I really like that we can post full park screenshots to /vr/ now.

Why didn't you? or seasons?

>>8042235
I had this shit count as a crash when i tried the beta.

Long stations, block brakes, or just ignore throughput and run 1 train coaster?

>>8042381
Block sections for sure. The top of a chain lift (slope to flat) also counts as a block section.

>>8042241
you know it's not too late to run that theme as a collab park

>>8042381
I go block brakes at every opportunity with a few exceptions. Those being wild mouse coasters, kiddie coasters, and shuttle coasters.

>>8042076
Spaghetti you say?

>>8042381

After work tomorrow I'm going to make an Ultra Mother's Pasta just to fucking BTFO your dumbass prebuilt.
I will blot out the sky. You will be nothing. You think you know pasta? You're store-bought, I'm from-scratch.
The next server can't come soon enough.

>>8044034
yo should I host this map up again sometime? It's still got room in it

>>8046475

>>8046475
Make the ride center on a dome of shame - the spiciest meatball - that fits cleanly overtop of Mom's Spaghetti to overshadow and obscure it from all sides.

>>8046475
Looking forward too it. Always nice to see more good coasters! :)

are we doing a server this weekend fellow anons?

Completed a neat little Dynamite Dunes this afternoon

Ok, made you faggots a new Mom's Spaghetti. Hope you love it because I'm going to spam it on every map from now on.

Don't be a fucking idiot.

>>8051136
it's a meme

>>8050721
You're probably going to actually spam it regardless of what anyone says but I like this design a lot better than the previous one. It's a lot more visually interesting and just a better ride in general. Good job, for real. Make more spaghetti rides.

>>8050721
Please do, I'd love to save the design and help you. It looks amazing!

>>8050721
They look so happy together!

>>8051994
someone make another one to add too it! :D

>>8051764

nah, I was joking about that. Building spaghetti coasters is more fun than just plopping down a prebuilt

Y'all are lucky I never clean my browser history.

>>8053109
Thanks. What map should we do next? Anyone got a favorite scenario we haven't done?

>>8053313
We haven't done Extreme Heights, but I like the trend of custom scenarios we've been keeping.
I'd rather do the custom scenario desu.

>>8053331
extreme heights blows, you can't build anything that's below 9 intensity

>>8053331
I'll scroll through the list and stick with something that looks large and interesting

How about Pratt Falls? We'll have lots of vertical space to work with.

>>8053430
Make sure the objective isn't secretly retarded like Noguchi Park was.

>>8053450
oh that's nice

aight it's up
10 coaster scenario, piece of cake. No bullshit here.

holy shit I can use the elevator without it being a guest-trapping nightmare

>>8053450
it's okay I guess

>>8053564
I'll pop in later

What theme park is complete without classical Roman theming?

>guests entering my line but aren't actually getting in line
why does this happen?

>>8054445
Have you checked the guest thoughts for the ride?

>>8054249
Evergreen Gardens is already a work of art, anything and everything we do to it already makes it worse, but this is a bonus crime.

why did i choose to build this over literally any other coaster type?

>>8054445
I bet there's a fence or something in it

>>8054543
A shame that the 4th dimension has no score effect.

I forgot the connect the double bridge before opening the other side of the park and the guests chose to crowd up in the jumping fountain area while waiting for me to fix this shit.

My beautiful boys. <3

Here's the park after day 1. I love how a lot of the rides take advantage of the landscape.

>>8055407
>Not making the elevator ride part of the cliff / hidden in the cliff

>>8055641
If you make it underground it'll drop the excitement to 0 and nobody will ride it.
Same goes for basically any transport ride.

>>8055663
How about as part of the cliff / intersecting it?

>>8055407
>removing the pasta coasters

>>8055930
Sure buddy, you think that. I know the truth. You don't have to be ashamed about it. ;)

>>8056117
No, you really are missing the point. They do not need to feature in every single park.

>>8054506
Never thought to make Bumbly Beach into a forest of sorts.

>>8055926

>>8056127
>>8055930
you really need to stop replying to them

>>8055669
That's harder than it sounds, the cliffs on this park are near vertical, and the station is 3x3, so it would require a lot of landscaping and it wouldn't look natural.

By the way, Lift 1 has the highest total customers out of any ride in the park.

>>8055669
>>8056683
Can you zero clearance in multiplayer? Set the lift into a notch and let the bottom platform clip in. Dress it up as appropriate.

>>8056752
I hadn't thought of that. It's worth experimenting with.

