I'm not sure if it gets enough traffic for this but some sort of submission thing for scenarios and stuff maybe, and only ones that receive enough positive votes over a short amount of time stay up?

first time fiddling around with the scenario editor, trying to make some varied landscapes.

Is it better to make distinct, isolated mountains rather than rolling hills, to make it easier to place and build rides?

Also, if there are any obvious no no's, please tell me.

>>1910290
I just accept anything that gets e-mailed to me

>>1910294
I'd love to do a multiplayer passaround with this map

>>1910294
One of your entrances still has the black sand.
Those zones are nice, take a look at the RCT1 park "Magic Quarters" for something similar if you need inspiration.
Rolling hills are nice, but move them back a little from the main paths, that way we won't have to flatten them to add stalls and whatnot. That looks like a pretty small park.

>>1910316
I've never done any of those before, the map size and regions are just random.
No Idea if this could work out for that at all, it's basically just for practice with the editor. I'm very interested in all the different tricks and hacks I've seen anons do with the scenery objects.
But if improves as I work on it, I'd be happy to share it.

>>1910325
Thanks.
It is a very small park, I'm basically not
thinking that much about how it would actually function as an active park.
But I guess I'll give it a try if it works out well, I could try utilizing a bit of height and making crossover walkways between the zones.

>>1910406
Unless you have a block brake somewhere between the station and that last hill lift, you're going to have a crash on your hands very soon

>>1910412
The entire course is one block section, with the station split into two separate entrance and exit platforms and one block brake right after the chain, so I can run three trains on it.

There's a little bit of a wait for it to pull into the station after it completes the circuit, but nothing intolerable or unrealistic.

>>1910418
What I'm seeing is if a safety cut-out happens if any train is on the track, it'll go up to the hill lift and stop on it (since the lift won't let it roll back).

If another train has already left the station while the first train is stuck on the hill lift, it'll crash into it.

>>1910426
it shouldn't be possible for a second train to leave the station before the first train reaches the top of the lift hill, since the top of the lift is the first block-setting piece the train encounters during its course.

>>1910432
Oh yeah, good point.

Hey OP, if you're going to link to RCTConvert, could you link to my similar tool?

It's a batch file so you can actually read what it does. It makes FLACs instead of MP3s and tags them properly.

I'm proud of you son.

I know that this is retro, but...
Anyone have a collection of RCT3 CS to make my park look neat.

Not necessarily looking for custom support, but more like path covers and custom entrance bullshit

>>1910316
I'm pretty much done with the landscaping part, and I think I made the map too small to be able to make anything decent in multiplayer.

Think I'm gonna try make a really small, comfy park with it though.

>>1911206
I just realized one of your park gates is facing the wrong way...

>>1911225
And one of them has ash/dust footpaths on it.

>>1911225
faaakk, I'm terrible at noticing those things.
I'll have to fix it up tomorrow, it's getting really late here.

Any ideas for the green area? I'm thinking about just keeping it flat and making it more forest'y, but without any robin hood bullshit.

>>1911206

>>1911241
Thanks. But I think it's especially obvious there that I got completely caught up in decorating, and had no thoughts about how I would place rides.

>>1911261
It's going to be a challenge to make that park look good.

>>1911268
Sure thing, but I've never gotten further than the landscaping part.
Are there certain settings for research and goals and such that you guys normally use when you share maps?

>>1911275
Personally I just prefer the "Make X Money from Ride Profits". The ones where you have to keep a certain rating are tedious to me.

>>1911275
On a map that small, there's not much need for research trees.

>>1911272
Yup.
But I'll give it a good try, and if I get real pissed off at how stupid I've made it, I'll learn a lesson from it.

>>1911279
Or maybe just share the landscape file from the editor? Then you can do exactly as you like.

>>1911309
Not sure why you've got brakes behind the station of a shuttle coaster in RCT1, since they just launch again if the brakes fail.

I love whispering cliffs but 5 screenies just for an overview is annoying -_-

Only used trainers to change the train type for the powered launch coasters (for looks), otherwise completed the entire thing with no hax

If there's one thing I really miss from RCT1 it's that vertical brick wall terrain.

>>1911357
I miss those queue lines, too.

what would be the coolest theme park theme in real life? i think something like six flags ride intensity or around there but at the same time to actually feel like it has a theme like Disney land rides. but what type of theme

>>1911364

I love choosing which supports to use for paths.

