Park with the best water ride selection

Water coasters, river rapids, log flumes, splash battles, shoot the chutes, etc.

I'd probably say Phantasialand from the parks I've visited. River Quest is my favorite river rapid and Chiapas my favorite log flume. It is quality over quantity.

Runner up is Europa-Park because of the big selection of water rides. Poseidon, Atlantica SuperSplash, log flume, river rapid and splash battle. None really stands out but they range from decent to very good.
 
It's an obvious answer, but Islands of Adventure has a pretty strong claim to it. Dudley-Do-Right and Popeye and Bluto are arguably the best in their category in the world, and Jurassic Park is very, very good too; there aren't many water rides with drops that big and extensive theming.
 
On paper, Thorpe has a good lineup of water rides: Depth Charge, Tidal Wave, Storm Surge, Loggers Leap and Rumba Rapids.

However I would say I agree with ThomVD and go with Phantasialand for quality.
 
For me that title would go to Mirabilandia. They have practically everything - rapids, log flume, spillwater, splash battle and a water coaster. Sure, none of them (apart from DiVertical) are of such quality as rides in Phantasialand, but you can't deny their selection being bad.
 
For me it's ioa.

I don't normally like water rides but all three there are fantastic with regards to theming and how wet you get.
 
Islands of Adventure is one of my favorite parks, and as a lot of people have been saying, Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls is my favorite water ride. Jurassic Park River Adventure also has great theming.
 
I would say, of the parks I've been to, it's definitely Islands of Adventure. It has my favorite rapid, shoot the chutes, and log flume. They are amazingly themed as well as having great drops.

Agreed about the ones at PWM.

Phantasialand and IoA are definitely the best, but ones that haven't been mentioned are:

Port Aventura: Flume and Shoot the chutes are very good and the rapids is quite good.
Parc Asterix: Same as the above, except the rapids kind of sucks.
Walibi Holland: Rapids is really unique and they let you sit backwards on the flume <3.
Liseberg: Flume Ride is the closest I'll get to SFMM's Log Jammer :cry: . Rapids was quite exciting.
Knott's Berry Farm
Dorney Park: OMG!!! The insane drenching of that rapids <<<<<<3
Sea world San Diego

Both the USA disney's as a whole have a good water ride selection.

For me, parks need to have at least two above-average water rides to have successful collection. But just one okay one and tons of **** doesn't do it for me *cough* Thorpe *cough*.
 
I've only done water ride at Thorpe I'd have to say these guys they have a lot more potential in there water rides.
 
Portavetura, the slash battle is amazing, the rapids are good, tutuki splash is rather good to and the log flume is excellent.
 
I've going to go out on a limb and say Busch Gardens Tampa. It's not got the best ones of any category, nor the most, but it's a pleasing, fun line up that compliments the coasters well.

Obviously IOA as well but sometimes it can be a bit annoying when you're completely soaked on an overcast day.
 
PortAventura hands down for me. Nothing better than a late night ride on Silver River Flume after a lovely chilled San Miguel, it also has a massive final drop for a flume! Other than that the other water rides are very high quality and great fun!
 
Kings Dominion had a nice lineup at one time. Diamond Falls, White Water Canyon, The Log Flume, and The Haunted River were all there at the same time I do believe. I could be wrong, but I thought there was a point and time when all of those were operating at the same time. Damn I miss The Haunted River.
 
Before Pilgrim's Plunge was removed the water ride selection at Holiday World was pretty good. Frightful Falls and Roaring Rapids were fun little rides.
 
2 parks with a good quantity of water rides that haven't been mentioned are, Terra Mitica and Hansa Park.
 
IOA and PA have a great lineup.

IOA has Jurassic Park: River Adventure (which is fab), Dudley Do Right's Ripsaw Falls (which is totally amazing) and Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges (which is one of the best reapids around). Not to forget One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish (you do get wet and it involves water and is ridiculously fun, I will admit).

PortAventura has Siler River Flume (great flume ride with a very impressive final drop), Tutuki Splash (always one of my favourite Spillwater's, except the chewing gum tunnel. Bluergh), Grand Canyon Rapids (short rapids, but fun) and finally their new Angkor Ride (splash battle).
