State-of-the-art roller coaster set to add family appeal to entertainment and adventure mix
Qatar’s biggest waterpark, Meryal, has announced the launch of its new adventure ride: the Alghazal Roller Coaster, blending modern entertainment and traditional themes in one of the region’s fastest rides. Although part of the waterpark, Alghazal is a ‘dry ride’ and will be perfect for guests who prefer to stay in regular attire, said the waterpark.
With a passenger height requirement of 110cm, the Alghazal roller coaster is designed to ensure that most kids, along with the whole family, can enjoy the excitement.
Meryal offers a total of 69 rides, slides, and attractions, with something for every thrill-seeker. The park’s theme celebrates Qatar’s rich history of oil and gas discovery, with motifs and branding seamlessly woven into every aspect of its design, said a statement.
Among its standout features is The Rig 1938, home to two Guinness World Record attempts, including the tallest tower in the world. Visitors can also enjoy the Rapid Refinery, where slides rotate to add an extra dimension of fun, and the Leap of Fate, known for its high-adrenaline rush.
The tube slide complex offers customisable music and lighting effects, while the Distillers Mat Racer Slide provides competitive, timed races. Other attractions, like the Oil Silk Lagoon and Turbulent Tunnel Wave River, are based around immersive aquatic adventures.
Meryal also features four pools and beaches, where guests can soak up the sun and enjoy serene surroundings. The water park aims to provide a complete vacation experience, as well as its fast-paced, highly individual fun rides and themed attractions, the statement concluded. |