That along with the wall/roof terrain is why I play this scenarios on RCT1 instead of 2

>>1911394
the 2nd one is really cool. i like how dense it is minimum walking

>>1911394
do these create custom sceneries just for single parks?
It also looks like they change the behavior of the visitors, in that mall for instance. Or maybe those cashiers are just sceneryies that look like regular visitors.

>>1911440

i dont know much, but i would assume that a lot of these crazy ass parks have unique scenery. as for the mall cashiers, i assume that the creator has a custom piece of scenery that is just a sprite standing around. visitor behavior looks normal to me. Lots of lost peeps, (or they are just static scenery) and tons of peeps bunched up in popular areas, like around the shooting star.

i have always assumed that a lot of the parks on nedesigns have terrible park ratings, just because the game AI cant work with such intricate pathing and stuff. that being said, fuck the park rating. im always amazed at what beautiful stuff people make in RCT.

>>1911886
Most of these wide ass paths aren't real tho, most of them just place invisible paths above them

>>1911886
>>1911949
But that's the amazing thing about RCT, there are two equally deep and intricate parts to it. The amazing possibilites for customization, and then the park mechanics and coaster simulations.

>Why is it called "World"? I'm glad you asked! You can create your amusement park on a plot that's connected (by monorail of course) to three other plots. These can be inhabited by your friends' parks or people you meet online to create a multiplayer massive theme park. But before you cry all SimCity on me, Kennedy was quick to point out how Roller Coaster Tycoon World will be different from EA's game.

>"You don't have to play with anyone if you don't want to," Kennedy said. "And there will be an offline mode." You can save up enough money to buy the other plots and build your own huge park completely on your own. But if you do choose to play online with people, the option is there.

Offline confirmed, but these 3 plots of land, pre conected so does that mean transportation rides are out?

>>1912471
Depends if it's 'no borders' plot or something like the multiplayer we do. The fact that they say 'people you meet online to create a multiplayer massive theme park' makes me want to believe that you can entwine over other people's sections...

>>1912159
After going to Vegas and MoA, a park integrated in a commercial/urban environment seems cool. Until I get to thinking logistics about safety, maintenance, access, and rights well before I worry about aesthetics or how good it would be.
I get my fix for urban excitement from street course racetracks, and luckily those are temporary.

Does the GoG download work on Macs?

>>1913083

>>1912593
what? no. I meant Borders, the bookstore. I'm sad that it closed.

Hell, I like the fact that the map cuts off into the mall. It's cool to have that cross section view. Fuck, even sewers. It's neat man.

>>1912159
I'm trying how it is to make something like that, but holy crap it's tedious to cut out all the surroundings. I will still try to do better

Halp please.
The trains just don't start.
And if I move the block brakes around on the first ramp up (one block back or one block forward), the game doesn't put a train there and I'm left with two instead of three.

>>1914486
Don't put those block breaks after the lift hills, there isn't enough space for the trains.

Does anybody have a link to the previous thread? Somebody posted a scenario they made that I never got a chance to download.

Thanks!

I need to build more trainyards.

I wish there was a way to place a train on the track without building a station

>>1914486
One train is waiting to leave the station and one train is waiting to enter the station. With a lift hill and one block brake configuration, put the block brake behind the station, always.

>>1914494
Welp. Now it added an extra train, and it still won't start.

>>1914537
I recall a guide using 8cars that was intended for putting a spare roller coaster train onto a transfer track. It's possible, though bothersome.

>>1914545
Fix the second hill, you still have the same problem.

>>1914545
>http://archive.moe/vr/thread/1866180/

lift hills count as a block brake, do not put block brakes right after one. If this still happens then you have too many blocks for the amount of trains, remove one.

Getting back into the game after a brief hiatus. Haven't quite regained the hang of naming rides yet.

>>1914547

>>1914596
Hard to say really. You just get a feel for what wiill work and what won't if you play for long enough. Blueballed will probably be able to explain in detail what makes a good compact.

>>1914596
It's just a matter of working out fitting track into a small space whilst keeping the forces in line. Once you have some intuition for forces, it gets considerably easier.

welp, blueballad was right about that map I made which was divided into four different areas.It was a way too small, really hard to make the zones look consistent without all the scenery clashing together.
But I did get some good practice with creating buildings, so I'm gonna try a bigger map with one theme.
Here's what I got so far.
Still haven't planted trees in the mountains, and the rivers could be made to look more natural, but I don't know how.
Thinking about making little villages or hovels around the fortress for the stalls, and then building the rides around those.

what really helped me git gud at compact coasters was to go into the coaster designer mode, place down a few prebulits that i liked a lot, and then build my own coaster right next to it, copying elements that i liked and trying to match the overall look.

after awhile, as others said, you just start to "know" what you want and you can make some really cool compact stuff.

this was the first compact woody i was happy with the looks, and also the first coaster where i got a hang of block sections.

