Background
Hollyhock and Roll is Discovery Meadow's junior coaster — the former Roller Skater rethemed in 2025 so kids race through the garden on planter-inspired trains.
It is the sixth operating coaster credit when counted with Flying Fox, giving Pre-K and family riders a steel introduction beside Kentucky Flyer without the intensity of Wind Chaser or Lightning Run.
