I went at least twice per summer. It was a fantastic place. Picture a water park that was designed by kids and stoners and then built by adults without any responsible editing. If you go to a Disney/Six Flags type park and say "wouldn't that be fun if I could just...," you could do the "just..." at Traction Park. Bus rides home were for comparing wounds. Alpine Slide rashes usually won, and lasted all summer.
I remember getting my nerve up to dive head first off the higher cliff jump. I didn't look down until I had jumped. I missed hitting another kid by 2 feet that decided to swim across the landing area. Would've been real bad for both of us. My friend wanted to do the cannonball loop every year. It just teased us most of the time since it was only open once when we were there. That one time it was quickly closed when we saw a guy emerge with a broken nose. I was too wimpy to try it, but my friend used to call to see when it would be opened for good.
There are a lot of good reports of the heyday out there. here is one
