Water Rides!

[Marvin1]

If we get the open / closed day cycle and the "set up the day before the park opens" feature that was requested, the only main thing I'd love to see is for the rapids and flumes to drain when they are closed and have to refill when they are getting ready... Like you see in a real park at the end of the day..

Hmm... didn't even think of that. Small details like that would really be appreciated.

I would love to build something like this:

River Quest

Features:- Elevator
- 22m high
- 2 big drops (first 11m, second 7m)
- Whirlpool Element

This would bring waterrides to a whole new level. Imagine the possibilities... [squeeeeee]

Didnt even think of that too. That's amazing !!

There should be log flumes, giant flumes, river rapids, water coasters, tow boat rides, water dark rides, dinghy slides, and raft slides (like Storm Surge at Thorpe Park).

There should also be the boat hire attractions for things like row boats, canoes, swan paddle boats, bumper boats, water tricycles, jet skis, etc.

Thanks to John Walls interview, we know there are going to be water rides in the base game (he said not a lot, becuase they want to get them right), so thank god for that, they are probably already already working with the water physics.
What im pretty sure that is going to appear are the typical vanilla RCT rides:
-Log flume
-Shoot the chutes
-River Rapids (the thin version)
-The floats coaster.
-Some type of swans, tow boat or water transport rides (if those exist, we still dont know about them).

Those are the staples of a real theme park, the minumum a game will need.
Now you can start adding a little to expand the water rides flavour, I really hope they add (and they are probably going to appear, but who knows):
-River Rapids (the wide version that appears on Soaked for the first time, as I think is more regular on theme parks than the thin version).
-Some extreme version of the shoot the chutes.
-The really special pieces of all this rides. Log flume going backwards, whirlpools, elvators, circle riverapids station (RCT never got right this ones, becuase they were too difficult to implement)...

And something really importat that I dont know how hard would be to implement, is that all this rides need to have special rails that use already made bodies of water, just like in real life, instead of only rails totally separated form the waters you can create (like we always had in RCT).

But dont be expecting the whole collection of water parks and slides that appeared on Soaked, because thats probably not going to happen until a expansion comes along.

Just some example pictures of my favorite theme park:

Oh ❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎ yes, Europa Park is BY FAR the best park I've been to. Would love to recreate the Poseidon (water coaster) in PC.

To add to the river rapids, I've always wanted the possibility to have the track go level to the ground (where the water is level to the ground) and the ground auto terraform to the track instead of the blocky ditches. Also the river rapids always seemed to lack in features likes geysers, water cannons, and so on. Lastly I expect all water rides to have a long lines, especially on hot days. That lacked in RCT3.

I'm late to the party but this would make my day!

The rapids rides in RCT3 were an improvement in the fact that they had larger rapids, but they never looked realistic. The fact that they were higher then the ground, and looked "blocky" when made level with the ground was always annoying. On top of that it was real hard to control the "level" and I found myself constantly having to adjust terrain to make it fit right.. and it never did fit right..

As said before, I also want a "round" style loading bay. Something like this:

most of the parks I have been to have a loading bay like this where it constantly moves.

But the most important part is making it actually look realistic and a part of the park. They never looked real, and I hated how they pretty much had to be above ground. I feel like Planet Coaster is doing so well with modding that we could make some insane rapids rides. Especially with the scenery.

I want to see water rides in a expansion pack after release. Maybe have a lot flume and river rapids in the base game.

Checking in with PC Forums to see if there's any talk of a Soaked expansion, along with a Water / Island biome... doesn't look like it though.

I didn't start playing RCT3 until they added the soaked expansion... Water slides and pools are where it's at.

As far as I am concerned, due to Planet Coaster technical's engineer (including here how water is made) It is not possible to add water slides or similar stuff so we just can wait and see if PlanCo2 can include them.

The water in Planet Coaster is just a texture, what was the water in RCT3? It seemed to be more alive. I guess Frontier took shortcuts during development of Planet Coaster and it’s too late now to change anything to allow waterslides and stuff. Maybe in the next Planet Coaster game.
