So, somebody remind me about this Winter contest that is currently underway.

>>2819852
I consider the greatest challenge of this one to just make icy blue not look like shit
I've been trawling NED for mountain crag-like scenery, but nothing has really fit.

>>2820653
Have you ever needed a shit but too autistic to go because someone else is in there? That might not be the case in Anon's park.

I like looping coasters

>>2820674

>>2820134
We'll live, there've been slow times before. But on this note, we need to do something about these lazy ass OPs. Just hiding away everything in a pastebin, including the collab documents and other stuff that keep the thread going, is literally killing activity.

>>2820779
The OP image is pretty shit too.

>>2820781
Well, I don't think that's as big of a problem. But I did like it when we had a 2 post OP usually consisting of one RCT image and one real coaster image.

These are what I have for the contest so far. I think I missed one, please post it again.

Inside 'anon 1' folder is the one anon who posted 3 coasters, Santa's Sleigh, Sub Zero and The Thaw. I believe someone else has done a coaster called Santa's Sleigh which I think I missed.

Fug, post your favorite collab and maybe we'll get a new one going.

>>2820801
>stuff built outside of the square

>>2820802
The supports are fine. The helix, would probably have been better without it.

>>2820134
There's always been slow periods or times where we were all missing. I'm an infrequent regular, visiting every 4-8 months. I heard BlueBalled stopped posting last time I was here. Is that still the case?

I haven't played RCT2 in 10 years.
Can somebody give me tips for coaster design?

>>2820868
Don't build it higher than you need to. A common newbie mistake (way more common than LOL BANK YOUR TURNS) is building a super high and short coaster. Also, remember to bank your turns.

And post some images of what you've built and we'll look at it.

>>2820868
bank your turns.

>>2820868
Scenery is important. It can make a shit looking coaster far better. Realism elements like fencing can help, too.

so how about this?

>>2820897
Not bad. You should have enough momentum for something more than just one turnaround at the end and I don't think you need that long break runs but it's mostly personal preference.

>>2820897
Kinda boring. Needs more ramps and shit.

>>2820897
String someone tossed on the floor/10

>>2820910
>using ign rating

>>2820897
You seem to be good enough at designing coasters. Inspired by your coaster, this is how I built it. Then there's scenery which is always important if you want to build a really good coaster.

>>2820779
>>2820787
I think there were complaints about our OPs taking up to much space.

>>2821080
By other posters on /vr/? I feel like that could be solved. Either by having 3 posts or by dividing stuff among pastebins to reduce size, like having one exclusively for downloads for example. And keeping the most important links, collab document, OpenRCT, the Wiki for example, in the post itself.

>>2821080
link to more story about that coaster?

>>2821087
>By other posters on /vr/?
Jea.
>having 3 posts or by dividing stuff among pastebins
That could work, you should prepare it for the next thread.
>>2821114
Sorry it's all I got on it. I didn't do any searching though.
http://rcdb.com/1870.htm

>>2821125
I'll do that once this one's getting closer to death.

>>2821080
Anon who compiled the original pastebin here: I did that because when I attempted to start a thread one time, it came up with a spam warning. I wasn't sure which part of the post tripped it, so I stuffed all in that pastebin.

In hindsight, that probably wasn't a good idea.

Don't worry. Once Roller Coaster Tycoon World comes out there will be a whole new influx of people.

>>2820653
>>2820657
it's an old cap but iirc I persistently had 100+ people who needed to use the bathroom.

Granted, that was in a park of 5000+ but it was bugging me. They were mostly breaking even at 10c / use

>>2820779
There was a link to something in the old OP which triggered the spam filter.

>>2820790
I did, but it wasn't a contest entry.
>I believe someone else has done a coaster called Santa's Sleigh

I think I went a bit overboard on my contest entry. It's become something like christmas bobsleigh spaghetti. It's also technically two coasters, but it used to be a single entity, though it turned out to be so bloody long, it couldn't get a good rating anymore.

Probably not that bad for a first time entry, anyway.

>>2822393

Here's with stats. Had to make a seperate picture, as the stat boxes kept getting in the way of the coasters.

>>2822393
>>2822395

>>2822393
>>2822395

Added... but the fuck is up with the resolution, anon? Could you get a better picture with the ingame screenshot tool?

Alright. Good to know, thanks.

I think I am done with this thing.

