A fun ride that isnt thrilling at all but you get drenched just waiting for the ride and it feels great when you dump the water on the crowd. The found a good way to keep you occupied while waiting-trying to dodge the water being dumped on you!

I was pleasantly surprised by this ride. Not at all thrilling, it is fun. I rode it in the early evening when the temps of the day had dropped, and the anticipation (and dread) of being blasted with that water in the cool temps were "Oh NO!" moments (followed by "Oh NO, not AGAIN!" On a hot day this would really be a cooling ride. The draw back to the "on a hot day" comment... it may be cooling, but that also means LONG waits. When I rode it, it was a walk on. Would I wait long for it? No. But would I ride it again if it were a walk on or a short wait, yes.

A great way to ride a fun ride and still get wet on those hot summer days. As a warning, there is absolutely no way to avoid getting wet if you are any where near this ride. On the ride, waiting for the ride, or standing underneath it will lead to you probably getting drenched. I tell you what, it was a great feeling to get my revenge by dumping my water on the waiting guests. Big minuses are the horrible capacity and getting very cold because you get drenched waiting for the ride and than still waiting 2 hours before riding.

The wet wont come out. Its fun, except i was wearing normal clothes. im warning you, you WILL get wet. theres the normal water guns, then there are random guests shooting water at you from below. and even if you are on the ground you may get wet if the train goes by over you. the riders can dump water on you from the car. dont go on it if it is a brisk spring or fall day, you will regret it. summer only.

Overall, Roller Soaker is not a terrible ride. The wait is long, and I was annoyed and cold as the water from the other riders splashed me, but once I got on I cheered up slightly. The ride paused momentarily at the lift hill peak, and I grew scared, thinking it was stuck, but it quickly went on. This ride features no visible drops, just curves and tiny, tiny dips. You stay almost perfectly level at 70 feet the whole time. This ride is cool, because it does help cool you off on hot days. You have two seating choices: Sitting foward so you can see where you are going, or sitting backwards. I picked foward, but actually, I shouldve picked backwards, because theres nothing much to this ride. I am shocked that they call it a "rollersoaker" because it is hardly a roller coaster! The ride briefly brakes in the middle, and that slows it down - which is stupid, it was just getting good.

Overall, worth it.

Not really the best of coasters, its more like a water ride. First you wait in line for over two hours getting soaked, and you get freezing cold. When its finaly your turn to ride your freezing cold, and not really in the mood for a coaster. You get on anyway and find out this is really bad for a coaster, but at least you can dump water on people. So Im going under waterfalls people are shooting me with water and I get to the point when Im ready to dump my water. Low and behold it doesnt work! After all that I cant even dump water on anybody. What a ripoff! Yes Im sure I didnt accidentaly pull the lever before that point, or anything like that. It was a ride malfunction, simple as that and it ripped me off!!

The Roller Soaker is a steel suspended roller coaster. It was built in 2002. It was built by Setpoint. It is 70' tall, it is 1,300' long. It travels at speeds of 20 mph. Each car holds 16 gallons of water that can dropped onto riders in line, while water canyons can be used to spray riders. First of it's kind in the USA. It is rerideable, it has a large capacity, and a long duration.

Roller Soaker is a nice ride which is half water coaster and half suspended coaster. Prepare to get wet on this one! Its a nice way to cool off on hot days. I hope to see these at other parks and water parks in the near future.
