Finally finished up the park I’d been working on. I would have extended along the spit and added a few rides there but thought it would be worth leaving a few patches of nature within the park itself. The germ of the idea was the synchronised Freefall Reverser extending underground and out of the park anyway.

Feel free to provide some feedback on the scenario if you get a chance to try it. It’s my first time properly messing around with the settings and the invention order is probably a little uninspired. The interest rate may also be too high ($350,000 @ 10%) but I wanted to make sure the initial difficulty ramped up a bit to compensate for the existing coasters and infrastructure.

it's based off of Arrow Dynamics hypercoasters, which were the earliest variants of hypercoasters built. RCT tends to base rides off of their first appearing exampled. The first RCT Gigacoaster is based off of the first gigacoasters, which were Intamin Giga Coasters such as Millennium Force. Similar coasters have been built that are not technically gigacoasters on height alone, but have similar trains and track structures to true gigacoasters. But what are you going to call those in-game? They don't have any licensing rights with real ride manufacturers, so they name the rides off of their most striking feature.

You are very, VERY good at ride track/path/scenery interactions. That go kart track under the big helix on Pole Position looks wonderful. Everything about the area Crazy Caterpillar is in would look like a fucking clusterfuck if you didn't do such a good job with the scenery. That train around is a very nice touch.
These kinds of parks will always be more appealing to me than the hyper-dense gigaprojects that NEdesigns posts. Your parks really highlight the comfiness and charm of this game. Excellent work.

Just so this post isn't pure fellatio, you rely on "broken" lift hills (Colonial Classic, Pole Position, Quantum Shift) a bit too much, and it seems like you're scared to use block brakes in your rides. I know you wanted to keep most of them compact and small, but Sequoia was crashed upon loading up.

I've played the game since I was 6 or 7 and I never really cared about scenery at all until recently, so it's good to know I've got the eye for it.

As for block brakes, I always get a little anxious about the pauses on them as well as the top of lift hills - beside breaking the flow of the ride, I worry about people getting bored or the excitement going down. I should probably just get over it and try it though, same as I had to with banked turns. As for broken lift hills, I feel like they're a necessary evil sometimes, especially for very limited coasters like the Side-Friction.

a well-designed block section ride will never stop on the top of the lift. And if you do it just right... a block section ride will only stop right before the station.

>> No.8091902

>>8091859
let me rephrase this a little and give you my biggest protip with block sections: RCT by default gives you the maximum amount of trains possible when you first test a block section ride. You don't need the maximum. The maximum amount will clog your ride up like a truckstop shitter. I always lower the amount of trains.

Not only is it a good habit to practice, but it's also more realistic. It's a system that modern real-life coasters use. You don't need blocks 100% of the time, but for medium to large coasters, the answer is usually yes.

Just a lift hill and brake before the station gives you three block sections. Maybe add a mid course brake run for another or cheese it with a single lift hill piece at the crest of a hill. Fit two or three trains in and set the minimum station wait time so that a train leaves the station just as another returns. No mid-ride holdups.

I do this for literally every coaster I can. It's better throughput and more realistic.

>>8093801
Example. This has five block sections and runs three trains. At 1:25 length, set the station wait time to 18-20 seconds and the only pausing you get, if any, is a few seconds behind the station. With three trains, two block sections in the main course, either MCBR or cheese it with a lift hill, are pretty much required (or run two stations, one entrance and the other exit). With two trains, the second will be fully in the station by the time the first clears the lift hill basically always.

With a holding section behind the station like pictured, all three trains will start right there, but then spread out in operation. Otherwise, a train starting from a mid-run block section would have to be able to reach the station from a dead stop rather than with the velocity it would have while running. You don't have to have two train-lengths of holding track, though. A chain lift counts as a section so simply adding one where the end of the run meets the holding section works.

It's fairly straightforward to configure a block sectioned ride that never stops and can never crash on top of maximizing guests per hour. There's no reason not to.

A lift hill here would work to split the main run into two block sections, but a train starting from there would not make it back to the station.

>A chain lift counts as a section so simply adding one where the end of the run meets the holding section works.
Like so.

If the block section is used mid-ride and a train doesn't have to stop at it, does it still forcibly slow it like brakes?

A block brake will slow to 4mph, yes. A lift hill will not.

Last question, is the very specific "lift hill to flat piece" required to count as a block section, or is it more loose and flexible than that?

>> No.8094178

>>8094170
Transition to flat only. The part that marks the end of a natural lift hill.

>>8094167
Also a block brake will only slow until the train reaches 4mph, then it does nothing. Regular brakes will always slow. The distinction is that, in a MCBR with regular brakes and a block brake, a train rolling out will still be slowed by the regular brakes but not the block brake. Brakes at 9mph, for example, will keep a train leaving from a dead stop from gaining as much speed as it should.

