None of them pique my eventual participation, but as a NJ person, I'd say stay away from Six Flags.
The amusement park is best done on a day when K-12 schools are in session -- then it is fantastic. You can get on as many rides as you want in a day, since the lines are very short. When kids are on summer break, you get on maybe two or three. It is so worth while to go in late May or early June on a weekday.
Obviously, you want to go to the water park when it is hot, so this timing doesn't work out as well. I just did the water park there a week or two ago, and it was kind of fun, but the lines were still a little long for my taste. Everyone who went on that water park trip agreed that as far as water parks go, Mountain Creek is vastly superior. It costs less, lines are shorter, and there are more slides. The only downside is that there is no lazy river, but the lazy river at Six Flags is so jammed with people that you can't enjoy it anyway.
