Splash in the dark at Yas Waterworld: for women only

Female thrillseekers can make a splash in the dark - thanks to the launch of new weekly Ladies' Nights at Yas Waterworld.

Women-only nights will be held between 8pm and midnight every Thursday from May 16 at Abu Dhabi's waterpark, which has 43 rides, slides and attractions at its 15-acre site.

The decision was made due to high demand for designated ladies-only times, said general manager Mike Oswald.

"Ladies' Night featured prominently in our original operations plan and will go a long way towards ensuring the comfort and ease of the park's more conservative female guests," he added.

Men will not be admitted on Ladies' Night, however, boys aged eight and under will be allowed in with female relatives on production of a valid photo ID.