>>2820678
That looks pretty cool dude

>>2822440
How many screen-shots did you fuse to create that? Did you know you can simply do a Giant screen-shot in ORCT2?

I just found my old RCT1 CD which I haven't seen in about ten years.

Today is a good day.

Rate my duellers. They stay together except for the last turn where i got too lazy to keep them together.

Start of a new attempt. I just discovered these cozy snow-covered roofs with ice picks.

>>2822486
that first drop makes me cringe

>>2822487
>a woodie in the snow

>>2822486
it's shit

>>2822481
Just 2. Giants are a pain to work with and end up being like 8mb large. It's easier to just fuse 2 or 3 images together imo.

>>2822542
You know you could just crop from a giant one?

>>2822440
Awesome.

>>2822468
no? okay then,

>>2822468
>>2822596
Check the collab spreadsheet, you should be able to find one.

>>2822487
Progress... I might make it bigger or something

rate and hate

>>2822694
Looks good, might make the red or green light blue or white too make it look like there's ice/snow on the coaster. Might make it blend in a little more.

>>2822401

I've made some small improvements while I was at it and only converted the BMPs from the ingame screenshots to PNGs this time. Hopefully the quality will now be up to standard.

>>2822832

And once more with the stats.

I'm still kind of sad I couldn't manage to build a nice looking station building with all that track in the way, but hopefully the nice stats make up for that.

>>2822836
>>2822832
Did you test that thing yet with passengers in the cars?

Because it'd be really funny if it crashed because of the extra weight.

>>2822858

There's nothing wrong with it, even when loaded. The only things that give me trouble are the queue times and the constant reminders that the trains haven't made it back to their respective stations yet.

Have you praised the god of modern coasters yet today?

>>2823219
Speaking of Herr Schwarzkopf, Magic Mountain is finally removing the godawful shoulder restraints on Revolution.

I´ll enter this 13x13 coaster for the contest. Initially wanted it to be 10x10 but i started a bit too high for that.

Currently habbening

still a WIP, happy with the layout for now but I'm making a qt little town and some supporting rides

Looks good, anon. You want it in the contest? Station's really good. Love what you did with that little hut and fire.

>>2824781
oh, yeah
meant to say that this was my entry, sorry

>>2824781
You know it's pretty difficult to get a decent intensity to excitement ratio on a woodie, right?

>>2824853
I know. Just fucking around because there's 0.02 difference in rating.

Is there any reason not to get the Steam version of RCT2?

>>2824910
If you don't have anything against Steam, not really.

>>2824916
Cool. Does OpenRCT work with it? I am not using it now because it tends to crash, often but still.

Im not sure why I care since its only $3 and honestly I would pay $3 just for Steam to do screenshots for me

>>2824927
Steam is literally just a downloader for RCT2, you don't even need to start Steam to run it and there's no DRM or anything. Works with OpenRCT.

>>2824927
https://openrct2.com/download-demo

I want something the feels like skiing down a slope, but I seem to be more apt at making pattern-bound rollercoaster than ones that actually would be fun to ride.

>>2824947
It would be better if it was a mini bike ride but those are limited to like 4mph I think,

>>2824947
Maybe a waterslide sunk 1 level into the cliff with steeplechase trains?
Could have the exit at the bottom and entrance at the top.

>>2825065
>>2825738
Steeplechase would be fun. Might be more akin to pic related. However also absolutely scary.

>>2826242
It's loads of fun. Alpine coasters, especially the ones that don't limit speed, are a real thrill. In a regular coaster everything is safe. But if you fuck around on one of these alpine coasters/slides you jut wipe out and get rekt. I was on one that had a plastic track, and it started raining a little. Brakes didn't really work because of the wet track, almost shit my pants. Still was awesome.

Is it a LIM? Is it a Hyper? No! It's a Corkscrew!

>>2826304
And then there's this fucker here.

>>2826304
it is a hyper you lying nigger i can see the train icon

>>2826309
In that scenario, the game gave me the Corkscrew Coaster, but without the Corkscrew trains. At the beginning it only gave me the HyperCoaster trains. The Corkscrew trains where unlocked some time after finishing that coaster.

>>2826307
>inb4 shit lift
Well yeah, that is a really shitty lift.

