How do you get Coasters in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 to boost by using brakes?

Question

Ive seen it be done before but just dont remember. and im pretty sure it was brakes. Thanks.

Answer 1

I am pretty sure, if memory serves (it's been awhile since I played), you can add sections that control the speed. By entering a fixed speed you either brake the train or accelerate it.

(Check out the last paragraph)

As far a boosters not being realistic as coasterman pointed out, trust me they are real. King's Island's "Flight of Fear" Cincinnati, Ohio / Cedar Point's new "Maverick" and "Wicked Twister" are all booster driven. Even "Maverick's" lift hill is only boosters. No chains or cables! Cool, huh?

Have fun and good luck.

Answer 2

I've never been able to achieve that. But I think its possible by using the block brakes. But if your aiming at realism (like I do with my parks on it) an in ride boost isn't realistic.
