RCT peeps aren't dumb enough, apparently if our rides are too scary and uncomfortable the realistic behavior is to force open the restraints and die.

[Anonymous No.8438904]

>>8437664
That seems rather inaccurate. Modern hybrids are wood with i-box steel track. The cyclone was supported with a rectangular steel lattice like a more recent fairground coaster (zamperla galaxy, mouse, etc) or just modern scaffolding. Its problem was still using laminated track and that was solved decades later with tubular steel.

yeah but efficiency is overrated, especially seeing as how RCT's scenarios rarely demand max efficiency. It kind of rubs me the wrong way how Marcel's videos imply that you have to always be building the most efficient thing possible and minmax the stats to hell. And his voice is fucking annoying. There's still PLENTY of room for analytics in RCT. We could use a new viewpoint to defend the rollercoasters and rides that Marcel's playstyle neglects.

[Anonymous No.8452523]

>>8450958
I don't find that to be accurate. Marcel makes mechanics analyses while saying repeatedly that style and aesthetics can be more important and valuable to rides, it's just that mechanics analyses are going to lean towards that content. When he makes ride overviews or compares ride types he also talks about their uniqueness and what they can bring in flavor when they lack mechanical strength. So he clearly separates max efficiency uses from aesthetic.

They're one of the rides that it's difficult not to cause crashes on if it's lengthy at all (every passenger is a giant weight difference so all cars move at wildly different speeds compared to other rides, and if someone bumps in front of them, they stop and get hit by the next), so I don't even like them for scenic tours. You would have to lift-hill them frequently because they lose speed super quick compared to other coasters, which is more failure points for yet more crashes.

[Anonymous No.8454291]

>>8446362
It's good-looking, consider using a lift chain after your blocks on the level space so they can be pulled out of it a bit quicker. Also, the lift hill on a gentle-slope-to-level piece, specifically just that track element and not any other point on a lift hill, counts as a block brake anywhere on a coaster, which can serve both aforementioned functions.

[Anonymous No.8454414]

>>8454210
they work okay as alpine coasters if you coddle them like a child. Have it set so cars only leave fully loaded, have one long lift, and nothing but downhill and curves all the way to the station. Difficult, finicky, but not impossible.

[Anonymous No.8454474]

Good advice, thanks anon. I wind up giving up after providing a generous minimum waiting time and a terrible throughput, but yeah starting from a drop at highly elevated land and not much else sounds pretty good for at least not needing excess lift hills.

Perfectly valid. I see two ways of approaching that. A winter lodge kind that is fully enclosed and plenty of fire indoor which you have in mind.

Finished the scenario after three or so hours. Lightning Peaks excessive amount of hills made building difficult but it did provide ample opportunity to create rides which went both above and below ground, a great way to increase excitement.

Is there anything that can be done with cheats/tile editor to get a train to freeze in place on its tracks?

Ivory Towers has an interesting start causes the player to focus on things over than ride placement. Would be nice to see this tactic adapted into other scenarios. For those who don't know/remember, Ivory Towers starts with a heavily trashed and vandalized park that requires the player to fix before focusing on attracting guest. An idea for a similar scenario from a gameplay perspective would be one that requires new paths to be placed or one with too many broken rides with few mechanics.

The Rio carnival scenario is the same vein, it's absolutely hemorrhaging money in a variety of ways, has an enormously out of the way transport ride to nowhere pathing guests to it, and a huge area of paved space that guests somehow get lost in. You have to stop at least the costly problems immediately to avoid sinking, and it's a beginner park.

Would adding a couple humps on the straightaway to increase drop count help the ghost train's excitement, like a coaster?

[Anonymous No.8465663]

Finished Ivory Towers. Overall scenario is pretty easy but may look intimidating at the start due to all the trash and vandalism. The parks terrain provides ample opportunity to create large rides. I did change a turn on the suspended swinging coaster to lower its intensity rating which helped make the early game easier. If there was a condition that the preexisting rides could not be edited then this scenario would have been harder. Overall 4/5.

>>8465570
He could but it wouldn't add too much, the problem is Ghost Cars can very easily derail so trying anything too exciting will send the passengers off in their own ghost car so to speak.

Pretty sure this can be done by placing rides under a preservation order, though obviously the original scenario doesn't do this.

There are two primary styles of woodie. The out and back has a lot of peaks but is mostly linear. Just fit one in a reasonable spot and it will only obstruct one angle. The other style is more dense, twisting in on itself and weaving through its own supports. The only obstructing points on that are the lift hill and perhaps the first hill. The rest is lower and clings closely to those.

Basically, if your woodie is overshadowing everything, you're doing it wrong.

Finished Rainbow Valley and all I have to say is screw this scenario. I'm fine with the terraforming restriction but forbidding tree removal is a whole other level of ridiculousness. Sure it teaches the player to be mindful of how they place things which is a nice lesson, I just wish it wasn't so frustrating. 4/5 will not play again for a long while.

Finished Thunder Rock meaning I now have all of the base RCT1 scenarios finished. Despite the space limitations, vertical and horizontal, this scenario was not hard for me but could be harder for other people depending upon how popular your rides are. As I managed to get the guest cap in the second year I spent the latter half of the scenario taking my time on building rides, this did lead me to make my first bobsled coaster which came out pretty decently with an excitement of 5.81. Fun scenario and significantly easier than Rainbow Valley.