>>8055663
won't guests ride it no matter what if the ticket price is set to free?

server needs just one more coaster to beat the scenario

>>8056932
Might as well go big with it.
anyway I heard you guys like spaghetti?

also the guests get stuck in this area because of their retarded AI preferring to "go straight ahead" when at intersections

>>8056127
good coasters should be celebrated and spread around :D

>>8057224
now that is fucking NICE

oh yeah here's the save file if anyone wants it. Although the scenario is complete, it still has a little room to build on.

TIP: You can copy and paste your files in Windows Explorer to recreate the same park over and over

>>8057270
also, you should stop spamming them in literally every single public server in the server list.

First time I have tried to make a ride look aesthetically pleasing. I think it came out pretty well.

>>8058157
Looking good, just a shame Sawyer hated Corkscrew coasters

Is the Twister just the "endgame" coaster that has every feature?

>>8058187
Did he say anything of the sort? That's just how those coasters were. Also that is indeed pretty intense even if none of the g-force figures are in red.

>>8058209
Pretty much. The various B&M subtypes were broken out but Twister is the main one.

>>8058209
Yes, and I think RCT2 needs that one coaster from RCT3 Wild that has a ridiculous amount of special elements

>>8058187
Corkscrews aren't that distinct from modern looking steel coasters at RCT's level of detail/zoom, but are actually representing super-old, primitive steel rollercoasters, 1970s and 80s. That's why they're treated as an early-game ride to most parks.

>>8058157
>corkscrew threaded through the loop
fuckin' nice

>>8058209
Most research lists in RCT scenario play imitate real-life coaster development. The Twister coaster's real life counterpart came later than most of the other rides in the game, so you usually end up getting it deep into your research.

>>8059009
my park's researchers had to figure out how to eat/drink/piss?

>>8058103
nah, that's no fun, you need to change it up at least a bit. :)

>>8058108
Just sharing the love. Like the guy with the Alpin Twist coaster. <3

8059182
8059185

So you're intentionally being an obnoxious bastard. Just fuck off.

Elevated starting position so that the station platform goes above paths and the ride can start with descent and climb back up, y/n

>>8059187
How rude! I just like to have fun. :)

>>8059857
You'd think playing the game normally would be fun but everyone strokes differently I guess.

>>8060008
Think it's safe to just ignore him and delete his rides if they appear.

>>8060008
If it wasn't normal to replace saved rides, then they wouldn't have put it in the game. :)

This has to be a fucking troll at this point.

>>8060065
>he's only now finding this out

>>8060090
I'd suspected it beforehand, but the unironic emoticon usage confirms it.

>>8059201
Not always, but often yes. Queue/exit paths passing through even a 1 tile wide platform building is p nice. I like to put them 15ft up and have a short run to the lift hill.

>>8059201
I always put the lift hill at the end of the ride. Let the bastards scream underground, I want unobstructed paths.

>>8059201
elevated station platform so i can have loops and corkscrews go around it

>>8060112
of course dude, did you miss the time he sabotaged the scenario play server? If we stop replying maybe he'll fuck off to /vg/ and find someone else to bother.

>>8059201
elevated platforms are actually good for a lot of things. If you build continuous circuit rollercoasters, having an elevated station means you can have less speed coming back into the station, and the potential to have no brakes failure crashes.

I can't finish my Spiral Coaster in a way where it's possible to path out of it, because I am retarded. It is now decoration. By existing it puts guests in the park and that will have to be its satisfaction in life.

>>8061956
the Rollercoaster Tycoon equivalent of painting yourself into a corner

People shit on Barony Bridge all the time and I just played it for the first time and had a great time. The research order for getting Thrill Rides was utter nonsense, otherwise it was a nice experiment area with elevated paths you could put a system to and couldn't send things underground when they didn't line up, as a challenge. Neat.

>>8062238

>>8062274
There isn't a lot I can say to defend that but it's not as much of a labyrinth as it looks. Looping Coaster 1's queue actually just goes up to the path in a normal way, but I later decided it should be longer to hold more people. Go Karts is still ugly as sin though.

Whenever you have 3 heights of paths at any one location that isn't specifically some kind of tower formation, there is a 99.99% chance that your path setup is an absolute fuckfest and an admission of poor foresight.

>>8062238
Fuck Barony Bridge and fuck the water obscuring my patrol paths.

I miss my loop stacks so much bros...

>>8062726
Loop stacks are tacky and meta

>>8063559
I instantly turn its music off.

I must have missed that.

Is /vr/ moving faster these days? I feel like these threads is pushed down more quickly lately.

This being my first Dingy Slide, I learned a valuable lesson in why some tubes should have roofs.

>>8068328
I'd put roofs on all of the upslopes, fat guests can make them move fast enough to fly off

>>8068328
That ride type being designed to benefit from air time is fucking insane.

Why is everyone better than me at building rides with high excitement

>>8069097

Been working on a 128*128 park for the first time, really liking how it's turning out so far. Fine-tuning a scenario based off the central building, will post when done.

