Ask the Experts / River Rapids

hello.

Can anybody show me how to make river rapids invisible? So that the rafts just float on the water? This is what I've tried:
1. Zero clearenced ride under water
2. Changed track type to crooked house

The problem now is that the rafts move underwater. (they don't float)
Any help would be appreciated!

Hmmm, you could try Gee's method, that could work. Ot you can merge it onto a coaster track and make that invisible, or just use the mini coaster methos for rapids, acting as a guide track.

Sorry but can you explain the said methods? lol

the best way to do this is to make a rapids ride station a few tiles long, then merge this onto mini-roller coaster track and when the circuit is over merge back to the rapids station. also, try and build the rapids station so it goes underground, turns and comes back to connect so it's a complete circuit, this will allow many boats onto your layout.

if you want the boat to do rapids sequences (whirlpools/rapids/waterfalls) during the course you'll have to merge back to rapids track from mini-rc track. if you want good examples of this checkout el encierro, phatage's pt2 busch gardens sydney, or for rctll sea world sydney. 2 of the 3 can be found in my sig.

alright I'll give it a shot. Thanks very much!
