The Beach
| 4 | 4 | 3 | Take a chubby friend when riding Aztec Adventure, a water coaster propelled by water jets shooting riders downhill in a two-person raft. It goes a lot faster when loaded with someone a tad overweight. It’s a physics thing. | |

Boomerang Bay at PKI
| 5 | 5 | 4 | Supposedly the water cannons at Jackaroo Landing shoot only as far as the white line around the huge water fortress. Don’t believe it. |
|
Hurricane Bay at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom
| 4 | 3 | 3 | The wave pool’s ferocious waves are going to drive water into your ear and trap it there. Best way to get it out? Lie on your side on the hot concrete with your ear pressed to the ground. |

Hurricane Hannah's at Geauga Lake
| 3 | 2 | 3 | The 100-foot-tall Hurricane Mountain is great fun, but standing on the top platform on a 66-degree day is, well, chilling. Your lips are going to turn shades even Pantone hasn’t heard of. |
|
Soak City at Cedar Point
| 4 | 4 | 4 | The lifeguards aren’t kidding when they say cross your legs at the ankle and keep them crossed on the Speed Slide. |
|
Splashin' Safari at Holiday World
| 5 | 4 | 3 | Going down on a mat on your belly, hold the tip of the mat up for more speed on the 10-lane Jungle Racer. But don’t hold it up too far or the water rush will bang it into your face. |
