, where as in WW, when you don't have a chair, there are no alternatives...
Not been to the Aquaventure so no idea about that...
and sitting in a boat fully dressed is a bit different from being wet in swimgear...the wind is very cold...at least I think it is...

I agree. Makes you think if we really are in the desert or not. Read that there are some tough storms hitting stateside as well.

Atlantis is pretty good, I have a voucher here from the Entertainer if you want it.

I got one for both Wadi and Atlantis (thanks!)

So Atlantis may have the edge... I agree it's a bit chilly, but should be just about ok during the day...

Mata - no kids to consider...!

Thanks all!

Atlantis - better rides, and plenty of sunbeds. The missus and in-laws were there on Sunday and said it was quiet, no queues. Said it wasn't too cold unless you were in shade.

The weather wasn't chilly at all for the past 2 days... so I guess not much nipples watch...
