Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Area Majority — Points are awarded for having the most meeples in certain areas like the lazy river at the end of a round.
- Card Drafting — Players can claim cards that offer points or special abilities.
- Dice Rolling — Meeples are rolled down a slide, and their landing position (standing, headstand, planker, flopper) influences their placement and scoring.
- Push Your Luck — Players can choose to stay on certain rides for potential multipliers or additional points, or they risk being pushed off or not scoring as well.
- Set Collection — Players collect various items like rainbow meepsicles, shark plushies, and pirate hats, which contribute to scoring.
- Worker Placement — Mentioned as a core mechanic, though the focus is on the thematic placement of 'vacationers' (meeples) rather than traditional workers.

Quotes (from this video)
- The way that the meeples are standing are going to determine the places they can go on the board.
- So, this is a one to four player worker placement game. However, there's no working going on today. We are on vacation.
- Eight points for orange. And then Nice. Going to go to the changing room, so I get my choice.
- The floppings keep flopping, but you can come to the lazy river. Build a raft.
- I love how amazing board games are.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Arcade cards and two-sided board — Arcade cards provide points and effects; the two board sides change which cards are available.
- Changing room and lazy river options — Flopped Meeples can be moved to a changing room or lazy river for additional scoring opportunities.
- End-of-day scoring and bumping — Meeples can be bumped to the water; end-of-day scoring depends on positions and crowd interactions.
- Meeple placement and activation — Players place Meeples on attractions and then activate all Meeples in a chosen position to resolve actions.
- Photo cards and points — Hidden photo cards are collected for points and occasional powers; some cards award end-game bonuses.
- Pose-based landing and movement — Landing poses on the water slide (standing, planking, headstand, flopped) determine possible actions.
- Rafting and occupancy — Non-flopped Meeples can be placed on rafts; seats fill clockwise and scoring can double if a raft is full.
- Swirly pool (Kids Cove) scoring — Meeples in the swirly pool contribute to points and can yield photo cards at day end.
