We had a fun time riding the Original Wisconsin Ducks. They weighed something crazy like 7 or 8 tons but could navigate turns and hills pretty well. The driver told corny jokes the whole time.

We also saw the Tommy Bartlett Ski, Sky, & Stage Show which was okay but didn't have enough waterskiing action - half of it was jugglers and random Vegas-type acts.
Lower left - some dude with a big head sat in front of us right before the show started. Argh.
Our kids are not the strongest swimmers yet so we couldn't take full advantage of the waterpark action. Adrienne was the biggest daredevil. She went on one of the big ones at Mt. Olympus, but stood in line for an eternity. Good thing they had just as much fun at the little waterslide at our hotel:
And just for kicks, I'll end with this goofy pic of Z. Must have been a bumpy landing.

So there must be two types of Dells vacations -- one is hitting tourist attractions, which we sort of did (there were many more we chose not to do or didn't have the time/money to do), and the other I expect is staying at a true resort where you have little need to drive around. We may have to try the latter next time around.
Zach really loved the water slides (great for him, a little nerve wracking for us to make sure the little guy kept his head above water)
I agree with you the Dells have gotten to touristy. We went a couple of years ago with the boys just for the day. We stayed in Lansing got up early and drove there and then back to Lansing for the night. Our favorite part of the day was the boat ride too. We did mini golf and go carts and stayed away from the amusement parks.
