Recommendations for Branson Missouri in mid-June with kids (young teens)

Going the week of June 17-22 with 14 and 12 year-olds.
Allocating 2 days for Silver Dollar City theme park / water park. The kids love roller coasters, so if ther like the theme park enough we might skip the water park and do 2 days at the theme park.
Allocating 1/2 day for ziplining / ropes courses. Any recommendations?
Allocating 1/2 to 1 day for hiking. Looking for moderate difficulty with possible waterfall(s). Any recommendations?
Would like to do white water rafting but it doesn't appear there is any around there. Any other water activities (other than fishing)?
Any other suggestions? We're not too much into touristy stuff, more interested in outdoor/thrill stuff.

We went a few years back. Kids were 13 and 10. Kids absolutely loved Silver Dollar City. Recommend 2 days. Make sure to go on cave tour. We did water park 3/4 day, went to Table Rock Lake and hung out in water relaxing. Zip lining was fun, seemed like there are several spots. Titanic attraction was cool. My daughter loves horses so Dolly Parton's Stampede was on the list. Overall a good time. Would go back.

The mini golf options are plentiful and enjoyable.
I really enjoyed Ripleys Believe it Or Not but that’s the definition of touristy stuff.
Definitely worth seeing a show or two, most are family friendly.

The indoor climbing place Fritz's is awesome.
Plenty to do for kids yours aged.

If you're into outdoor adventures with your tweens, Silver Dollar City is a blast for coaster enthusiasts, and skipping the water park for more thrill rides sounds like a solid plan. For ziplining and ropes courses, check out local adventure parks like Branson Zipline at Wolfe Mountain, they offer various courses suitable for different ages and skill levels.
When it comes to hiking, you can't go wrong with the trails around Dogwood Canyon Nature Park. They have moderate routes with scenic waterfalls to discover, perfect for a day outdoors. While white water rafting isn't nearby, consider kayaking or paddleboarding on Table Rock Lake for some on-the-water fun.
For more off-the-beaten-path ideas, explore caves like Marvel Cave or take a scenic drive through the Ozark Mountains. You can find here great resorts: https://www.westgateresorts.com/hotels/missouri/branson/. Enjoy your adventure-filled trip!

Top of the Rock. Buy the Trailblazer pass at Silver Dollar City. Well worth it if riding rides. Dogwood Canyon is cool too. That’s Bass Pro country so everything is done with no expense spared
