I have this floorless coaster I'm working on, and because I have to have it on Boat Hire mode, I can't get more than one train. So question #1:
Is it possible to have more than one train on a track with a station that will not immediately accommodate it?
And since all floorless coaster trains are set at 7 cars, question #2:
Is it possible to make the trains 8 cars long? I have tried with the "8 cars per train" setting under "Rides", as well as tried editing it in the "Edit Rides" menu, both to no avail. So is there something hindering the 8 cars per train feature, or do I need a different version of 8cars (currently 1.31), or what?

Cant you just set it to the powered launch setting with the block brakes? Wouldnt that let you have more than one train?
As for the second question I have no idea. Im useless at RCT2 hacking.

I always thought that Powered Launch was for one train, and Boat Hire mode was for more then one. Hmmm, maybe not.

And i'm not sure why the 8 cars setting isn't working. Strange.

If it is in Boat Hire mode, you have to make the station long enough to house more than 1 train.

Yeah, I had to change a part of the track after I had done the station building (before that I had done block sections) so I couldn't elongate it.

It can be done.

Thank you, geewhz.

Turns out the station wasn't long enough to handle 8 cars. But I "fixed" it.