>>8070221

Going for a Pacific north-west environment so I thought pines and cedars would be the name of the game.

I'm glad people are posting screenshots again. I like looking at this game.

>>8070325

Here's one I made earlier. You can probably notice a theme in ideas. Being able to make pleasant and aesthetic parks is part of the reason I picked it up again.

>9/11 Theme Park
kek

I always have cool ideas for parks but I can never see them through to completion. I just have a bunch of unfinished parks and themed areas that I am pretty proud of but none of them are finished.
They always seem way less ambitious at the start and the project gains scope way too quick, like my plot from the plots server (which I will rehost if anyone wants). Maybe I should try building in smaller scenarios and seeing them to completion.

Wish I could get the average speed up a little but overall I am satisfied with this one.

>>8071252
Couldn't you toss in a booster here and there?

Some fat fucks getting on my woodie was enough to post-testing change its intensity to above 10, killing the excitement stat, despite it being barely fast enough to get through the loop on testing and not actually that close to 10.

>>8071484
thanks, murrica

So I am having this issue right now in Millenium Mines for RCT1 where I cannot get a good price for my rides even if I make entry to the park free.
Is this a bug or just part of the scenario?

>>8071616
Is it specifically the old rides? Old rides have trouble getting as much money, unless you pay for a refurbishment.

>>8071783
No it was just any ride. Managed to finish the scenario buy abusing advertising and jacking the park fee to $40.

>>8071798
If the park is BOTH charging entry and charging rides, no matter what the entry price is, guests will only pay a little under 25% of the normal price for any given ride.

>>8070868
Yeah I made that one before I fully learned to take advantage of banks. Rest assured I use em all the time now.

>when you take almost a year to research drinks

>>8072278
fruity ices SHOULD HYDRATE PEOPLE goddamn it

>>8072278
I hope you built nothing but fries stalls in the meantime

>>8072348
Maybe it's actually booze?

>>8071484
your first mistake was using a loop

>>8071901
>>8071798
odds are, the majority of your park guests had already paid to enter, and making park entry free in order to raise prices would still piss them off. The only way to fully shift to full price rides would be to wait until the paid entry guests left or kicked them out yourself by closing the park. That kind of turnover probably would take more time than the scenario would allow.

>>8072348
fruity ices should be popsicles and hydrate people
ice cream should be completely different and fill more hunger than fruity ices

>>8073084
Thinking about it now I could probable have shut the park down at the beginning then reopen it once all the guest left. Besides it was 800 guest after 3 years which is pretty easy.

>>8071484
>nobody wants to ride a rickety rollercoaster immediately after 28 of america's largest specimens just piled onto one train
It's almost logical, although real people don't care about their lives that much.

>>8072278
>not building pizza stalls for their thirst
>why is this even a think i get thirstier after eating pizza

>>8072278
>not building pizza stalls for their thirst
>why is this even a thing i get thirstier after eating pizza

>>8072278
Three Monkeys Park is like that too. What the fuck. Just give me the fizzy drinks.

>>8072278
I'm actually not sure what the purpose of different food/drink types are, can anyone explain that? Do guests all have different favorite foods that you can entice more?

>>8077419
Foods do have different characteristics (some make guests thirsty, some don't produce garbage) but guests don't particularly have a preference.

>>8077419
this >>8077554 and some of them are more profitable. Unless you're actively gunning for Best Food awards you should probably never build Seafood Stalls. Lowest profit to cost margin of anything in the park.

>>8077672
>caring about the profit from food stalls

>>8077714
anon you don't get it i need to jew the guests as much as possible

>>8077672
I think that's mini golf, it costs as much to keep running as a big rollercoaster, can't charge a lot and has low throughput. You lose money by running it.

>>8077772
I was more thinking about stalls, but Minigolf is way too pricey. Circus and Crooked House is pretty shit too, you can't even charge the default price for them, but at least the House never breaks

>>8077772
>>8077821
Mini golf's operating cost has to have been an accident. It's too bad fixing it would be a "guessed intention" type change with no clear point of where it should be.

>>8078323
I think Chris just assumed the running costs of motorized mini-golf props like windmills would still apply to a course that has none.

>>8078323
Mini-Golf’s existence in general is a mistake. At least with mazes you can slap down one of the pre-builts and call it a day.

that's the good stuff

>>8078718
HIS PALMS ARE WEAK

>>8078581
Mini-golf gets worse the more you look at it. You know those corner holes that take guests a longer time to solve than other holes? Apparently, guests stacking up waiting their turn for that hole don't always go in a first-come, first-serve order. They become guest trappers when lots of people are on the ride. If you put it as the first hole, it fixes the problem, but kinda ruins the aesthetic of the ride if the first hole is the hardest one.

