New: Salalah Water Park Oman.
The first water theme park of Oman is under construction near Salalah Festival area (near new Salalah Airport). This is really nice news for the visitors and residents of Oman and particularly that of Salalah.
As per Oman Observer, Sayyid Mohammed bin Sultan al Busaidy, Minister of State and Governor of Dhofar, signed the agreement on 15th Nov 2014 for the construction of the water park in Salalah. The total cost of the project is OMR 2.6 million.
As per the Ministry of Information, Salalah Water Theme Park will be spread over a total area of 35,000 square meters and would have a capacity to accommodate 500 people every day. There will be a wide range of water sports and games so that the visitors can spend a whole day along with family and friends.
There will be a water house pool, wave pool, kids’ pool, lazy river and a spa pool. Water house pool and kid’s pool would have an area of 1,975 square metres. These facilities lie in the east of the park and are surrounded by a 330-metre long lazy river. Located in the middle of the park, the wave pool would be spread over 3,246 square meters. The wave pool would be biggest pool in park. Spa pool would have an area of 1,240 square meters. It lies in the north-west of the park. The park would have race slides, high-speed slide, variable high-speed slide, combination slide, space bowl slide, boomerang slide and water house slide.
Salalah water park is being developed by China Railway.
We all hope that the construction of Salalah Water Theme Park project gets completed soon and we enjoy the water house pool, wave pool, lazy river and many other attractions in Salalah.

5 big announcements from LEGOLAND Florida today.
LEGOLAND Beach Retreat – opening mid-2017
This whimsically themed vacation resort combines the fun of surf, sand and sun with the creativity of LEGO® on a picturesque site next to Lake Dexter, adjacent to the theme park. Distinguished by a colorful LEGO lighthouse, the village-style, lakefront resort will feature 83 single-story duplex units, offering 166 separate accommodations that sleep up to five.
This ride is going to be so cool for kids. After learning the "moves" they will ride the dark ride and use simple gestures to "fight" the bad guys using their new ninja skills. Like a shooting ride but with no hardware required for the guest.
