I've seen people in the water and on rides with their tee shirts on.

I use my rash-guard shirt that I have for body boarding. Works great! I use it in the pool at the hotel as well.

Certain rides at the waterparks require that you take your shirt off. It really depends on the Slide Op at the top of the slide. however you are ALWAYS welcome to wear your shirt on the way up and hold it in your hands on the way down!

Rash guards are the way to go. I've never been asked to take my rashguard off for any water-slide / water ride. You can even buy one at wal-mart pretty cheap. Can get a surfing rash guard or the under armor type. They are much more comfortable than a wet t-shirt and won't chaff you like wet cotton.
I wear mine almost all the time when doing any water activity. Keeps me from roasting my back and shoulders and makes it easy to just apply sunscreen to arms legs and face. Plus I usually wear a hat.

Bring some footwear (pool shoes, sandals etc) for waiting in line. Some of the queing areas at Blizard Beach are like walking on hot coals.

i may buy 1 of these surfer vest things when i go this september,i always burn badly on my back and shoulders when im queueing for slides no matter what factor sun cream i put on.
i have one question.
i have long hair,but it isnt quite long enough to tie back but long enough to be annoying when its wet, if ya get my drift.
my question is are you allowed to wear things such as bandanas on the slides in the water parks,its the only way i can keep my hair back.

You can get rash guards like these at most sport shops(even here in Maine!!!), or as a previous poster said, Wal Mart.

A word to the wise...
I've just returned from a small vacation in Spain and whilst I was out there burnt my back and chest pretty badly (although, I have had worse...namely falling alseep for three hours in Typhoon Lagoon back in 2001!...ouch!).
Anyway, long story short, we made a day of it at the local water/slide park and, to be safe, I decided to wear a t-shirt. Just you're standard, plain white, cotton t-shirt and, despite feeling like a small child - I'm 24 - it was actually very comfortable.
The real problem came with the slides as the t-shirt prevented me from actually doing any sliding! In fact, on more than one occasion I stopped altogether and had to actually 'swim' down the slide...in front of the queue area!
I don't know whether this just boils down to quality - Aqualand has nothing on TL or BB - but it might be worth considering. Spoiled what would have been a very fun day for me... although I appreicate the need for strong factors. It's just not a vacation if I don't come home salmon pink!!!
