I saw pictures of the waterpark and the women were in regular bathing suites with no hair cover? Is there special exception for non-Muslim tourists or something?

That's where you're wrong. Majority of Dubai is no longer just Arabics but there are many tourists that come and visit. If United Arab Emirates was ruled under Islamic law, then it would be another Iran. The things is though, Dubai is turning more into a place for rich people to come and visit. It even has a powerful economy. U.A.E is just a prime example that not all muslim countries are bad. Maybe people need to stop being so stereotypical on this issue and they would see that Dubai is one of the best places to come and visit on vacation.

Dubai has a very large number of foreigners working there and their law is tolerant of other people's beliefs and practices. While the natives are expected to adhere to local Islamic dress codes, they're not required to by law, and Western dress is becoming common. People from other countries adhere to their own dress codes and no fuss is made as long as it's not actually indecent. I'd guess that the water park is mostly frequented by tourists - tourism and sports are a major part of their economy.
