*[[File:Dinghyreadme.png|thumb|400px|A message in the RCT2 manual saying that the dinghy slide does not include water.]]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. 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
 
#Crests of hills. When the slide slopes up and then levels, put covered sections!
#Transitions from gentle (20o) to steep (60o) slopes when going downwards.
#Transitions from steep (60o) to gentle (20o) slopes when going upwards.
#Start of downwards slopes. When the slope transitions from level to gentle slopes, dingies will crash if travelling at a high enough speed.
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.
 
*This ride is called Dinghy Slide in [[RCT2]] and Dingy Slide in [[RCT3]]