>>2826315
I know and I'm not proud of it. But couldn't think of another way of doing it since the terrain, the tram and the woody where in the way.

can i post some rct 3

>>2826380
Can you?

>>2826386
dad get out

>>2826380
As long as you don't expect to much response.

>>2820134
Where elsa could we go to talk about big rides?

>>2826380
I think there's like 3 people in /vr/ who like RCT 3. I mean, it's like 12 years old now so I think it'd be fine to post it.

>>2826259
>Breaking
I've never been on one that required that exept to avoid hitting people from behind or getting yourself wedged under some foam blocks at the end. We don't have plastic or concrete tracks here though.
Also pic related exists. Can't derail that

>>2826640
The one in your picture brakes itself when the car moves too fast. The most boring kind of alpine coaster imo

>>2826653
>>2826640

>that lifthill tho

>>2826653
>brakes itself
That sucks. The one I rode didn't.

So OpenRCT have fixed Launched Freefall ratings. I don't know what to feel about this, feels like the end of an era.

Nice.

>>2826908
what ratings?

>>2826908

>Feature: Option to scale game display for better compatibility with high DPI screens

Hoooooooray.

>>2826917
When using the freefall mode the ratings are still determined from launch speed. The height of the tower doesn't matter.

>>2826924
neat

Looks like a new stable release of OpenRCT2 is out.

>mfw uncapping fps for the first time

>>2827475
looks even better when you zoom in

So if I buy RCT2 on steam and use ORTC2, it's not gonna track my time is it?

>>2828059
jep

>>2828059
As long as you use Steam to start OpenRCT it will.

>>2828104
nah

>>2828143
Ehrm, yes it will? I have over 300 hours tracked on OpenRCT.

>>2828220
How? I have OpenRCT in Steam and it doesn't track the time.

>>2828223
I downloaded OpenRCT, placed the files in Steams Roller Coaster Tycoon folder and everything just werks.

I really wish Steam RCT had achievements.

Why not add an inline achievement system on ORCT?

>>2829050
It'll probably show up sooner or later. But they should and will hopefully focus on completing the main game first.

>>2829349

>>2829349
It looks exactly how I imagined it, just with less pyramids and fires but more chocolate.

>>2829352
i was on a friend's server but it's closed now
it's usually unprotected, click "fetch servers" every once in awhile to see if it's up

>>2829341
That little bump right before the second loop might be causing a problem.

>>2828223
What worked for me was copying and pasting everything from OpenRCT2 to the Steam RCT2 directory and then renaming openrct2.exe to rct2.exe and deleting the old rct2.exe.

You can start the game from inside Steam this way and it does log hours.

hey guys, still working away at my park

more of my mine themed area with a fun steel coaster

just past the mine area I've got some hills and it looks like the perfect place to have a steeplechase

here I tried to figure out how to make something interesting without disturbing the forest underneath too much

Added a monorail for guests to get around right from the entrance

>>2830394
Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder, then.

>>2830401
Of course. I made it look intentionally ugly. It's supposed to be a meteor site/industrial dump but I got bored halfway through.

>>2830373
What makes a coaster a Vekoma-like coaster? I don't know that much about coaster.

>>2830408
I believe corkscrew coasters. It's either the track style or the train style, not sure desu.

>>2830408
Vekoma is a former company who built coasters. The quite famous corkscrew model was built by the two companies Arrow and Vekoma.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vekoma

>>2830445
>former company
You wish.

>>2830460
Oh fuck, is it Arrow that bankrupted?

>>2830467
Yes.
Wasn't it because they got sued by Six Flags over X?

>>2830445
I know that Vekoma is a coaster builder company, just like Arrow and Togo. What I don't know is what differentiates a Vekoma from an Arrow and how to build look-alikes in RCT.

Its not a Vekoma, but I made a nice little Arrow a while back. I made in playing the Radiation World scenario, otherwise it'd just be called Demon probably. Inspired mostly by Carolina Cyclone.

Would anyone be up for a classic Arrow/Vekoma collab? Standard 2x2 collab, only Corkscrews, SLCs, (Compact Inverted), Boomerangs (Inverted Shuttle) and Flying Vekomas(Lay-down Coaster). And possibly a Hypercoaster, I guess.

>>2831020
speaking of collabs, is that desert collab ever happening?

