Im going with my family.. mom and aunt (50's)
which one has more rides for older people?|||I am assuming that you mean the Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in New Jersey, since that's the closest one in the area to Splish Splash (which is in New York). If this is not the park that you are referring to, please feel free to e-mail me directly.

Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is one of the "smaller" water parks in terms of the number of attractions it has. Yes, it has some water slides, what good water park doesn't, but there is not really that much to do there.

It's attractions include:
Bada Bing, Bada Bang, Bada Boom! which consists of three slides that go down five stories at approximately 20 miles per hour. It's definately one of the faster slides at the park. With three different slides, each ride is slightly different, meaning that essentially you can have three different rides out of this single attraction, so you may want to ride it more than once.

Blue Lagoon is Six Flag's Hurricane Harbor's wave pool. It's like a giant swimming pool where waves of 2-5 feet in height come across on a timer. It's a great way to relax in an inner tube and cool off on a hot day.

Boreas, Eurus, Zephyrus, and Nortus is another series of four slides put into a single attraction. Again, if you ride all four, you can essentially experience four different attractions as the drops, twists, and turns are very different on each slide. It's got some good drops on it, which makes it one of the medium slides at the park.

Cannonball, Wahini, and Jurahnimo Falls are the three most intense slides in the park. Again, each slide is slightly different so you have to ride all three to experience the "full rider experience" of riding these slides. These are the most extreme slides in the park, they are body slides with straight down drops. If you are brave enough to go on them, a word of advice: don't wear a bikini, bikini tops flip up really easily on these slides.

Discovery Bay is the children's play ground at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, all though adults can play along as well. It's a "get wet" playground that you might compare to a giant treehouse/climbing play area filled with water. Sort of a combination of rope climbing nets and a McDonalds play place only larger and with lots of water.

Hurricane Mountain is a slide that gives you two different experiences. On one experience you ride by yourself on an inner tube, on the other you ride double with another person on a two person tobaggan. The ride experience is very different on a two person tobaggan then a one person ride, so if you have a chance to ride it both solo and double, you should do it!

Taak It Eez Ee Creek is the "lazy river" at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. You float around in an inner tube (you must remain in the inner tube) in a moving "river" that circles the park. A great chance to kick back on top of a tube and get a tan.

Reef Runner and the Big Bambu are the two family slides that you ride with other people. They are fun slides for the entire family, and each slide is different, so you have to ride both slides to experience the full experience of these slides.

I wouldn't recommend the body slides that drop straight down for older people, as they are pretty intense.

Splish Splash on the other hand, has more to do then Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. There are lots of slides for "thrill seekers" like Dr Von Dark's Tunnel Of Terror, Alien Invasion, Abyss, Barrier Reef, Cliff Diver, Dragon's Den, Giant Twister, Hollywood Stunt Ride, Mammoth River, Max Trax, Shotgun Falls, Splash Landing,

In addition they also have a lazy river, a Soak City bubbling geyser area, a wave pool called Surf City, an enjoyable bird show (a great chance to take a break from the water attractions), and a bunch of kids attractions including playgrounds and slides.

In terms of attractions that you can all ride together, Splish Splash has lots of "cool paced" family slides where multiple people ride together. You guys would definately have a better time at Splish Splash then Six Flags Hurricane Harbor.
