| Park | Attraction | Mode | No. riders | Fun rating |
| The Beach | Banzai | Twin body slides | One, but you race side by side | Hill, dip, hill; Great for squeals 'n races |
| | Hidden Rapids | Inner tubes | Two per tube; two slides for family racers | Straight down with twisting flumes and pools of swirling water that sometimes trap sliders; great for team effort getting "untrapped" |
| | Lazy Maimi River | Inner tubes | One, but families can hook tubes together in a chain | Last word in relaxation; lay back and let the river do the rest |
|
| Boomerang Bay at PKI | Tasmanian Typhon | Cloverleaf shaped rafts | Four, and the more weight the higher you go in the tube. Airtime is possible | The sliding part's fun, but crashing out is even more fun; swirling waters in the funnel drive you high up the sides; it's also the park's most popular ride |
| | Snowy River Rampage | Traditional round rafts | Four; more weight in the raft drives you higher up the banked sides of the slide | Great fun and some speed too; not much air time; get the raft spinning for an extra kick |
| | Jackaroo Landing | You walk | Unlimited | Grab a water cannon and shoot people passing by; wait for the whistle and stand under 500 gallons of rushing water; challenge your kids to a water fight; race them on three family slides |
| | Kookaburra Bay | You lounge or wade | Unlimited | The large pool (less than 1-foot deep) has lounge chairs for parents, waterfalls for kids, built in ledges for sunning |
|
| Hurricane Bay at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom | Caribbean Cruise | Inner tubes | Single seaters, but familes can hook up and make a chain on the quarter mile lazy river | It's easy, it's lazy and it has the most fantastic landscaping you've ever seen |
| | Hook's Lagoon | On foot | Unlimited | It's another water fortress with cannons, a 1,000 gallon tipping bucket, bells, whistles and an assortment of slides |
| | Hurricane Bay Wave Pool | On foot, tummy or back | Unlimited | The park bills it as "the largest waves in the Midwest" -- so large that they actually had to tone it down this year. |
|
| Hurricane Hannah's at Geauga Lake | Shark Attack, three twisted tube slides | Inner tubes | Single seaters | At 40-plus feet, the twisted tubes make a favorite racing facility for families |
| | Calypso Creek | Inner tubes | Single seaters | It's your basic lazy river with a slow current; stretch out and tan, or hook tubes together and make a family chain |
|
| Soak City at Cedar Point | Splash Zone | On foot | Unlimited | It's a giant watery jungle gym with facilities for climbing, sliding and shooting water at other guests, plus a 1,000 gallon bucket of water dumping at 3-minute intervals |
| | Zoom Flume | Rafts | Seats up to 4 | At 76 feet high with severa; 90-degree, highly banked turns, you're riding the top of the tube most of the time. |
| | Renegade River | Inner tubes | Single seaters but can hook together | It's a 1,300-foot lazy river, but unlike most it has waves, some of them fairly large. It also has geysers, waterfalls and a few surprises |
|
| Splashin' Safari at Holiday World | ZOOMbabwe | Rafts | Seats up to four | It's 100-plus feet and completely enclosed, so it's pitch black. Lots of screaming here |
| | Otorongo | Rafts | Seats two | Another dark ride, it has two curved slides and one straight, perfect for racing families. |
| | Watubee | Rafts | Seats four | It's a rushing white water river adventure with steeply banked turns and a lot of sudden drops |
| | Zinga | Rafts | Seats four | Another of those trendy slides that end with a giant funnel and a long ride sloshing up the sides of the funnel |
