Only in RCT1, buddy. RCT2's guests can navigate extra-wide paths with less difficulty, they keep going in one direction mainly. RCT1's guest AI randomwalks the wide paths and it's a mess.

you'll never have to worry about brakes.

They're actually pleasant rides in real life, but RCT is super-biased and you can't build an exciting one without massive nausea.

I fucking love shitstorms of coasters.

I haven't seen one of these in awhile. Here's some resources for anyone still playing or new to the game.

I think it's time for a thread for one of the best PC games of the late 90s... Rollercoaster Tycoon.

I love sharing RCT1 screenshots. I think my favorite original pack scenario is Ivory Towers. It's set up with enough space to keep it interesting for the entire time (but you spend the first year just making the park functional)

This screencap is my final Thunder Rock park. What a great scenario, you really have to learn to work with density.
