Roller Soaker, Steel roller coaster in Hersheypark, United States
Roller Soaker is a steel roller coaster in Hersheypark with cars that carry water for interactive play. The ride reaches speeds around 20 miles per hour on a 1300-foot track with nine cars holding four riders each.
This roller coaster was added to introduce a water-based attraction to the park's collection. It marked a period when the park expanded with hybrid rides combining speed and water play.
The ride creates interactions between passengers and spectators through water cannons placed along the course. Riders and waiting guests become part of a shared water game that shapes the visit.
Bring extra clothes, as water jets and cannons will thoroughly soak everyone during the ride. Wait times vary by day, so check at the park entrance for current conditions.
Each car is equipped with a water tank that riders control themselves. This lets passengers strategically soak spectators waiting in the queue below.
