        Roller Soaker promises both riders and spectators a truly
one-of-a kind, drenching water experience. "My friends all
said it was so fitting that I won this contest," said Clouser.
"I just love amusement parks and I am a HERSHEYPARK Season
Pass Holder." Originally from Perry County, Pennsylvania, Clouser
now resides in Elizabethtown and works for an organization that
specializes in the rehabilitation of adults who sustained
traumatic brain injuries.

Roller Soaker is the ultimate aerial water experience featuring
water squirt guns, water sprayers, and spurting geysers.
Each rider will be able to actually dump up to four gallons of
water on spectators below, whenever they choose, while the the
spectators can direct huge water sprayers toward the riders, offering
a drenching interaction for everyone. Each time guests step in line,
they will have a unique ride ezperience. The ride will be themed
with the famous Hershey'sProduct Characters, adding to the fun by
greeting guests approaching the ride. One of the other unique
aspects is the interaction of the ride w/ the riders on Canyon
River Rapids, another famous HERSHEYPARK water attraction.

The new coaster features nine suspended cars that travel on
1,300 feet of tubular track and can each carry four passengers;
riders can ride facing forward or backward. The ride features a
70 foot lift hill and travels approximately 50 feet above the ground
as it twists sideways offering a free-floating sensation for riders. Maximum speed for the ride is 30 feet per second. HERSHEYPARK will debut the new water coaster for its 96th season, opening in May, 2002
