What about those 4 slides on the left of the park between the Aqua Racers/Constrictor? I thought they were original slides?

That used to be White Water Mountain and the structure at the top of the hill was a mountain/volcano. And then in 2007 it was all demolished and replaced by what is there today (River Rapids). Same style of slides, but the originals were replaced.

New versus old.

The old slides were four open air slides.

Their replacements were 2x open air and 2x enclosed slides from Whitewater West.

When did the plunge move on to SWR?

December 2005 was when the left side opened as the mirrored version.

i'm curious whether both mammoth are older than the rest or if only one is?

Buccaneer Bay (Wet 'n' Wild Junior) opened in September 2005, so if the water play structure is still the original, then it would be slightly older than the left side. But that still makes the ride side of Mammoth Falls the oldest fiberglass in the park.