Finishing off the new pages for the help site. Does anyone know where I can get the sound effects used in the game (clicks etc.)? Would be nice to put onto the site for more realism.

thanks, it actually doesn't takte that much patience.
When I first started RCT2, I felt flabbergasted because of all the new rides and sceneries. Even the beginner scenarios seemed way too expansive for me, so I dropped it pretty soon.
But now that I've gotten into it again, it's like you find a zen moment. I admit until now, I've focused on trying to make the scenery look good, but when you get satisfied with that, you'll feel an urge to build rollercoasters around your scenery.
I'll post screen when I get on with this japanese theme park. I've added all the trees, but I can't really tell if they look like shit or not.
Also >>1916534, I've just realized that I've read your name as blue ballad the whole time. Blue balls makes so much more sense in a rollercoaster context.

>>1916283
The Track viewer and the save game modifier have the same description, btw.

I also had an idea for the "Rides" page, which I quickly made up back in the old generals

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57672247/RCT/RCT.HTML

(Making the rides transparent is pretty easy. Take screenshot, open in Paint.NET or PS, select the magic wand tool and set the select mode to global (which results in one color being selected wherever it can be found in the picture) and apply onto the grid, then remove)

What do I do with my years old rides?
They're breaking down more and more often now, a few even have downtimes above 10%.
How do I completely renew them, maintenance-wise, without trainers?

>>1916950
Neat Rides page.
I hope you can make it so you can scroll around the map like in RCT, though, or that you'll separate them by type.

>>1916967

It's less of a "muh FLACs" and more "the bitrate is so shit that MP3s don't offer any benefits besides compressing it even further." For a future-proof format, FLAC makes sense over MP3.

What's the format of the music inside the .dat files?
My usual media player could play the .dat files just fine, got me wondering.

Also, a bunch .flac files made with your script didn't work, while some .dat files could be played.

>>1917128

I like it.

>>1917321
Thanks for trying it, sorry it didn't work out.
>Also, a bunch .flac files made with your script didn't work, while some .dat files could be played.
Can you give me:
- A screenshot / list / whatever of the files that could not be played (or even just one example of a file that doesn't play)
- What media player you use
It would be helpful. I use Foobar2000 but either VLC or Foobar should be able to play every file.

>What is the format of the music?
Wave, 22050 Hz, 2 channels, 8 bits per sample, 352 kbps (for the carousel music I am going by), PCM

Looks like everything but the carousel music was updated for RCT2 to be 16 bits per sample, thus doubling the bitrate.

FLAC is basically designed as a drop-in replacement for Wave, so there shouldn't be any issues.

BTW, the reason I'm so autistic about performance is I'd like an old game like [Open]RCT2 to open and fully load in less than a second. That way it would be faster to open a park than loading a lossless PNG from New Element Designs.

>>1909775

>Ogg
Sure, maybe. But you can't (shouldn't) go from WAV directly to Ogg. You would want a lossless, future-proof format in-between. And since the lossless music isn't that big anyway and the bitrates are total shit, I'll keep it lossless. I'm not a FLACfag, it's just for this album.

>Bigger files
That would be counter-intuitive, unless the bigger files had some benefit.

Even if OpenRCT2 never uses FLAC, the files are tagged in a way that the Waves never were. People always mention how much they like the carousel music, so why not give it to them in a way that actually has the name of the song they're listening to?

Clearly people want music. Just look at the OP.

My tool is better in just about every way. Nothing stopping you from making MP3 copies afterwords, and you can read the batch source yourself instead of trusting a random EXE.

>>1918168
>banked turn after the lift hill
no excuse for that.
also what >>1918237 said. That spot hurts to look at. Other than that, it's pretty cool.

>>1917065

>>1917065

if i have to pretend i have autism like everyone else likes to do on 4chan, then i would complain about some flowerbeds not having fences around them. you really want shitty kids fucking those up? also some of the edges of the park need fences. WHAT IF SOMEONE FELL OFF? YOUR PARK RATING WOULD BE TERRIBLE!

but seriously it looks really good for an attempt at a "nedesings" type park, and i just might get bored enough to try it myself

>>1912471
>better than RCT3
>RCT3

Wait, is that the biggest seller? I always keep wondering why they aren't saying RCT in general or at least mention 2 with that since the fanbase is bigger.

