wakesys vs Roller

Enterprise features.
Startup simplicity.

Roller is powerful. It's also complex, expensive, and takes weeks to implement. wakesys gives you what you actually need — in hours, not weeks.

Roller was built for enterprise theme parks with enterprise budgets and enterprise IT teams. If you're an activity park, FEC, or attraction without a dedicated tech team, you deserve software that works for you — not against you.

Why Switch

Why operators choose wakesys over Roller

Real reasons from real park operators who made the switch.

Setup in hours, not weeks

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.

No training manual required
