Aquaticar takes passengers underwater, powered by bubbles
Text
The track-based attraction began operating in April, before this month’s coverage.
Two passengers ride underwater while their upper bodies remain inside an air-filled canopy. Sub Sea Systems has turned that unusual journey into an operating attraction called Aquaticar.
The manufacturer describes a system where passing vehicles trigger air releases beneath the track, using bubbles for propulsion. This requires dedicated infrastructure, rather than giving a personal car the ability to dive anywhere.
New Atlas reported on November 12 that the first installation began operating at Saudi Arabia’s Aquarabia water park in April 2026. The recent article describes an existing ride, not a newly opened attraction.
The manufacturer outlines backup air supplies and communications. Those descriptions do not replace an assessment of a particular installation’s operating safety. The experience moves a passenger ride beneath the surface; it does not create an everyday underwater car.
