This FAQ is not meant to help you beat any scenarios, help you design any
breathtaking coasters, slides, or parks, and will not give you much advice on
how to play the game. All it is is a list of the new items and features that
are added in the expansion. Anything else, I’m not worrying about, I’d rather
play the game. This is for people like me who want to know what’s in it before
they buy, even though I ended up getting it anyway. So then, on to what
everyone’s waiting for, the new rides in Soaked!

As the game’s name says, there’re a lot of coasters in game. Here’s the new
ones that soaked added, assuming I didn’t miss any (or add any in by mistake).
You have the coasters name, its in game description (more are coming, I just
wanted to get something done instead of writing down every description in one
sitting), its listed price that you will never get, and any comments I have on
that type of ride. I will not be giving info on the pre-mades, so don’t ask.
If you want an FAQ on them, feel free to write one.
Name: Alpine Coaster
In-game description: A fast moving toboggan ride.
Price: $1,700 and up
My comments: It appears that this ride is designed for two stations – one at
the top of a hill, and one at the bottom. Guests board at the top, ride down,
and get off. The cars then ride back to the top, empty, and are prepared to
go back down.
Name: Flying coaster
In-game description: Riders are held in comfortable seats below the track,
traveling through twisted track to give the ultimate flying experience.
Price: $4,950 and up.
My comments: N/A
Name: Giant Flume
In-game description: A modern water ride with steep freefall drops from
incredible heights. Designed to be placed in a water body.
Price: $3,950 and up.
My comments: It appears as though this ride actually has to drop into a body of
water to work. It does not contain water as part of its construcion.
Name: Glider Coaster
In-game description: A custom lift section with a rotating column carries the
car to the top of the lift hill.
Price: $4,500 and up
My comments: N/A
Name: Half-Pipe Coaster
In-game description: A coaster based around a skateboarding half pipe.
Price: $2,650 and up
My comments: Although this is a pretty simple ride, it is also very compact,
and comparatively cheap. If you have a small amount of space, and need to
add a coaster, this may be a good choice.
Name: Hershey’s Stormrunner
In-game description:
Price: $9,750 and up
My comments: The games stats make this ride look much better than it is. It’s
just a magnetic launched coaster.
Name: Lay-down Coaster
In-game description: Riders are held in a special harness in a lying down
position, traveling through twisted track and inversions either on their backs
or facing the ground.
Price: $4,000 and up
My comments: N/A
Name: Mini Suspended Flying Coaster
In-game description:
Price: $3,550 and up
My comments: N/A
Name: Roller-Soaker
In-game description: Guests riding this coaster are able to drop a tank of
water onto peeps on the ground below.
Price: $4,500 and up
My comments: This one could definitely have potential in a park, especially,
if the designs are better than the one at Hershey’s. Plus, supposedly, when in
the Coaster cam, you get control of the water, and can soak guests yourself.
Name: Sea Serpent Shuttle
In-game description:
Price: $4,150 and up
My comments: A reverse incline coaster, with an Atlantis theme. It does have
some interesting elements, and looks cool with the head and tail pieces.
Name: Sky Rider Coaster
In-game description: A specially constructed mini-suspended coster with a
vertical lift section, and rotating car.
Price: $2,400 and up
My comments: Very compact, as you don't need to find space for a lift hill,
but still limited in what it can do.
Name: Turbo Bikes
In-game description:
Price: $3,550
My comments: N/A
Name: White Water Rapids
In-game description:
Price: $2,400 and up
My comments: What River Rapids should be. Sloping turns, wide tracks,
obstacles, and awesome waterfalls. If they could do this, why bother with the
other one?
It should be Junior Ride, as they only added one. To make it even worse, what
they added isn’t a new ride, nor is a new theme of an old ride. Even so, here
it is…
Name: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
In-game Description: A whirling and rotating ride themed as Reese's Peanut
Butter Cups.
