Minnow Lagoon is for the littlest ones with a zero-depth entry, mushroomy water features, soaker cannons and milder slides (not in this frame).

This shot shows the big slides. The curvy one on the right is called Over the Falls, a body slide with a 40-inch height minimum. The yellow tube is Surfer Splash (42-inch minimum) with 1- and 2-person tubes, and the red slide is Boomerango, on which two-person tubes leave the tower, go up a ramp, experience a sense of weightlessness before sliding back down.
