Track Rides how to create a river and waterfall using raft track ride
- Thread starter wowman

Never thought of that. I must give it a try. Looks quite impressive.
I've done my river a bit different, I've placed the station and a curvy track completely under terrain and I've used terrain tools to work out the river afterwards . this way you can avoid appearing track edges entirely. you can also use it to design your ride, not just an improvisated river. 
(would be fun to see the waterfall element as ride. whaaaaaaaa)

You must give the hint:
Build the railway ready in the underground and tast it, than close it. otherwise you have so mutch error messages
yep - that is a great way to do it as well.I've done my river a bit different, I've placed the station and a curvy track completely under terrain and I've used terrain tools to work out the river afterwards . this way you can avoid appearing track edges entirely. you can also use it to design your ride, not just an improvisated river.

Other ideas:
*have the river split, which you can do with a second track. Easy to do without collision now.
*you obviously don't have to drop the waterfall so far...you can just drop it a few feet and have a second track/river that it flows into.
*With single track pieces, you can create a pretty good looking cascade.
*you can make the river on a sloped terrain...I just chose to do a flat version in the video.

They should add a basic rivet set of scenery objects to reduce the load on CPU like I suggested here -
