Inner Tube Slides and Aqua Blaster Question - evilthecat6600 - Jun 17, 2014

So, I'm still practicing with pathways and scenery, however, I might be working on a fantasy water park (based off real life parks but not a direct recreation) and if it looks good enough I might share images here. I'm not making any promises though.

However, before I can get started, I need to ask two questions relating to the Aqua Blaster Slides. I know some slides I plan to use are referred to as "inner tube slides" in real life. I know if you look them up on Google Images you'll see the inner tube used in the Aqua Blaster.

Here are my questions:
1. Can you do banked track pieces on the Aqua Blaster? (According to some images and some other non-Aqua Blaster recreations, some of the inner tube based slides have banked turns)

2. Can you use the two-rider inner tube on other slide types such as the H20 Bowl Slide or the Body Slide?

1. - No. The ride includes a cage around it so it is banked no matter what, depending on the speed.
2. - No. You could use the Aqua Blaster if you want to do 2 riders.

Thanks for the information.

Hopefully I can use the Aqua Blaster since six of the slides I plan to use involve banked turns and/or single or double inner tubes.

Oh and a follow up question: What's the best way to design recreations if you haven't been to, or can't get to, a park that you're using?

I use Google Earth all the time. If street view is possible that also helps.

evilthecat - also look up pov's of the ride on youtube because it helps being able to see the ride.


RE: Inner Tube Slides and Aqua Blaster Question - evilthecat6600 - Jun 17, 2014

Thanks again. I can probably mix using both Google Earth with POVs to see all sides of a ride. Hopefully they'll be as good as the original...the only recreation I've ever made was RC Coaster (no CS at all) from one of the European Disney Parks...my mind is blanking which park that's from. So this is my first serious attempt at making a park of recreation rides.