>>1912471
>You can save up enough money to buy the other plots and build your own huge park completely on your own.

That just sounds obtuse. It's like they were planning on making it their SimCity, but when they found out what EA did they implemented this.

How does one do offline missions under this setup?

Anyone has good scenario names?
I downloaded pretty much everything off the links in the OP, but there are just too many to check, and plenty are really just shitty /v/ jokes. Or won't load.

Jesus fuck, fuck off already, here's the fucking batch source if you really fucking need it. I just converted it into an exe so it wouldn't look like I'm a complete asshat with no experience whatsoever with coding.

And here's a FLAC version, just for YOU.

I always make banked turns out of lift hills for some reason on Woodies, because Son of Beast was somewhat like that, but you're right, the segment does make the train rather slow.

>>1920149

>>1920058
Corner holes cause guests to stack up as they wait for others to finish the hole. It's best used as the first hole to avoid this problem.

>>1920058
>>1920185
Not only that, but who plays the hole is not first in first out, so guests can get stuck there for a while and get pissed.

>>1920185

>>1914545
The train on the second hill is taking up two block brakes anon.

Why nobody plays rct3?

>>1920526
Because RCT2 is better and doesn't run like chunky, shit-streaked ass.

Yeah, I would've told her about queue lines personally, but it's been years since I've played too. I think I did suggest them to her when she first started playing, but she went for the pavements for their cosmetics. I couldn't even remember the benefits of queue lines at this point, so I didn't really mention it. Either way, she's been looking at the thread with me, so she's seen everything you guys have said.

You know, I don't think I can actually add 4,200 feet of track to this thing and keep it viable.

>>1922397
Cut an inversion or two and add a bunch of terrain curves?

>>1921134
Pink/10

>>1922460
Nah, I don't think that'll cut it. 10,500 feet is a fucking long ride -- think of building a fucking huge roller coaster, then adding another half of a ride to that. It's a challenge, but it's not too ridiculously hard.

I think I'll go with the plain old twister coaster instead.

>>1922469
>tfw park rating falls under 200
>get it back up to 700 in two months by deleting a pathway people got stuck on

fucking simplicity city

It seems like I can get 9366 peeps at max, then it just stopped spawning new ones. Also the game glitching out hard as seen on the very right. It still runs smooth when not focused on the pile of people, when focused, speed drops down to about 2-4 fps. Also, Balloon-popping action!

>>1922575
And I have no clue why the park rating is 999, probably also a glitch.

>>1922575
If they didn't have balloons you could probably spawn more.

>>1923915
Yep.

>>1923905
I hear rumors it's going to be converted into a floorless coaster.

I guess it would be better than them replacing it with something that isn't a coaster, but that seems kind of boring, imo.

>>1923905
Well, it's a good thing I got a chance to ride it this season.

It's probably for the best, though. It was aging really badly.

>>1923905
>mfw getting calf cramps on that ride
the same thing happened when I went on the Riddler, anyone know how to avoid it?

>>1923905
Here's my thoughts:
Mantis in its current state is going away. However, I've been reading that floorless sitdown trains will be put in and the ride will be repainted and renamed.

So yes, the Mantis name is going away but the ride will still be there.

>>1923872
At least the inverted coaster was saved, from two dead parks no less.

>tfw it's fucking impossible to get good ratings from a multi-dimension coaster

>>1923848
>>1923870
Weld cutters. It's how RMC removes the old track. In a way it's not surprising that it caught fire that way but I wonder if there are other methods for removing the old track.

>>1924272
4Ds are a pain, especially since you have to manually set the seat rotation. At least RCT3 has ZacSpins so you don't have to worry about that.

The worst though are those robocoasters in RCT3 (the coasters with the robotic arms). Fuck those.

>>1924272
>4D, inverted, flying, LIM, and shuttle coasters are all fucking garbage in RCT

>>1924273
Seat rotation has no effect on ratings though so it's pretty much purely for visuals.
That said, I probably haven't built a proper 4d coaster for years.

>>1923774
goddammit I planned on doing that as soon as I heard about it. Should've zero clearanced in a few of the flame objects too for added effect

>>1924507
From what I've read Vekoma's wooden coasters are ridiculously smooth, for the fact they're A) wooden and B) made by Vekoma.

