Water Coaster

The Water Coaster is a Coaster in the game Parkitect. Riders sit in 8 passenger boat-shaped cars that travel along both coaster tracks and water channels.

Unique Design Mechanics
The splashdown/water channel special track piece comes with its own set of unique mechanics. In order to transition in or out of a water channel, the builder must use a 1/2 or greater angle slope down or slope up piece. The water channel can be sunken 1/4 of a unit into the ground or water in order to blend into its surroundings better.

Although the water coaster does have block sections, they will behave differently depending on whether the next block section ahead contains a water channel. If a block section is made up entirely of coaster track, it will behave like any other coaster and the ride will stop at the end of the previous section until the next section is completely clear. If the next section contains a water channel, a train will not wait until the next section is completely clear before continuing. Instead, it will freely continue until the base of the next lift hill leaving the water. At this point, it will treat the lift hill as a block section and will stop at the base of the lift hill until the train ahead has left the lift hill completely.

The water coaster also has access to the turntable piece. The turntable will stop the boat and turn it left or right depending on the piece selected. You can check the "Reversing" option to choose whether to rotate the boat so it travels through the next section backwards or forwards.
