*N.B lift hills are never covered. So place your lift hills only at the very top of a hill, i.e when you are sure the boats aren't going fast enough to crash, but not so high up such that dinghies can't climb to the lift hill.

*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.

*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.
