Dubai water 'slide' fails to deliver thrills in soaring heat

Visitors to a new Dubai attraction have been left disappointed after it failed to deliver the expected thrills.

Dubai City Slide is a 500m long "slip and slide" but sweltering temperatures and poor water pressure meant that at times the slide was almost completely dry.

Visitors on Friday were asked to leave and were refunded the 170 AED ($46, £30) entry fee.

But despite the problems, some visitors on Saturday remained upbeat.
