If I understand correctly, Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio makes so much out of the fact of their having quite a few rollercoasters on their premises, making them something of a Mecca for rollercoaster fans. Conversely, Wisconsin Dells happens to make quite a lot(?) on their having among three water-fun parks: *four wave pools; *three Lazy Rivers; *23 tube slides (including six dark slides); *14 body slides; *six mat slides; *two water-play areas; *nine kids' water-play areas; plus *the obvious aggolomerations of coin-operated lockers, deck chairs, changing rooms, food-service areas and gift/souvenir shops. Is there, perhaps, something in the chemistry of the Wisconsin Dells region as may explain why water-fun parks are just so naturally adaptable to the Wisconsin Dells summertime scene, as opposed to, say, rollercoaster-dominated attractions? (Not to knock down the Dells' being home to quite a few go-kart tracks and mini-golf courses as have also won something of a cult following, howbeit not exactly in the same league as the water-fun parks and/or wave pools....)