Area: 4x4
Price: $360
Excitement: 1.73
Intensity: 1.57
Nausea: 2.52
My Comments: Just Teacups with a new look. Still generic themed, so no
advantage for either of them. Guess it comes down to which one you like
better. Actually, Teacups have nearly twice the Excitement, so use it instead.
Probably the second largest set of new features in the expansion. Yeah, there
may be more new coaster types (I haven’t counted, but I doubt it matters), but
you won’t use all of them. These, you’ll use a lot. They tend to be very
efficient sources of income, and valuable additions to your park.
In-game descriptions will be coming.
Name: Aileron
In-game description: An exciting whirly ride with guests riding in suspended
cars.
Area: 6x6
Price: $530
Excitement: 2.87
Intensity: 2.39
Nausea: 2.56
My Comments: In real life, riders can adjust the wings to change altitude.
Haven’t tried to see if peeps do that yet. Actually, the movements are
automatic in the game.
Name: Discus
In-game description: Guests are swung around on a giant rotating disc.
Area: 13x7
Price: $1,262
Excitement: 4.21
Intensity: 4.90
Nausea: 6.30
My Comments: Basically just a revolution with seats on the outside of the
ring. I need to check excitement to see if the larger size gives any benefits.
Actually, it does have a higher excitement and lower nausea, so it may be
worth it.
Name: Disko
In-game description: A spinning disc with seats that goes along a railed
half-pipe.
Area: 3x7
Price: $550
Excitement: 3.61
Intensity: 5.06
Nausea: 5.10
My Comments: I get sick just looking at this. You sit in a bowl, which spins
while going up and down a half pipe. Ugh.
Name: Double Skywheel
In-game description: A twin version of the huge rotating SkyWheel ride.
Area: 5x7
Price: $1,200
Excitement: 1.66
Intensity: 5.12
Nausea: 5.20
My Comments: I think the single Skywheel had a better excitement, so you
probably want to use that. Actually, it has a slightly higher excitement, but
still low, so not real useful.
Name: Giant Slide
In-game Description: Peeps slide down a smooth plastic surface.
Price: 500 and up
My Comments: Build your own big sliding board. It is custom, but just how
high you want to go.
Name: Gyrator
In-game description: A rotating and tumbling vomit-inducing ride.
Area: 7x7
Price: $623
Excitement: 3.71
Intensity: 3.96
Nausea: 3.56
My Comments: From what I’ve seen, just a Twister that has the cars flip
upside down too. According to the games description, you should probably have
a janitor waiting outside the exit.
Name: Kaos
In-game description: Seats on the outside of a spinning and pivoting disc
Area: 5x4
Price: $820
Excitement: 3.65
Intensity: 5.03
Nausea: 6.20
My Comments: Enterprise, only the seats spin now. Hopefully, it doesn’t have
the problem some real ones do where the restraints open randomly for no good
reason.
Name: Octopus
In-game description: Three pairs of seats rotate at the end of octopus arms.
Area: 5x5
Price: $514
Excitement: 2.21
Intensity: 1.92
Nausea: 2.08
My Comments: Basically, a Twister with five arms instead of three. However,
it is themed, so it is better in your new water parks.
Name: Parachute Drop
In-game description: Guests ascend and descend a tall tower in a parachute-
style gondola.
Area: 7x7
Price: $590
Excitement: 3.41
Intensity: 2.58
Nausea: 3.02
My Comments: Another basic thrill ride, but cars function individually,
so you won't waste seats on a half load.
Name: Pounding Surf
In-game description: Guests are swung every which way on a rolling suspended
platform.
Area: 9x7
Price: $420
Excitement: 3.51
Intensity: 3.11
Nausea: 3.36
My Comments: Themed Top Spin with water jets. Great addition to the park.
Name: Power Boat
In-game description: A special themed simulator showing a power boat movie.
Area: 4x4
Price: $460
Excitement: 3.41
Intensity: 4.36
Nausea: 3.56
My Comments: Themed motion simulator, and it splashes, adding extra water
effects.