>> No.8094190

One last note on that. If you design improperly or for some reason partially close the ride so that a train stays put behind the station, a lift hill block section behind it WILL cause a crash.

Important note about mid-course brake runs: you can still cheese the block brakes. If you don't put any brakes before it, the train stops slowing down once the first car is past the block brakes. You can absolutely have a train plow through the brakes, but be sure that it will never need to stop there.

For example: this train will slow down to 19 mph. It will never need to stop here, because there are enough block sections after for it to stack up on in case of a breakdown. This is another advantage of not running max trains: you can have checkpoints like this where there is little slowdown. The other block slows it from 27mph to 12mph.

It's easy to get into for pay per ride scenarios (front gate is free and ride charges money). In that, good rides attract more customers and make more money, simple. You are rewarded for good play even if you choose not to employ exploitative strategies.
To not get too-intense coasters, the only real newbie killer is using unbanked turns. Bank your rollercoaster turns unless they are going at very low speed (a normal level piece can start leaning left or right, ie banking, which you follow with a turn or helix. Some advanced rides can start banking on a slope as well).

Pay per entry scenarios are by contrast an obnoxious scale of abuse tactics, where genuinely good building is worthless and you win based on what you've accidentally or knowingly abused about the systems. Fuck these scenarios, open cheats and edit the scenario to be a free entry and pay per ride to play normal unless you have fun making boring short rides, spamming rides to increase guest cap, doing things like not installing bathrooms to make people leave on purpose, etc. Even purposefully not doing these things your success is measured strictly by how unintentionally close you are to these scum tactics regardless of whether you willingly did it or not.

Yeah but there's no sliding scale of how close you are to putting an unbreakable ride's exit underground when you're not trying to do it. You can just not do that and nothing you do while playing normally is like that, whereas every track piece you place is a reminder that this scenario will punish you for not making multiple small coasters, every smallish coaster you make brings you closer to an "abuse coaster", and if you place slightly less bathrooms than needed you are already on the sliding scale to bathroom abuse - stuff like that prevents the scenario from ever feeling organic. Whereas dumping bodies into the void is its own thing to punch the shit scenario type with.

in the process of making >>8110615 I noticed they patched out the ability to do the double interlocking loop things (picrel) in OpenRCT2 (as of 0.3.1 I guess), citing it was an "original bug":
>Fix: Incomplete loop collision box allowed overlapping track (original bug)
It was legitimately possible in vanilla RCT/RCT2 and OpenRCT2 until I guess v 0.3.1. I really don't like that they "patched" it, so to do it now you either have to use an older version or disable clearance checks to set them up. maybe this is old info but I got stuck for a few hours trying to figure out why I couldn't set them up anymore until I realized I couldn't even place saved tracks with those in them and looked at the changelog.

>>8115593
I think it looks cool. Them fixing that bug also stopped the ability to stack interlocking loops like picrel as well. From what I remember, originally you basically had 2 units of height for leniency with interlocking loops. Now, you only have exactly a 1x1 unit where interlocking loops would work. if someone finds it dumb or ugly, then they're free to adjust their track to avoid it, but removing stuff like that just removes interesting interlocking options from the game (which gave it a lot of appeal from my autistic perspective). I think these are pretty advanced interlocking techniques that someone most likely wouldn't pull off unintentionally anyway.

>> No.8115705

>>8115668
Stacked looks good, but trying to cram two side by side does not.

You'll have to fake it to whatever success. Disable clearance checks and run the coaster through the water and then do some cosmetic that looks like a tunnel, perhaps heartline twister track or find a scenery piece that works.

Have a progress shot. I thought I'd get myself back in by doing all the scenarios with some care for aesthetics but I ended up being tediously obsessive and frontloading some expensive shit. I think Ima have to commit to just spacing out bare rides and filling in scenery after scenario completion or as money can be spared.

Thought I'd ask here since it's RCT-related: About 10 years ago I remember seeing some quality content on /v/ where someone was making RCT rides themed around contemporary games. I remember one image that had three identical coasters in red, blue, and green called "Mass Effect 3" and I also remember the same image had a spinning ride called "Deus Ex Human Revolution". There was also one of (I think) star wars the old republic, and it just crashed into the ground with text that said "it's a feature" on a sign in the background. Finally, there was a picture of a coaster called the "brofist coaster" which just launched two sets of cars into one another and had a sign saying "Problem Officer?"

I think there were other images in this set, but I don't remember them. I'm hoping that if someone here is from those days then they'll remember the images and be able to upload them for me. Thanks and sorry if I am wasting your time and post count.
