The only other SetPoint water play coaster is the Super Saturator at my home park, Carowinds, and it is very similar to Roller Soaker. I can tell you this: If you are expecting a kiddie ride you are in for a suprise. The ride is pretty fun, especially going backwards, but the water effects are awesome. I can tell you right now: if you ride this in street clothes you will be miserable for the rest of the day. Change into a swimsuit, and if you can't, wear a poncho. You will be soaked through completely down to your skin. It really is that wet.

Isn't the "Hydra Fighter II" at Emereled Point in Greensboro, a set point?

If not does anyone know who made it?

-----------------

Hydra Fighter II was the prototype. Roller Soaker is going to be twice as good as Super Sturator, especially with the tunnel and that cool layout.

Well, the structure is done, and 1 car is on the track, but the plumbing needs to start, and the electrical work is far from over, but it sure looks nice.

Super Saturator was the first Setpoint "liquid swing thing" to be built, and it opened in 2000. Hydra Fighter II was built in 2001, and was manufactured by Caripro.

Hey ColumbusCoaster.... about your sig.... Everclear stole that from Pearl Jam ("She holds the hand that holds her down..." from Daughter). Good quote at any rate.

While I was one of those keeping my fingers crossed for that long-rumored B&M speed coaster, I think that Roller Soaker is just about perfect for Hershey. Its nice to see a coaster built for the sake of being just plain fun!

Having also ridden the Super Saturator, I second StarCoasters post. It IS a lot of fun, and you WILL get wet. No dodging it or getting lucky like a lot of tube rides.