>>2832065
A B&M would typically be a big coaster from the Twister family, a Flying Coaster, Dive Coaster and probably a couple of others. If you want to build them realistic, watch a couple of POVs on Youtube and try to build something similar, you can always post them here in /vr/ct and ask for critique.

>>2831706
Sure

>>2832487
>Dragon Khan and Shambala
God how do I love those two. (even tho it may be just because that's the only serious park I've ever been to)

I've read the wikipedia page on "Roller coaster elements" and tried my luck at some of the things there mentioned. Pic related is the result of it. The "Norwegian loop" is ugly as shit, but functional. Also, I don't get the difference between "Batwing" and "Cobra roll".

>>2832536
In RCT terms, a cobra roll is half loop> half corkscrew> half corkscrew> half loop. A batwing is half corkscrew> half loop> half loop> half corkscrow.

>>2832536
cobra roll on the left, batwing on the right

>>2832540
>>2832542
Many thanks, now I get it.
(someone should add RCT pictures into the wikipedia to explain some of the things there)

>>2832536
Booster hills are quite rare but they do exist. I usually spread out the boosters over the whole hill to make it look more even. Your coaster looks good, you could probably have use longer break runs to make the slowdown more gentle. Also, always post stats :)

>>2832546
Will try that tomorrow.
Didn't post stats cause they where nothing out of this world. E:7 with the normal Twister trains. 7.5 with the floor-less ones. Intensity was over 8.

And I know Booster hills are not common, but wanted to try one.

How do I get people to keep going on my rides? They stay really busy at first but after a few minutes people stop coming to them. They just all stay on the paths and complain about how its too crowded.

>>2836185
Peeps do lose interest over time. A new and flashy ride will draw more people and they will pay more.

>>2836194
Yeah, but in some scenarios, the speed at which guest loose interest is just insane.

>>2836194
Removing one track segment and putting the exact same one back in usually does the trick.

>>2836446
I think this has been mentioned here before, but I just came back from watching The Thing again and its a great concept. How to communicate it in RCT is another matter, and I don't have the energy to mess around with prototyping scenery at the moment.

Maybe a burning ruined facility with a chaotic coaster snaking through at high speed.

>>2836648
What about several different coasters running through the same facility to mimic the Thing's ability to transform?

>>2836702
What about a bunch of different types of coasters that all use the same track, so its hard to differentiate between the different coasters with the exception of the trains

Going by the lateral G's it's a turn somewhere. You look like you know to bank your turns so I'd guess it's a small sloped curve at like 60-70km/h since you can't bank them on Mine Coasters.

>>2839421

>>2839427
this is awesome! I want to do something similar in my park now

>>2839421
>>2839427
That looks nice anon! However, it looks kinda awkward with flat to steep into vertical at the first drop.

Is it possible to save a coaster with hacked track in OpenRCT2?

>>2836995
n-none of the colors are right

i love it but the colors are all wrong

>>2839421
What's the map/scenario? If custom, upload plox.

>>2832585
I really need to get back into this game, I'm running out of roller coasters to post.

preview of winter coaster

>>2840924
This looks excellent, I love the themeing.

When will real skiing have loops?

I haven't played RCT in a while and I forget, what prices should you set for gentle/thrill rides and rollcoasters again? I used to have a system for it but I've forgotten.

>>2840936
For every single ride in the game guests will pay up to the excitement rating of the ride. For example, a 2.3 excitement gentle ride will go for a max of $2.30 a ticket, though it is usually best to make the price 10c less than the excitement rating, as sometimes guests will complain.

Launched freefalls scale the maximum ride price to their intensity. Popular thrill rides such as go karts and motion sims can be jewed for almost double their excitement (to a certain limit) until their popularity fades

>>2840954
not true, I have gotten away with charging $10+ on E8 coasters

>>2823790
I don't get it, it says she died after getting off... What does that have to do with the new restraints?

>>2840924
Looks great!

>>2841051
Read the post again, anon did not say anything that your post contradicts. A coaster will scale very well and you can often go way way higher than E.

Anon who made the original OP with the links, the collab sheet, etc., here: I agree. I don't think it's a good idea.

Look at all the other general threads: the DOOM one and all the others on /vg/. They all copy-pasta the same info, with little tweaks and updates here and there, on 1-3 posts. That's how generals work and I just copied the same proven idea.

I mean, I don't blame you for trying to improve/update the OP: keeping generals can be a tough job. Actually, I'm grateful you and all the other anons kept alive /vr/ct generals.

