This article explores the water slide trap door experience in Dubai.

What is the Slide Trap Door?

Water slide enthusiasts worldwide seek the next level of excitement, and the Atlantis Water Slide Trap Door delivers just that.

These slides have a unique launching mechanism in their designs: the trap door.

As you stand on a platform, a trap door beneath them suddenly opens, taking you into a breathtaking downfall that promises speed and surprise.

The water slide trap door design and the slide’s twists and turns create an unforgettable rider experience.

Aquaventure Dubai boasts the AquaLoop or Poseidon’s Revenge, a trap door water slide that is the world’s most extreme and scariest slide.

Highlights & Features

Here are a few features and how it functions:

• The trapdoor beneath opens as the countdown starts, launching riders from a 20-meter-high platform.
• It has a rapid 30-meter drop at 60 km/hour in a refreshing pool in just three seconds.
• The tube goes through a loop of a 116-meter water slide and goes completely upside down.

Waiting Time

Wait times can vary depending on the day, season, and time of day. Here’s a general estimate:

• Peak Season Wait Times (Weekends, Holidays): During busy periods, expect wait times for the Trap Door to range between 20 to 30 minutes. 

• Off-Peak Wait Times (Weekdays): Weekdays generally see fewer crowds, so the Trap Door wait time might drop to 10 to 20 minutes. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are usually the least crowded days.

• Less Crowded Times (Early Mornings and Evenings): The park tends to be busiest in the afternoon. If you can visit early in the morning (before 11 am) or later in the afternoon (after 4 pm), you might encounter shorter wait times, possibly around 5 to 15 minutes.

Operating Hours

Poseidon’s Revenge operates during the park’s hours, from 9.45 am to 6 pm. 

To make the most of your experience and avoid long wait times, it is recommended that you visit early in the morning when the park opens. 

The Anticipation-Building Launch

You will be standing in a launch chamber, 20 meters (65 feet) above the ground, with your arms crossed and anticipation thrumming through your veins. 

A countdown begins, adding to the nervous excitement.

Suddenly, the floor beneath you vanishes in a trapdoor surprise. This freefall initiation is what sets Poseidon’s Revenge apart.

High Speeds and G-Forces

The freefall accelerates riders to speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour (37 miles per hour) in just 3 seconds.

This rapid acceleration generates thrilling G-forces, pushing riders against the slide.

Launch Technology 

Poseidon’s Revenge utilizes a compressed air-launch system, unlike traditional gravity-powered slides. 

This high-tech approach ensures a consistent and exhilarating acceleration every single ride.

Dual Launch Capsules

The launch chamber features two capsules, allowing you to race a friend or family member down the slide.
