Dinghy Slide

Construction
Track is a semi-circular plastic channel with a small amount of water running along it. Boats slide along the track, assisted by the flow of water.

Constraints

 * Maximum track slope - 60°
 * Lift hill maximum slope - 25°
 * Maximum height above ground - 65 feet

Other Information

 * Dinghyreadme.png good water slide requires at least one steep drop, but can be extended into a complex layout, so long as care is taken on the crests of hills, as dinghies can crash off the track.
 * A remedy for the problem is to build a completely circular section of track at the crests of hills and in the turns, which prevent the dinghies from leaving the track. Also by covering the track instead of the roofless track, it can prevent dinghies crashing, although it will lower the excitement. In RCT1, covered track sections also cost $1 more than uncovered ones.
 * Place covered sections where boats experience negative gs. Any section experiencing a negative g of above 1.0g will cause the boat to fly off the track. Potential trouble spots include

N.B lift hills are never covered. So place yor lift hills only at the very top of a hill, i.e when you are sure the boats arent going fast enough to crash, but not so high up such that dinghies can't climb to the lift hill.
 * 1) Crests of hills. When the slide slopes up and then levels, put covered sections!
 * 2) Transitions from gentle (20o) to steep (60o) slopes when going downwards.
 * 3) Transitions from steep (60o) to gentle (20o) slopes when going upwards.
 * 4) Start of downwards slopes. When the slope transitions from level to gentle slopes, dingies will crash if travelling at a high enough speed.
 * Water slides have considerable friction, so dingies are notorious for stopping in the middle of a level section and causing a traffic jam as the boats pile up behind the stalled boats. This most often happens after a safety cut out, when the lift hill stops working. When that happens, doubleclick "close" on the traffic lights to clear the track, then reopen it.
 * This ride is called Dinghy Slide in RCT2 and Dingy Slide in RCT3
 * In the RCT2 readme, a message says that the water slide does not include water, even though it is located under water rides.
 * BE CAREFUL! Water slide are know to turn on you, killing many people! Even ones that have been ridden many times. If you want a water slide, it is suggested that you put a mechanic next to it, and make the water slide's inspection every 10 minutes. I tried this, and it worked.
 * To prevent this ride from stalling out, you should have only 1 lift hill (right out of the station). Make sure that the boat can make the course, WITHOUT creating another lift.
 * If you are not good at creating a water slide, you can used the Demon Drop (ride name) in RCT 1 and 2.

Amazing Earl's Water Slide
The Amazing Earl/Dan Wolfe created a downloadable Water Slide where the guests put on their swimsuits and slide down the slippery slopes. Instead of dinghies, the guests slide down the ride on their stomaches.
