RCT1 & RCT2 had different aging mechanics.

While OpenRCT2 just multiplies ride-value at <5 months and <13 months age by 1.5x and 1.2x respectively, this is actually a "fix" to the "broken" system that was in place in the original RCTs.
In the original, <5 month old and <13 month old rides just added flat values into the equation, which led to rides with naturally low ride-value multipliers to have extremely inflated prices in their first 5 months.
This meant that you could effectively just spam as many flat rides as you wanted to get your early economy going and ace the rest of the scenario while swimming in cash.

But it doesn't just stop with flat rides and cash grab coasters, usually for OpenRCT2's age-value modifiers to ever catch up, you'd need a stellar excitement rating on most rides in the game, usually 9 excitement.
So in 95% of cases, your rides will be worth more in the original RCT and RCT2, than they will in OpenRCT2.
