For this Arabic-themed water park in Dubai, Atkins provided architecture, civil and structural engineering; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering; and construction supervision services. Themes that have local resonance are essential for leisure projects, but successful attractions—such as Wild Wadi Aqua Park—also provide escape, thrills, and fun.
Atkins· interpretation of the legend of Sinbad helped it win a World Water Park Association's Industry Innovation Award for Outstanding Design and Theme. With 16 interconnected rides and about roughly 1.5 miles of waterways, some of which flow uphill, the park is home to the longest water ride in the world, designed by Atkins.
