[. . . ] To get an optimal view of the RollerSoaker releasing water, position the Coaster Cam to look backwards and then zoom out. Creating Dolphin and killer whale Shows Before you add a dolphin or killer whale show, you must first create a water body using the terrain tools, and one that is deep enough to accept the show "object. " See the RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 manual for instruction on creating bodies of water. After you've finished building the water body, select either dolphin or killer whale show from the Gentle Rides, position the ride in the water, and then click to add the attraction. If the water is too shallow, the color of the attraction will remain red. The fastest way to adjust the water body to the proper depth is to hold down the Alt key while the show is positioned over the water ­ when the color of the attraction turns blue, click to add it there. Finally, add an entrance and exit, connect them to your park's path system and open the show just like other attractions. After you've placed the show, you can customize the contents of the show by clicking the Aquatics MixMaster button found in the attraction's control panel. When clicked, the RCT3 MixMasterTM sequencer interface will be displayed where you can add any of the choreo- Creating Waterfalls Waterfalls can only be constructed between two adjacent bodies of water where one is higher than the other. First, modify the terrain to create a raised area -- for best results, use the tool to create a mesa. Next, create a pit on the mesa and then add water (consult the RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 manual for instructions on adding water bodies). This higher water body must have a flat, straight edge over which the water can flow. Then, create a pit at the base of the raised area and add water there, too, ensuring that there is at least some water in the lower body that is roughly underneath the edge over which you want the water the flow. Finally, click the Waterfalls button (as seen on page 10) to activate the waterfall function, then click the raised water body to select it, and then click the lower water body to select it. If the terrain has been formed properly, a waterfall will be created automatically. The width of the waterfall is selected based on the narrower of i) the length of the flat, straight edge on the 14 15 graphed moves in any order you want by clicking in the timeline. In order to easily preview the show while choreographing it, you can move the mouse backwards and forwards to "scrub" through the show. Note: Dolphin and killer whale shows cannot be added to swimming pools.

Click the button for Free-form Terrain Tile Shaping, and then point to an area of the terrain, hold down the mouse button and drag the mouse up until the terrain is raised to the height you want.
