The opportunity to blast your way through tube slides, catch a wave in the region's largest wave pool, float down the Paradise River past gushing waterfalls and exploding fountains, or plunge down mega Body Slides, is back on Wednesday 19 March when the Lost Paradise of Dilmun opens its doors for the 2008 season. There will be a soft opening on Wednesday 19 March followed by an official opening on Thursday 20 March.

The 14 rides and attractions are ready and the staff can't wait to fling open the doors and welcome guests to the oasis of fun for everyone right here in Bahrain," said Paul Blunt, General Manager, the Lost Paradise of Dilmun Water Park.

Whatever your age or mood there is something to please everyone at the Lost Paradise of Dilmun. Thrill seekers will enjoy the tumble and spinning effect of the Boomerango and Superbowl, while those with a need for speed can take off on the Speed Slides and Body Slides.

Kids have a whole new world to explore with dancing fountains, a 'wet and wild' Kids' Rain Fortress, as well as a Tot's Pool - perfect for toddlers to enjoy the refreshing water with gentle slides and wading pool.

Families can hit the wild water of the Tylosplash (the park's tallest attraction), splash about in the waves on Dilmun Beach, take a more leisurely trip down the Paradise River, or just relax in the Spa Pool or Oasis Pool.

A day full of fun will cost guests over 1.2m in height BD13; while visitors under 1.2m pay just BD5, a BD3 reduction from 2007.

"The new rates for 2008 offer great value for money as there is so much to keep everyone entertained. With unlimited access to all the rides and attractions, families, kids, and adrenalin seekers will be entertained for hours," continued Paul Blunt.

The Lost Paradise of Dilmun is the perfect place to cool down as the temperature goes up with summer approaching. Whether in or out of the water there are plenty of shady spots to relax and enjoy a great day out. When you are feeling hungry there are eight outlets spread around the park serving refreshing drinks, healthy juices, snacks and BBQ food.

The operating hours for March to May are 10am to 5pm.  The park will open six days a week, and close every Tuesday except on school and public holidays. Come join us at the Lost Paradise of Dilmun, the oasis of fun for everyone.