Name: Rip Tide
In-game description: A whirling and rotating ride
Area: 4x4
Price: $440
Excitement: 3.21
Intensity: 4.36
Nausea: 5.56
My Comments: Disk spins backwards, while tilting toward the sides. Nice,
simple addition to any park.
Name: Sky Swing
In-game description: A huge swinging ride giving the sensation of flying.
Area: 11x34
Price: $1,400
Excitement: 4.57
Intensity: 5.12
Nausea: 6.40
My Comments: The giant bungee thing that most parks charge about 15 dollars
for. It is huge for just a thrill ride, so it may not be worth using, even
though it is popular. Not to be confused with the Sky Sling, that was in the
original release
Name: Spin Doctor
In-game description: Eight pairs of seats attached to either end of a long
rotating arm.
Area: 13x4
Price: $596
Excitement: 4.81
Intensity: 4.39
Nausea: 5.78
My Comments. Two cars on either end of a very long pole. Ride if you dare.
***Water Rides*** Water Rides*** Water Rides*** Water Rides*** Water Rides***
Strangely enough, there’s only one new water ride in the expansion. However,
that’s because the game only considers boat rentals to be water rides, and
other rides, even if they use water, are classified differently.
Name: Windsurfer
My Comments: A new boat to rent. Basically, a surfboard with a sail.
If you use water rides, it’s pretty cool.
Three new rides here, and all can be customized. One, you build yourself,
the other two you can change the shows.
Name: Aquarium
Price: $1,000 and up
Parts: In addition to pathways, you get five tanks – A Manta tank,
a Shark tank, a Round tank, a Double tank, and a Surface tank.
My comments: A fun ride to play around with. The tanks have tunnels through
them, and the Coaster Cam is fun here too. However, it is large for a gentle
ride, although it has a nausea of 0.
Name: Dolphin Show
Area: 5x7
Price: $940
My Comments: First off, it needs to be built in water. Very deep water. If
you find a lake deep enough, you start with two tricks in your show. By going
into the mixmaster, you can add other tricks, as well as choreographing them
with Fireworks, lasers, waterspouts, and music. Some tricks must be researched
before they can be used.
Name: Killer Whale Show
Area: 5x7
Price: $980
My comments: About the same as the Dolphin show. However, you have a
different selection of tricks, and the whale is cooler in my opinion.
*** Transport Rides*** Transport Rides*** Transport Rides*** Transport Rides***
Name: Hop-on Hop-off Trams
In-game description: An easy to catch tram.
My Comments: N/A
Name: Water-based Transport
In-game Description:
My Comments: Basically a Ferry system. You build the stations, and the game
figures out the best path for the boats to get to the next one. You do not
have a track, so you can build through the path, just so long as there is a
way for the ferrys to go. At least two different types of cars - a motor boat
and a turtle.
*** Other Rides*** Other Rides*** Other Rides*** Other Rides*** Other Rides***
Name: Hershey’s Kissing Tower
My Comments: A redone observation tower. Just like the Peanut Butter Cups,
your preference as to which one you prefer. However, in this case, the Kissing
Tower is far more expensive.
*** Stalls*** Stalls*** Stalls*** Stalls*** Stalls*** Stalls*** Stalls***
A few new stalls, mainly meant to go with your water-parks. One new food
stand, to go with the Hershey’s material in the expansion. All item prices
are default, and can be changed just like other item stalls. All new stalls
are $250. Most sell based on the type of peep, having different prices for
Children, Teens, and Adults.
Name: Hershey’s Stall
Inventory: Small Bag of Hershey Kisses @ $0.40
Regular Bag of Hershey Kisses @ $0.60
Large Bag of Hershey Kisses @ $0.80
X-Large Bag of Hershey Kisses @ $0.90
My Comments: Generic stall, so your choice. Toppings are Crushed Nuts and
Caramel.
My Comments: A must for a water park, as it will definitely help increase pool
business. You can pick what colors are available for purchase, but each peep
will chose their own. Male and Female have different Inflatables, but they
cost the same for each age.
