Coal Cracker, Log flume water ride in Hersheypark, Pennsylvania, US.
The Coal Cracker extends over 2,000 feet of water channels, featuring two lift hills and a 49-foot drop at a 35-degree angle.
Arrow Development constructed this water attraction in 1973, establishing it as the longest-operating water ride at Hersheypark.
The name and design of the ride acknowledge Pennsylvania's coal mining industry, which shaped the region's industrial development.
During summer operations, visitors board the 600-pound boats through a revolving turntable system that accommodates up to five riders per vessel.
The ride's water system incorporates two lakes holding 600,000 gallons total, with pumps moving 11,000 gallons per minute during operation.