To be fair though Vekoma does have some good rides. It's just that they're lost in a sea of awfulness.

>>1924519

>Also another game which was focused on building Roller Coasters but was really basic and crappy, can't remember the name.
Roller Coaster Factory? Ultimate Ride?

>>1925814
It could've been Roller Coaster Factory but I'm not sure. I lent it to a friend back in the day and never asked fir it back.

>>1925814
Ultimate Ride was a slightly more customizable roller coaster builder than RCT3. Trouble was it could only do roller coasters.

Back when I was a kid I liked it more because it didn't give a lick about physics and even had a button to 'force' the track together if the pieces were close enough.
So many Euthanasia coasters, corkscrewing helixes, and 800mph Volcano drops.

>>1925830
>So many Euthanasia coasters, corkscrewing helixes, and 800mph Volcano drops.
Yeah, that's pretty much what Ultimate Ride was good for. Ridiculous coasters with boosters on every section of track.

For more "serious" stuff, I always used Hyper Rails. Really wish it had come with more coaster types, though. The interface was pretty good, even if sometimes a little difficult to work with.

>>1925804
>TPW
>fucking shite
It's not that bad.

>>1925485
Aside from the logistics pathways, it doesn't seem like it has anything new or interesting going for it.

Best case scenario, it'll be a well-polished and fun game that will help renew interest in the genre.

Worst case scenario, it'll just end up a shitty rehash of shit we've already seen a million times before.

>>1925485
I'm hoping they polish up coaster construction and add a lot of types.

I'd love an RCT-type building system that doesn't suffer from the arbitrary limitations that Chris and co. put on so many coasters.

>>1925862
Just imagine it, an air powered coaster that isn't a generic ring.
Magical.

>>1925714
Well good thing that I designed purely as a prebuilt track as the original was partially underground.

>>1926581
What about the /v/ pack?

>>1926581
>octagon park
How did I forget that.
Took me like 20 -30 years ingame to complete.

>>1926608
I dunno about that, I recall Final destination being a fun, tricky one to complete and some of the parks are intentionally near impossible to complete.

>>1926608
>Has anyone actually completed all of the game's scenarios?

I thought anon meant the vanilla ones. Only tried /v/ pack once and uninstalled it because there was so much shit to wade through to find the nice ones. (personal preference, I just like having no expansion objects and something realistic to work with)

Never thought I'd say a roller coaster video gave me feels but this one did:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAikaXy-Uyc

So guys...

I'm planning a roadtrip across the States in a few months and I plan on doing nothing but theme parks. My plan is to start in LA and that's as far as I've gotten. If I have unlimited time and money, what are the essentials to see?

>>1927072
What month? Most parks are closed in the winter aside from California/Texas/Florida

>>1927072
>If I have unlimited time and money
Cedar Point, Six Flags' big three (Magic Mountain, Great America, Great Adventure), King's Island, Knoebel's, and Six Flags New Englad would be my ideal road trip.

>>1927082
Summer months probably. I may leave it till next year.

>>1927047
Eh, fair enough. I guess it's the music that did it.

>>1927072
SFMM is a definite one; I'd say Disneyland as well, but you can substitute it for Magic Kingdom in Florida. Cedar Point and the other 2 big SF parks are recommended, at least for their coaster content. I'd also stop by either one of the three here: Herhseypark, Dorney Park, or Knoebels. Personally, I'd lean towards Hershey since there are more coasters, but Knoebels has Phoenix and Flying Turns.

Further south you have King's Dominion, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and Carowinds. KD has Intimidator 305 as its centerpiece, in addition to some other stellar rides in Dominator and Grizzly, as well as having some more unique rides such as Avalanche (the only Mack bobsled coaster in the US), Shockwave (the only Togo standup operating in the US), and Woodstock Express (a surprisingly good compact wooden coaster). Carowinds is getting Fury 325 built as well, so there's that.

Florida has Busch Gardens Tampa, Disneyworld, and Universal Studios; all of which are great parks.

Continuing on...

>>1927132
>Herhseypark, Dorney Park, or Knoebels
why is Pennsylvania so based

>>1927134
The US is really the promised land of amusement parks.

>>1927132 continued
I've only been to Disneyworld, and while the coaster selection isn't great, it's still fucking Disneyworld; you will have fun. That said it is pricey.

