Yas Island’s three theme parks – Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld and Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi – all won awards at this year’s World Travel Awards (WTA) in the Middle East.

The prestigious gala ceremony took place on April 25. For the third consecutive year, the Ferrari-inspired theme park Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, which is home to the fastest rollercoaster in the world, was named the ‘Middle East’s Leading Theme Park.’

The popular family waterpark Yas Waterworld in Abu Dhabi, which is inspired by the UAE’s pearl diving heritage, picked up the award for the ‘Middle East’s Leading Water Park’.

Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, one of the world’s largest indoor theme parks, was presented with the accolade of being the ‘Middle East’s Leading Tourist Attraction.’
