Blast Bomb – Thrill-seekers, take note. The Blast Bomb will have you leave your screams up in the air as it twists and plunges you 11 metres to the ground in record time.

Bouncing Blues – Remember the cute fun-loving triplets, The Blues? They will have their own ride, a gliding roundabout attraction which allows the young ones to “fly” as the ride glides in a circular motion. This is not a normal jet ride, so don’t be fooled by the cuteness of these adorable birds.

Pirate Coast – Bumper cars have never been this fun! Board your very own boat-themed dodgems and decide if you want to play the good guy or the villain. In this clash between the Birds and Hogs, the battle will be fierce. Shoot your enemies with an IR beam in front of the car and send them spinning for a few seconds.
Trampoline Universe – Bounce high up into a sky of pure madness on the springy Trampoline Universe. This is one of Qatar’s most extreme trampolines and you can expect to work those muscles as you do a trust fall, play on the foam pit, or do a somersault in the air.

Raft Battle – This ride pays tribute to the journey taken by the birds from Bird Island to Piggy Island in the movie. The rafts are armed with water blaster guns so riders will be happily soaked as they make their way across the high seas.
