The OR Coast is spectacular - we will be back there again later this summer / fall. Also Columbia Gorge and Crater Lake. Coast in WA is a waste of time.
Amusement Parks? You can do them all kinds of places in the world! Drive hours away to go to an amusement park and spend hours there - waste a day. If they like waterslides they must like water - what better / different than the beaches of OR.
So much beauty to see of all kinds. And, of course, ice cream at Tillamook Cheese Factory.
Places to stay will be tough to get without reservations. I make mine a year in advance for OR Coast so I can stay where I want and not get leftovers. Will you find places in August. You might but do not count on it.
Enjoy!
