THE SCENE: It's a big-budget tourist stop with more than 20 attractions and snazzier technology than the others. Its four sections (Flash Flood Canyon, Slippery Ridge, Pine Valley and Wildwater Lagoon) offer a full day of activities for families, thrill-seekers and low-key sun worshippers. If you can endure the crowds, there's cool water waiting at the end of the long lines. DON'T MISS: The Cliffhanger offers an exhilarating ride and a nine-story drop. Warning: It can be a tad rough on the back. The Dragon's Tail is another thriller that's 250 feet long with three humps. Be prepared to catch air. Also try the Run-A-Way River. Four riders hurdle down a 735-foot course in a raft that takes them through large tunnels. Another fun attraction is Tree House Island. Think Swiss Family Robinson goes aquatic. Look out for the 5,000-gallon bucket of water dumping periodically. It's made for kids, but adults will love it. BRING YOUR WATERPROOF WALLET: The food ain't cheap and even lockers cost $8 (a $1 refund if you return the key). But kudos for the complimentary floats in the wave pool and river attractions. Don't miss the free "Dive-In Movies" projected on a screen visible from the wave pool. They're shown on Friday nights through Aug. 8, featuring family fare like "Spy Kids" and "Spirit."