My Comments: Almost a must have in any park, as guest now have a sunburn
meter, which probably does affect their happiness.
Name: Sun Glass Stall
Inventory: Sunglasses @ $0.80, $0.90, and $1.00 based on age.
My Comments: Probably the least important of the water stalls, but if you
have it, you should probably build one anyway.
Name: Swimsuit Stall
Inventory: Swimsuits @ $2.50, $4.00, and $5.00, based on age
Quality Swimsuits @ $2.80, $4.40, and $5.80, based on age
My Comments: Don’t even think about building a pool without one of these.
Your guests don’t bring their own, so no stall, no swimming. As a side note,
this is why stalls should not be shaped like what they sell.
First off, you have two new themes. Atlantis is an antique, ruin-like theme,
with several Greek-like items. Paradise Island is a stereotypical set of beach
resort scenery. I believe that White Water Rapids and Sea Serpent Shuttle are
Atlantis themed, and Octopus, Pounding Surf, and Power Boat are Paradise
Island, although I haven’t been able to confirm that yet. There’re also a few
new items, which I’ll go into detail on. I’m not going to list what is in the
new themes, as that would take two long.
Jumping Fountains are $0.50 per square. They go on pathways, and bounce a
stream of water from one fountain to another. For 50 cents, they really boost
guest opinion, so it is definitely worth putting some in.
Loudspeakers are $3.00 a piece. They go on the edge of paths, just like
benches and trash cans. They allow you to play music from a location other
than a ride station. Supposedly, they can be synchronized, but I haven’t
figured out how yet.
Passport Machines are $2.00 a piece. They go on the edge of the path. Guests
receive a passport card at the gate (Whether you have the machines or not), and
when they collect enough stamps from visiting the machines, they win a free
prize. These are a good way to get guests to visit remote portions of your
park.
Water Cannons are $5.00 a piece. They go on the edge of a path. Guests can
use these to spray other guests. Guests enjoy using them, but hate getting
hit. The best way to use one would be to combine a group with a Roller-Soaker,
but keeping it away from other attractions. These will kill your pool
populations, ironically. I had a pool go from 120 guest to 30 in minutes
after adding a few cannons nearby.
What everyone wants to know about, which is why it is at the end. After all,
you wouldn’t have read anything else if this was at the front, would you?
But now, onto building your very own pool complexes.
The first step is to build a pool. You have four choices of edge – smooth
edges, diagonals, tight curves, and smooth curves. Choose whichever you
like, and lay out a pool. You can build a pool in any shape you choose, with
islands and other options. After building your pool, lay out some deck on the
outside, so you can add equipment into your complex.
Items for your deck:
Lifeguard Chair - $100. No obvious benefits, but it probably give guests
security and increases your business.
Pool Lamp - $5.00 Just a lamp, only it can be built in your pool complex,
unlike regular path lamps.
Pool Shower - $3.00 No obvious benefits, but they do get used, so spend a few
bucks and put some in.
Sun Loungers - $15.00 Put in a pair of beach chairs for guests to lay in the
sun.
Sun Loungers w/ Umbrella - $20.00 Allows guests to get into the shade while
in your pool
High Dive - $51.00 and up You can build a multiple level high dive on your
deck for your guests enjoyment.
Spa Pool - $75.00 Your guests get a hot tub to relax in.
Items for your pool:
Diving boards - $25.00 Allow your guests to jump right in.
Ladders - $4.00 Allow guests to get out easier.
Underwater light - $7.00 Just a light for your pool
Wave Machine - $50.00 Make any pool a wave pool by adding a few along a wall.
The size, frequency, and duration of the waves are set at your changing rooms.
Now, you should have a nice pool and deck. Now, you need to let guests in.
