Coal Cracker

Coal Cracker is a classic log flume ride located at Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Riders are seated in 12-foot (3.7 m) boats for the three and a half minute ride along a water channel over 2,000-foot (610 m) long.

A second lift carries riders above the Twin Turnpike ride, preparing them for the final 35-degree, 49-foot (15 m) drop.

The Coal Cracker shares space with several newer rides, including the SooperDooperLooper (built in 1977) and the Great Bear (1998).

The Coal Cracker ride is not in operation during winter events at Hersheypark, such as Christmas Candylane.
