What is the weight limit for Atlantis Water Park?

Of the park's more than 30 rides and attractions, eight of them are record-breaking, exhilarating water slides. These slides do require that riders be at least 3'11” (1.2m) or taller and weigh 110-297lbs (50-135kgs), but there is a children's area with slides for smaller kids as well.



At the Atlantis Aquaventure water parks (both in The Bahamas and Dubai), there is no single, universal weight limit for all guests, but individual slides and attractions have specific safety restrictions. For most "body slides"—such as the iconic Leap of Faith or The Abyss—there is typically a maximum weight limit of approximately 300 lbs (136 kg) per rider. For multi-person tube rides or "The Current" (the mile-long river), the combined weight for a double tube is usually capped around 400 to 450 lbs (181 to 204 kg). These limits are strictly enforced by lifeguards using subtle pressure-sensor mats at the top of the slides to ensure the ride's braking and water-flow systems function correctly. In 2026, the park also maintains a strict 48-inch (1.22m) height requirement for the more intense thrill slides. Guests who are near the weight or height thresholds are encouraged to visit an Aquaventure Guest Service location for evaluation to avoid being turned away at the top of a tower. Safety is the priority, as the high-speed forces on these slides are engineered for specific weight tolerances to prevent injury.

2. Are there any clothing items that are not allowed at a waterpark? Avoid wearing denim shorts, jeans, or any clothing with metal buttons or zippers as they can become uncomfortable and heavy when wet. Also, avoid wearing any clothing with offensive or inappropriate graphics.

MORE DETAILS

Water shoes or flip-flops are a very good idea. They do allow them on the slides if they don't have any metal on them.

The Design of the Slides Water also plays a part in the design of the rides. Deeper water propels heavier riders along to keep them moving smoothly. Lighter riders get swept up in the water and go about the same speed as the water until they reach the bottom.

Most RV slide outs have a weight capacity of anywhere from 600 to 1500 lbs, and larger RVs may have even higher weight capacities.

You're required to wear swimwear like bikinis, swimsuits, swim shorts, rashguards, or burkinis while in the water. Pack a pair of comfy water shoes to ensure that you don't slip or fall, and you can wear them easily on the slides. Carry an extra set of clothing while visiting Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark.

Atlantis doesn't do “free” well, so by “free” I really mean, you can enter for free, but it's assumed you'll spend money while you are there. Don't expect to access much of the property. Without a Day Pass, you'll likely not be able to get past security to see much of the resort.
