I like the idea of water slides, but I hate "riding" them (body slides, that is. Tubes are fun). Thanks to more slender build, but they hurt my back (and occasionally draw blood...this is no joke). That combined with water up my nose and splashing in my eyes (did I mention I wear contacts?), I typically pass on the body slides.
I'll do something once, just to do it (like the floor drop slides), but I'd rather be riding a roller coaster.
We had a nice family trip maybe 12 years ago to Chicago with a stop at Six Flags Great America and then ended at the Dells. I got to ride the wood coasters at Mt Olympus, and we had a nice waterpark day at Noah's Ark. I would like to try the Medusa's Slidewheel type of attraction. I haven't tried a tall water slide yet. We do enjoy Holiday World's Splashin' Safari.
I confess I'm a water park chicken! If you're looking for me, don't check the speed slides - I'll be in the lazy river! It's funny because I have no fear of heights on coasters, but add in a water element and I get a bit jittery. I'll do most traditional water slides, rafts, etc. but I don't seek out the high thrill stuff.
I've never been a particularly strong swimmer, so I'm sure there's an underlying fear of the water that holds me back from these extreme slides.

they are just BEGGING for me to crash my car on the parkway at this point
