Hershey to add an interactive water coaster

Posted | Contributed by jgfama

Hesheypark will introduce a Setpoint Swing Thing with water effects (a la Paramount's Carowinds Super Saturator) with 1,300 feet of tubular track, a 70-foot lift hill and will travel approximately 50 feet above the ground as it twists sideways. Maximum speed is 30 feet per second. Best of all, Hersheypark wants you to name it.

Read all about it on the official Hersheypark site.

Doesn't Hershey have the record for most wet rides now? They do have alot.
I hope a fellow Coaster Buzz Member wins! That would be a great honor! The site says it is a battle between Hershey's Product Characters so a water or chocolate battle might be a good theme. Anyone have any decent ideas besides Hershey Squirts, although a funny name and theme I would hate to have 4 lbs. of hershey squirts dumped on me while waiting in line.

This is a good deal for Hershey. I'm not a great fan of water rides that soak you but my wife is going to love it.
No one has said what area of the park it's going in, ne1 know?

I think if they put the new coaster in Midway America, that would make 4 coasters in at least 500 yards part. THAT WOULD WAY TO CLOSE TOGETHER!
I'm not sure where the station will be located, but the ride will go somewhere in the area behind Tidal Force and Canyon River Rapids.
i would name it splashdown

I still think Hershey Squirt is the best name. Good times.