How'd I do for a first OpenRCT2 Park?

Be as ruthless as possible pls c:

It's that time of the year, help me name my coasters!

>>2841610
>Trees: The Park

>>2841610
6/10, need some work.

You should try to introduce some more variation. Trees are nice but use more than one or two kinds.

Multiple/split lifthills are generally frowned upon.

The mountain and Flume is really nice.

>>2841610
>>2841627
Just noticed that the Log Flume also need some minor work. There's a turn directly after a drop, that would never realistically work.

>>2841610
That mountain is like 100 feet tall. Why is there ice on it? Are you stupid?

My favorite ride is the gigantic empty fucking space with nothing in it you idiot.

I can't see anything with all these trees in the way holy shit.

The uniqueness of the water feature ponds is astounding too. It's like they're all the same. Oh wait, they are.

The queue line for the dodgems is too short. It needs to be at least 20 times longer so everyone can spend at least two birthdays waiting to ride it.

The reverser coaster is nice.

>>2841612
I'm really digging the mini train coaster. Not really feeling the other two

>>2841612

I love mine train coaster 1. Nice job on that, man.

>>2841648
Oh and as for the name, The Comfy Express

>>2841610
You can edit ride selection in OpenRCT to put some thrill rides in

>>2841612
I'm terrible with names, but I love those coasters. Would ride/10.

Is there some kind of idiot's guide to setting up a a OpenRCT multiplayer game? I feel as if I've tried everything and literally fuck all works when I try to set up a game with a friend.

>>2841612
I think Gigawatt would be a good name for the Giga coaster.

>>2841646
It's a rather small park, and the mountain was added in after the majority of the park was built already so we could either go with the mountain being manmade or me being stupid.

I did mention that the empty space was going to be dedicated to either thrill rides (which weren't in the scenario) or a wooden rollercoaster. If you want I can upload an update. In the meantime, have my best Wooden coaster to rip and tear into:http://imgur.com/a/PJkoM

I was going for a sense of uniformness with the water features, and there was only one actual water feature in the park scenery list, but I'll improve those if you really want.

R8?

>>2842427
>hrk at end of launch
>unbank-bank in first turn
>weird vertical hrk in hill
The negative g spikes happen in the vertical to steep transition. Using the steep to flat pieces to cap the hills means the train has to have more energy when passing through the vertical to steep, meaning harsher negative gs. It's better to make the peak tighter.

Otherwise it's k.

>>2842427
Quite frankly, it's shit

Preview part 2, halfway done

>>2842173
It would be a natural run if I deleted the gates and fences, but it would look kind of empty

>>2842580
>that terrain use
Fucking sexy

>>2842580
at least call it something ski related

>>2828223
Download openrct, place the files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rollercoaster Tycoon 2\, rename RCT2.exe to something else and rename openrct.exe to RCT2.exe. Then open RCT2 in Steam.

It's kinda winter-ish

>>2842598
For a moment I thought you hacked the return track to be on chairlift tracks.
Looks great, its nice to see bobsled tracks that are more spread out.

>>2842598
this is awesome m80

>>2842598
Looks good, though you should build a path up to the entrance since peeps are retarded and can't into transport rides.

>>2842178
I'd say that it imply that for whatever newly built ride, whatever the kind, guests will pay the amount equal to the E or higher.

>>2842427

There is a path, it's just hidden.
There's a staircase going down next to the boblsled entrance, it ends in the grey house together with the chairlift and sled.

What? Coloured diamond shapes are used all over Europe to indicate difficulty.

>>2843453
So if someone isn't American, they're automatically European?

Idiot.

>>2843453
Not in the areas I went skiing. There are black slopes, but they're not represented by a diamond.

>>2843459
Well then anon should have said non westerner. And please try to keep toxicity and shitposting out of /vr/.

>>2843464
To be honest, it was a while since I were in the alps so the diamond shape could possibly be me remembering wrong. Where have you been?

Sometimes I just like to make 2x2 squares on my own to practice, since it's been a while since I play this game.
Also, how to make buildings that don't look like shite? I can never seem to find good-looking building material.

bottom of the ski-coaster

>>2843980
that's a comfy square tho.
What I find being a great help to go from shit to mediocre is add more detail. You can add much more on that roof, but keep a theme.

