A script text of "Roller Soaker" is seen in pink lettering curving from bottom left to top right within a oval frame. The text runs along a blue track, with water being sprayed by two Hershey Chocolate characters, a Hershey kiss and Hershey chocolate bar.
Pictured is one of the Roller Soaker cars traversing the suspended track's layout. Below people observe the track hanging overhead, with a water geyser spraying water at the ride's car. The roller coaster's station is featured in the background.

Roller Soaker was a suspended roller coaster at Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania, United States. Manufactured by Setpoint Inc., the roller coaster was announced on August 8, 2001, and opened to the public on May 11, 2002. The Roller Soaker was located in the Boardwalk section at the park and cost $7.5 million to $8 million to construct. In December 2012, Hersheypark announced that the Roller Soaker would be removed to make way for new water attractions in 2013. The roller coaster's station was reused by Breakers Edge Water Coaster, a water coaster added in 2018.

The Roller Soaker was the second Swing Thing model to be built by Setpoint Inc., following the Flying Super Saturator at Carowinds. The roller coaster reached a maximum height of 70 feet (21 m), with a maximum speed of 20.5 miles per hour (33.0 km/h), and a total track length of 1,300 feet (400 m). The encompassing section of the Roller Soaker featured various interactive water elements, such as water sprayers as well as geysers and fountains. Upon opening, the roller coaster received generally positive reviews.
