Guests at Aquarabia can now settle into a two-person vehicle and follow a track that drops them completely beneath the surface for several minutes. Aquaticar, the ride that opened this spring at the large water park outside Riyadh, uses ordinary air bubbles to push each car forward while a clear canopy keeps riders dry from the mid-chest up. Their legs sit in the water the whole time, so the lower half of the body feels the temperature and movement of the pool while the upper half stays in fresh air that is constantly refreshed from pipes under the track.