Pic slightly related, I will never not be proud of this square featuring a shit castle made mediocre by adding more detail.

>>2844451
>mediocre

>>2845848
Well excuse me for not being [insert namefag]. I'm only trying my best and I'm still proud of my result.

Pic related, another square I'm proud of, both for the scenery and the ride times matching to the second.

>>2846094
Sorry m8, I meant it's way beyond mediocre. You may not be QB Mac but to be perfectly honest I'm just as impressed by that castle as the first time I've seen you post it, so I guess what I'm trying to say is good job, guy.

>>2844451
I tried
did slightly better this time, still looks like a warehouse but now it has a roof

>>2844451
I wish I could do scenery even half as good as that. I usually just spam dinosaurs everywhere like a five year old would.

We postan squares now?

>>2846406
Very good job! I really like those lanted roof bits,they give it a refreshing feel.
The last thing I could tell you is look closely t other buildings, see what tricks they use. And don't be afraid to make the building bigger than it needs to be, so you can play with the walls.

>Random Terrain Generation

Doesn't this exist? You just hold down the map button in the edit part of the creator.

>>2847389
>Random Terrain Generation in Scenario Editor
Scratch that, I'm retarded and this already exists.

>>2847389
>The ability to set park entry fee and ride fees, aka not have them mutually exclusive
This is also possible.

>>2847398
In the scenario editor, when I select the pay split all I get is "Free park entry / Pay per ride" and "Pay to enter park / Free rides" with no other option of having people pay for both. If it's just something I'm missing I'd be very happy.

>>2847405
You have to use cheats to do it, you can change to pay-by-ride once you're in game and the entrance fee will stay.

>>2847370
Android compatibility.

>>2847370
More ride elements for Dive Coasters without hacking. And some kind of real accelerators, not just a hacked chain lift.

>>2847412
I see, so more of a work around. My concern with that would be how visitors react to it. In RCT1 I remember visitors not wanting to pay much for rides if the entry fee was high, and paying more for rides if it was low/free. If I change the scenario this way I get the feeling that visitors will be forced to pay the entry fee and that it wouldn't affect their idea of ride value, but admittedly I haven't tried yet.

>>2848978
it's a lazy and easy solution to getting my coaster downwards without increasing speed too much, especially with these rinky dinky bobsleighs that will launch to the fucking moon at the slightest touch

>>2847918
But... Dive machines don't have rolls in vanilla.

heres some more bullshit

>>2848867
You are using open RCT2. Stitching is obsolete
>>2849151
Yes he wanted to show that he wants Immelmanns

>>2849331
Aaaand we're back to "Immelman: The Ride" as criticism.

>>2849445
It's no criticism. It's the suggested name.

>>2848870

I can add it but I sorta specified one coaster, but it is kinda vague. I'd add it since there's not many entrants but if anons are opposed I won't.

quick question here, how does the synchronize with nearby stations button work?
I want these two coasters to sync together, but when I hit the check the box on both rides, they just sit there and do nothing. Do they both have to have the exact same ride time or something? It's only a 1 second difference.

>>2849968
They need to be right next to each other iirc.

>>2849991
well time to put in a suggestion for openRCT2 then.

>>2849968
The front most station (the one with the lights) needs to be next to each other. You can space it out with a dummy station though iirc

>>2850014
does height difference matter? Could I just throw a station underground and have it register?

>>2850021
height needs to exactly match the park entrance or it won't work

What do you think of the Reddit RCT community?

New Element?
Anyone else I'm missing?

>>2850851
I've switched over to Reddit for music and most vidya since there's little to no shitposting to sift through over there, but when it comes to RCT I like /vr/ better. Then again I haven't paid much attention to r/rct because of this so I can't really say much more than that.

>Wished features for ORCT2

-I guess being able to turn the entrance's entrance/exit's exit would be nice.
-Pre-built coaster elements. Simply selecting "Cobra Roll" to build it.
-Clicking on a greyed out Special track could tell you what kind of track piece it needs to transition from. Sure, after playing a couple hours one memorizes it, but it could be useful for newer players.
-A new track piece that would go from banked to inverted, a la in-line twist.
-A "Take screenshot of full ride" button in coasters. Just like taking a Giant Screenshot and cropping it down, but done automatically by the game. Also being able to have the stats window being shown.