Towards the northern part of the east coast you have Luna Park (Coney Island), which I think is a must see since it's fucking Coney Island. Plus, the Cyclone is getting retracked - which means it won't try to kill you (as much).

Lake Compounce up in Connecticut is another good park; I plan to head there next summer to check out Boulder Dash and Wildcat. Truth be told, there isn't much in New England aside from Lake Compounce, Canobie Lake Park, SFNE, and Quassy, but they're all charming in their own ways, and SFNE has some great rides. The weakest of the four here though I think is SFNE, since it isn't one of Six Flags' main parks. It does have Bizarro and Wicked Cyclone however. Of the parks in New England, I suggest going to Lake Compounce and SFNE.

One more thing; don't forget about Six Flags' other big park (really, big 4), Six Flags over Texas. That, and you have the coasters in Vegas (though I'd skip Manhattan Express) and Lagoon in Utah.

>>1927149
Definitely; I would love to go to Japan and visit their non-Disney or Universal parks (at least, those wouldn't be my priority) just to ride some jet coasters. Nagashima Spa Land looks to be a great starting place, since it's essentially "Cedar Point: The Japanese Version," but some other parks as well like Nasu Highland or Mitsui Greenland.

That said, the US is the mecca of amusement parks; even with China putting up a shitton of parks at least we have a bunch classic ones like Kennywood, Knoebels, Lake Compounce, and Luna Park as well as the Cedar Fair, Six Flags, Busch, and Disney parks.

>>1927072
If you skip Cedar Point, you're missing out on one of the best. They have a 50 year old wooden coaster, the world's first hyper, giga, and strata coasters, and a lot of really nice rides.
>>1927178
There's a lot of foreign rides I'd love to go on. Quite a few in Europe, like the Pepsi Max Big One. I've always been fascinated by that since I played the Blackpool map in RCT1.
There's too many good international rides to mention.

Have you bowed and offered thanks to our Lord and Savior today, /vr/ct?

The anti rollback sounds like a large hinged bar just dropping after each notch. It's hilarious.

Videos of Chinese parks always give me the feels, because I know that 99.9% of the Chinese people will never be able to visit those parks shown, either they can't afford it or aren't privileged enough to visit.

Man, Japan was amazing, I want to go back so much. Probably the most amazing country to me as a technocrat, those dystopian looking cities mang, amazing.

>>1927765
I don't think it's that bad. The problem with the park with the derelict coaster is that a better park opened nearby and everyone is going there.

North Korean parks on the other hand I'd say you're right.

>>1927747
Well that's basically what it is.

>technocrat

reevaluate all the choices you've ever made

>>1928804
Usually there's some tension on it though so it "clicks" down as soon as its clear of the notch. That was just a thunk of metal - not significantly more energy than just gravity.

>Pepsi Max Big One
I'm so pissed with that, I travelled from the South of England right up to Blackpool but I got whiplash on The Grand National before I could get on Pepsi Max and had to return home soon.

Maybe the wrong word, technology-loving mit fit better. Technophile? That sounds dirty.

I haven't played RCT in months, what's the best way to get back into it?

>>1928963
Double-click the shortcut.
Fucking pussy.

Honestly, the Big One's aged pretty badly. It's worth a ride seeing as at one point it was a world record holder, but it's not something to be too disappointed about missing.

Now, the Wild Mouse? THAT's the coaster to go for at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. This thing is ridiculous.

>>1929156
Really? I've ridden a few Arrow rides, they all seemed good considering how old they were.

>>1929856
I dunno, Even Magnum is starting to show its age. It's still fun, don't get me wrong, but it's started to get kind of rough and the restraints on it can really hurt on some of the bunny hills.

>>1929876
Is it more a problem with the trains or the track?
Because the former is a lot more easily fixable than the latter.

>>1929916
A little of both, I think.

Not retro, take your RCT 2 discussion to >>>/vg/

No.

RCT2 is a glorified expansion, you gibbering retard.

>>1929936
More like you're not retro, go to /vg/, newfriend

>>1929982
damn that'd be a fucking great ride if it weren't for the horrific unreliability of hacked chain launches

>>1929983
Could do it with a regular powered launch, though the instant launch would be less satisfying.

>>1929985
well, it comes down to whether you prefer aesthetics or guests who aren't dead

How do you build mouse support structures? I don't see anyway to do it for a mouse that isnt bland rectangular crap.

cute, comfy stats, though I think the yellow clashes a little
