Roller Coaster Hippo is a race board game published in 1988 by the German games company Ravensburger. Players advance around the board primarily through die rolls, but progress is also tied to a player's willingness and ability to perform party tricks called for during play, blending the standard race game format with an element of physical party performance. Reviewing it for Games International in June 1990, John Harrington rated the game eight out of ten, praising its light party appeal while questioning its commercial prospects outside settings such as holiday camps, where its mix of chance based movement and playful physical challenges suited a group audience looking for informal entertainment.
