Good day all

I have a problem with the river rapids ride. In patch UPDATE 1, when you start your river rapids ride and it runs for about 2-3 minutes (real time) one boat in the station will disappear when it reaches the front of the station – literally, there is an empty spot where this boat is supposed to be. Peeps can not now board the ride or exit it but no one seems to complain about this or the long queue times. Peeps still enter the ride queue line.
This happens continually. I have rebuild the ride, changed the locations of the entrance and exit, played with the ride timing – MIN and MAX waiting time and number of boats.
Nothing seems to solve this.
Has anybody experienced the same or similar problems and how can this be fixed.

Thanks for your time

Yep - have had this one myself post patch - kinda frustrating but I got round it by quickly closing/reopening the ride. (if I remember rightly I might've even done it on pause)

To which because I was not going to spend another hour re-building that ride - I just kept a casual eye on it and repeated whenever it did it. I also reduced the number of boats to match the station length - so if it did do it at least the returning peeps would get off.

Hopefully this will be fixed in the next update,
but it might be worth you dropping Frontier (rct3game@frontier.co.uk) a line explaining this problem as clearly as possible.

Thanks Silkius

I've now been reading on the USA forums and it has already been reported there, apparently this also happens on the Virginia reel. I Will need to check this myself.

Oh, and this happens with even one boat on a 5 square station. disappears as soon as the peeps get off.
I've done the closing and opening thing but it gets irritating after a while so I just demolished it.
I’ve decided to only build one again, or any other water flume ride for that matter, when the water bugs have been fixed regarding the speeds of the rides.

Cheers
