Today’s Manufacturing Series article is about Mason Corporation, a manufacturer of several different kinds of floor scooters and water slides.
Mason Corporation sold one ride to Hersheypark, in 1988 – Rolling Rovers. The company is based in Brentwood, Tennessee, and was established in 1987. The company was incorporated by Dick and Jules Mason. They offer several types of scooters for kids, one of which is the Roller Racer – the model Hersheypark operates.
Rolling Rovers was first placed on the Kissing Tower Hill side of the hollow, near the high bridge and the Amphitheater. There were 18 scooters. In 1996, Rolling Rovers was moved into the lower level of Fender Bender, after the kiddie bumper car ride Mini-Skooters were removed.
Rolling Rovers was retired following that season. It was replaced with a set of SkeeBall games which had been relocated from the Overlook restaurant area.