RCT2's got a lot of pretty lame scenarios. Rollercoaster Heaven's arguably worse, especially in vanilla. 90% of it was shat on by redwoods and you couldn't mass clear them before openrct so you spam rightclick about a billion times.
After that, there's zero point to bother with the park. All that matters are the coasters, and since you have infinite money and don't have to worry about park rating, you just shit coasters with length-filling helixes everywhere until it works

In general a lot of them are filler and are plain poorly made in many ways.

>Rio is a hell of bad pathing and 9001 balloon stalls
>Victoria Falls could be cool but you can only build in like 10% of the map, you can't build anywhere near the waterfall, making it a complete waste. I cleared away every tree you can to show the area you're expected to build up over 4 entire years, it's pathetic
>The European Festival has the absolute worst park layout of all time
>not only does the Inca City have a super bland landscape to build on, but the height restrictions the game tells you about are flat out nonexistent
>the Australia park with 2 parks has its concept wasted because you have to blow like $6000 just to build a path towards the second park, making it a better option to just delete everything on the other side of the map
>Renovation looks okay but the best way to play it is to use the scenery clearer to wipe out the entire park because it beats having a handyman take a year to sweep the park up
>the japanese park involves building over water which is tedious at best, but with height restrictions it's fucking awful and not fun in the slightest

And this is just Wacky Worlds. Any park from it that I didn't list here is simply inoffensive and unremarkable.

Was struck with some minor inspiration this morning. Stupid or brilliant?

Car gets to top of initial hill with insufficient speed, ditto the rear hill. Car then passes booster section, travels through top at moderate speed, then comes back through station for one last trip over the top at slightly higher speed.

Probably could have done this without cheats but I did add Powered Launch using launch to get it that initial speed. I suppose you could do it completely vanilla with extra boosters.

>sherwood forest is so easy you can beat it without building any extra rides, and can be beaten in as little as 3 mouse clicks
>the asteroid crater is packed with a shitload of tiny scenery objects that sell for a ton of money, giving you over $45k out of the gate. It's also another park value scenario
>Alcatraz suffers from most of Rollercoaster Heaven's problems, being a coaster-centric scenario with no reason to care about building a real park
>Jurassic Safari starts with two park entrances on either side of the bigass canyon that takes up 80% of the map so you have to spend $7k minimum out of the gate just to connect the sides unless you want guests getting pissed about being lost
>Cradle of Civilization is a park value map that repeats the Asteroid Crater's mistake of placing scenery worth a metric fuckton all over the map. You get roughly 30 grand from clearing it all, more than enough to hit the goal
>Stone Age could be neat if not for the hidden enemy, the rocky cliffs themselves completely blocking your view frequently
>Gemini City looks flashy but due to being a park value park, there's no reason to ever build in the city. At least if you try to delete the city you lose money so you don't start with a massive stock of cash
>Rock n Roll Revival has the worst type of pathing in the game, Flower Power, which makes it near impossible to see vomit or trash. It's honestly easier to nuke the entire park, especially because it's got a bunch of busted rides

There's no true standouts when it comes to looking for good scenarios in the expansions. The expansions are the definition of filler. Unremarkable at best, extremely amateur at best, and this is easily shown by looking at the new scenery and rides, which clash with the rest of the game's artstyle. Some of the scenery can look nice, but the animated stuff just comes off as looking super tacky. The rides are almost all just reskins, with the double-decker carousel the exception.

Is it just me or does no source of RCT advice ever mention food stall strategy? It's really really simple and only a couple things, and they're pretty useful, but completely non-obvious and bordering on obtuse.
>1
Putting a unique food/drink type in an area of the park you want to draw more guests to, and advertising that food/drink, helps get guests there because guests who show up with vouchers try to path to that thing. Used together with both types of ride ad, you put guests to that section of the park easier. That's basically the entire point of different types of food/drink, which are otherwise just different amounts of money to decrease Hunger/Thirst by a similar proportion - they don't have a "saltiness" or anything like some people say about fries/pretzels, eating and time just increase Thirst.
>2
If you always build 3 or more different food stalls in your park, you seal off the 'worst food' negative award absolutely. Even if people are starving to death or not buying it at all, this award can't show up as long as 3 types of food exist.

[Anonymous No.8469427]

>>8469379
It might also bear, in that context, bringing up the random/directional walk and decision point pathing mechanics along with the role of happiness after a ride. Pathing in particular hardly gets talked about. I remember one of the (presumably now defunct) sites covering proper path design, particularly with regard to c-bends and guest trapping.

Did the "didn't find a ride within 5 minutes" thing ever get fixed? It affected how I place food and benches but was also barely known info. I'm pretty sure it was vanilla behavior too. The logic path went: guest enters park hungry enough to buy food right away -> guest cannot find bench to eat at -> guest script demands they enter a ride/queue within 5 minutes or leave -> guest can't do rides with food in hand. Ergo, guests who enter hungry arrive, buy food and leave if you don't have enough benches close to your food.

[Anonymous No.8474794]

>>8474585
Every ride's value is some proportion of its Excitement, Intensity and Nausea stats, and it tends to vary (ex: thrill ride about nausea might value it more), but the most common proportion is like 5:3:1 for those stats in order, for how much they add to ride value (and consequently what you can charge). Log Flume and Splash Boats have stat value proportions of something like 8:3:1 and 7:1:1. You'd normally only have proportions like that for a gentle ride most of the time, the kind of ride that cannot even achieve high stats, but for some reason these two which can have full coaster stats have these huge excitement proportion of value.
