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 Roller Coaster|Junior]] and [[Steel Mini Roller Coaster]]s). 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]])
*[[Boosters|Booster]] (added in OpenRCT2)
===Constraints===
*Banked Curves - 50° banking
*Maximum Track Slope - 60°
*Maximum Lift Hill Slope - 25°
*Maximum Height - 78 Feet

===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.
* 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.
