Why operators choose wakesys over Roller
Real reasons from real park operators who made the switch.
Setup in hours, not weeks
Roller implementations can take weeks with consultants. wakesys gets you live in a single day.
Free for all of 2026
No upfront costs, no per-transaction fees. Try everything risk-free while Roller charges from day one.
Actually mobile-first
Our booking flow was designed for thumbs, not mice. 60 seconds from browse to booked on any phone.
Pre-arrival waivers that work
Guests sign waivers before they arrive. Groups share claim links. No more waiver queues on arrival day.
