This one is really fun! What a great idea. We sure hope to see more of this concept at other parks.

Paramount's Carowinds commenced it's 2001 season April 1 with a new, truly family fun ride. For all the attention generated by the envelope-pushing coasters and high-tech dark rides coming online each year, the ride that will have the most far ranging impact on wet folks like us slipped into service relatively quietly.

This is a really one of a kind attraction: it's a water ride, playground, and a swinging coaster. Four people (2 facing forwards, 2 backwards) ride in each car. The ride lasts about a minute as each car swings gently through fountains, geysers and waterfalls all themed with Nick cartoon characters.

This highly interactive attraction involves a large volume of water in jets, in columns, in curtains - everywhere. It looks like a giant water party has broken out. And with the ride appealing equally to rider, shooters, and watchers, the park is anticipating word-of-mouth and hot summer days to make Super Saturator one of the park's most effective attendance drivers ever.

A Coaster where even the Queue is Fun!

The Super Saturator usually has the longest wait of any ride in the park, but the wait itself is fun. Either wear a poncho or clothes that can get wet, because this ride will soak you through to the bone.

The twist is that the riders can dump buckets of water on a passerby or folks waiting in line, and those on the ground have plenty of opportunites to fire back at the riders and each other. No matter what the line, this is a must ride!

You'll be surprised how different the experience is depending upon whether you are facing forward or backward. It seems tame but fun backwards, but facing first into walls of water is a blast!

This would even be more fun if the capacity were higher though. Perhaps evenly spaced, continuously moving seats, (like a ski lift) which go through the array of water hazards would allow for more riders per hour. This attraction was a great addition to one of my all time favorite parks.

They are opening another Interactive Water Coaster at Hershey Park at Hershey, Pennsylvania, in May 2002. This ride will be even bigger with more interactivity than the Carowinds ride.

It's rare to find a ride that doesn't look for fame by just being a record breaker, or by just being a fun ride. This ride is not the fastest, tallest, or any other one of those things, but just all the elements of a fun ride. What a great way to get soaked; and kids and adults both love it.
