| Water Slide | |
|---|---|
| Type | Water Ride |
| Description | Similar to a roller coaster, but dinghies carry only two people, can travel faster, and can fly off the track. |
| Cost | $1,200 upwards |
| Size | Medium-Large (actual size depends on construction) |
| Appearances | RCT, RCT2, RCT3 |
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
A 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.