You do this via changing rooms. There are four varieties that you can choose
from. Guests enter through here, and pay here. Base your entry price on how
much you have in your complex. You can have as many changing rooms as you
want, but they increase maintenance cost. Your Mechanics will have to fill
them with a cleaning fluid periodically, and each filling costs money. You
have three choices of fluid, a weak, medium, and strong type. Your
combination of cleaning fluid, filling frequency, and the number of changing
rooms cleaning your pool determines how clean your pools are. They can range
from clean to disgusting, with clean being the only acceptable level for any
objectives. Note that it is very difficult for pools to get dirty, so it isn’t
that big a deal.
You can connect multiple decks with paths, as well. For close by levels, you
can place ramps or spiral staircases on your deck to reach higher levels.
Staircases are also very useful for getting guests up to your waterslides.
***Rides and Slides*** Rides and Slides*** Rides and Slides***
No water park is limited to just a pool. To be good, you must have slides and
other water rides available to your guests. You have several types of rides
available to add to your pool complex. Since you cannot charge for any rides
in your complex, add the charge to your changing rooms. An entry fee of ten
to twenty dollars is very reasonable for a decent complex. All slides must
end in a pool, end fairly close to the water level of the pool, and have
sufficient space for a safe landing. If your ride isn’t safe, it WILL BE
CLOSED.
Aquablaster
Special track segments can propel the rafts uphill. A useful ride if you d
on’t want to have guests climb up to start your water slides.
Estimated at $1,700 and up.
Body Slide
A simple slide meant to be used without mats. One of the cheapest slides,
it can still be good if used properly. Unfortunately, there are no lift hills,
so you have to go downhill. Estimated at $1,500 and up.
H2O Slide Bowl
This is a mat slide, but you can end in either large funnels, or in bowls that
drop the rider into the pool below. A fun ride to play with.
Estimated at $2,250 and up.
Inflatable Ship
This ride is easy to use, because it is premade. Just drop it on the edge of
the pool, and open it up. Costs $225, and gives guests easy enjoyment.
Lazy River
Just gives guests a gentle current to float around in. It doesn’t provide
inner tubes for some reason, so guests will either tread water or use
inflatables. Estimated at $1,700 and up.
Ring/Raft Slide
A fancy water slide that uses rings or rafts to seat groups of guests. Does
not have lift hills, so it's entirely gravity based.
Estimated at $4,200 and up.
***Other Changes*** Other Changes*** Other Changes ***Other Changes***
This is just a bit of a list of other stuff that was added or changed, but not
important enough to get their own section. Here’s some more new stuff:
Waterfalls: In the terrain tools, there is a new feature that allows you to
create waterfalls in your park. You need to have a body of water with a
straight edge, and a second straight edged body immediately above. Once you
have your water, select the waterfall tool, and then both bodies of water.
Voila, Waterfall. You can remove it by deleting it like any other object, or
by editing one of the bodies of water.
In research, you can research the pool rides and slides, as well as new
elements for your dolphin and whale shows.
In addition to fireworks, you can now do lasers and waterspouts in your shows.
You can make custom lasers to write or draw on walls. You can also change the
angle for lasers and fireworks. A good example is in the first scenario,
where fireworks are used to create a naval battle between pirates.
During Scenarios, you may be approached with a challenge. They are typically
given when working on Amateur and Tycoon requirements. If you complete them
in the time limit, you receive a reward, usually either cash, an increase in
publicity, or both. You can postpone a challenge one time.
Tunnels are back. However, they still require a vertical face to make.
You can also do underwater footpaths. Underwater tunnels are very easy to
use. Just select the underwater tunnel path type, go into the bridge controls,
and head underwater. Piece of cake.
Your attraction list now has a separate area listing pool complexes
Your entertainers now have the ability to wear a Shark Costume
You now have a statistic summary on your guest list, which shows the average
happiness, energy, hunger, etc, for your guests, as well as telling you what
types of groups are in your park, and how many different groups.
You also have a new VIP, Bob Waterman, who is apparently fond of water parks,
and will judge your pools in some scenarios. After seeing him, I think he's
supposed to be some famous swimmer.
Well, that’s all the differences I can think of. Hope that’s helpful for you
who are wondering if the expansion is worth it.