Just a dogshit ride overall, but it's there if you need a +1 Ride Count, or if you want to put effort into something small.

>>8078407
they still gotta supply balls and clubs, that has to cost something.

>>8079120
The only real purpose of Mini Golf is an aesthetic ride. It’s perfectly fine in that sense, because I believe in the aesthetic side to RCT. But on a practical level, it may just be worse than Monorail Cycles.

>>8079120
The saddest part of mini golf, to me, is that all hole types are equal. You are not rewarded for putting together a course that has more than the basic hole type, in fact you are punished because they take longer. If Chris was half as interested in this ride as implementing different food stalls for every man, woman and child on earth he'd at least have made the challenging ones proportionally more exciting and rewarded courses that vary the hole type as much as possible.

>>8079308
>>8079294
How much does scenery benefit mini golf?

>>8079120
Any real life parks have minigolf courses? I've been to a handful of them on the east coast but never saw a mini golf course actually connected to the park as an attraction.

>>8079308
>different food stalls for every man, woman and child on earth
>except for people who only drink water

>>8080009
Water is for fountains and jumping around you out of reach

>>8080009
just drink out of the restrooms

>>8079459
Minigolf just doesn't have the capacity to make sense in a large park. Go karts don't really either but they can at least be charged at a premium. The example that comes to mind for me is the small hybrid park - arcade + minigolf + go karts + small attractions + maybe a coaster. I know of a Scandia with a mouse and a Boomers with a wooden coaster.

>>8080918
You use minigolf if you want 3 gentle rides, only have Minigolf left to build, and don't want to diminish the price of the other 2. Its purpose is to appease gentle ride guests until their tastes evolve to wanting to ride something better, so in that way it makes you money even if the ride itself sucks dick at showing direct profit.

You can also just put it underground out of sight and not taking up space, with its exit having no path, to send broke guests to the bottom boundary of the park and make the poors leave. Works just like Maze and you might not have both. The other thing you can exploit about mechanic employees never needing to get into its exit is having it drop people any distance downward as a jank transport ride or just to make a dumb tower of rides more easily.

>>8081093
That post was talking about reality, Anon.

>>8081101
I can't identify reality after finding out some people are playing a version of this game where bumper cars are called dodgems, please forgive me

>>8081124
funnily enough I just went to a themepark where the bumper cars actually were called dodgems. Threw me for a loop, outside of RCT that's the first time I've ever seen anything call them dodgems

>>8081124
That's the British name for them. Fucking ignorant prick.

>>8081273
It was a joke about its goofy british name dude, chill out

It's very frustrating that the ghost test train doesn't work with the cable lift hill. Makes fine-tuning Giga Coasters a real chore. Anyway had a go at making a synchronised Giga as a feature coaster, I had to resort to a few brakes/boosters which I consider slightly cheaty, but it was the only way to make the helixes manageable and the two trains more or less come in on time in the end.

>>8081918
>three times your body weight bearing down on your shoulders or thighs

>>8081963
If Excitement > Intensity it's fine. 8)

>>8081918
just do what I do and cheat the lift into a chain. It overwrites it as a cable lift when you test it for real anyway.

>>8081963
Further proof that gigas are broken as hell, it suffers no penalty for -3.5 g. How do you even neg G that fucking hard anyway? Most of the time when I accidentally get high neg G, it's because I was using vertical track.

>>8081963
I can't imagine being slammed into the restraints at 5g is much more pleasant. Say goodbye to your collar/pelvic bones.

>>8082148
The human body tolerates positive Gs a lot better than negative Gs. 5g positive will push you into your seat. 5g negative will make your eyes bleed. Big difference.

>>8082239
Your park fucking sucks if your guests aren't leaving with the bends.

>>8081325
sorry, I didn't mean to overreact

>>8082131
Do gigas have a smaller lateral G penalty too?

Making the sequel to The Caldera map, which is The Mountain(tm)
My idea is to have only the ring area surrounding the mountain to have land and everywhere else needing to be purchased.
also glaciers are hard.

>>8082239
>5g positive
I chuckled
I haven't experienced anything past 4.0 yet (RPP) but I can tell you that most regular folks get uncomfortable past 0.3-0.5

>>8084207
It looks awesome aesthetically. If the whole thing was the intended play area I'd say it needs more cliffs and ledges because a map sloped like this is normally cancer to build around, but as a park about building on a ring around the mountain, which is a super cool concept, you've already done a great job making that zone look appealing to build on.

>>8084449
>needs more cliffs and ledges
I'll remember that. Right now I set it so I could get a general sense of what I am doing.

>>8084207
Some mesas would be nice to have.
