The Water Coaster is a roller coaster type introduced in the Loopy Landscapes expansion pack for the original RollerCoaster Tycoon. It is most notable for its use of water sections to soak the riders.

Construction

Track is made up of two steel beams with cross sections in the middle (similar to the Junior and Steel Mini Roller Coasters). The supports are poles made out of steel and the water sections have steel lattice supports. Unlike the Junior and Steel Mini Roller Coasters, the Water Coaster uses a chain lift hill instead of a friction wheel lift hill.

Special Track Elements

Banked Curves
Banked Helix
Water Sections (not noted in-game)
On-ride photo section (added in OpenRCT2)
Booster (added in OpenRCT2)

Constraints

Banked Curves - 50° banking
Maximum Track Slope - 60°
Maximum Lift Hill Slope - 25°
Maximum Height - 78 Feet

Ride rating penalties

Ride stat	Requirement	Ratings affected if missed
Highest drop height	6 m (19 ft)	Excitement, intensity, nausea (-50% each)
Drops	1	Excitement, intensity, nausea (-50% each)
Max. speed	25 km/h (16 mph)	Excitement, intensity, nausea (-50% each)
Water sections	1 piece	Excitement (-87.5%)

Other Information

A mixture of a roller coaster and a water splash ride. The boats run on rails, allowing fast spiral turns and steep drops, which can be enhanced by carefully positioned water splash sections.
The water splash sections can only be level track, either straight segments or standard-radius curves.
- In OpenRCT2, water sections can also use S-bends.
Water splash sections can be used as a substitute for brakes in the event of a brakes failure breakdown.
Oddly enough, in Loopy Landscapes, the Water Coaster is listed only as a water ride and can be invented only under the category of 'Thrill Ride'.
This is the only ride outside the "Roller Coasters" tab which will be named "Roller Coaster #" at default when adding this ride to the park.

In Real Life

The design is based on Premier's Liquid Coaster. RCDB Entry
