Roller Coaster Tycoon

[-Ajax-]

On another note, does anyone know if there's a way to turn money off in a level? I thought you could it by converting a saved game into a scenario, but I can't. Anyone know a way to other then creating a completely new scenario from scratch.

You have to do it from scratch unfortunately... which is very annoying

And can i get a close up of that Splash Boats ride you have? looks awesome!!

Here's some more of my highest rated Coasters:)

[Pynk Dude]

it's my 13 minute long water ride Splash Mountain.





It holds the most ammount of people of any ride in the park, takes and longest to complete, has the most "Quest Favorites" at about 1200 people, second to the 650 of Atom, the sastifaction is 60%.
But everyone is really mad when they get off, everyone that rides it thinks "I want to get off of Splash Mountain" by the half way point, and that thought is my most common thought in the park, with "It's too crowded" and "Great Scenery" occasionally beating it.

As far as keeping quests happy in the game, it's a bad idea, but I was going for looks/realism, so I decided to just do it anyways.

For good or bad... that's a nice ride

I can't seem to break the 10 barrier for excitement on any of my coasters lol have you managed to do it?

[Pynk Dude]

I don't think so on roller coasters, the best I tend to get normally is around 9.3-9.5
It's tough, because the ride needs to be long enough to build excitement, as well as scenic, however, the longer you get, the harder it is to keep the intensity under control, and if you get too intense, it actually has a negative effect on excitement.

Meh, I'm happy with Very High, Very high, High/mediums.

Roller coaster tycoon 2. i have RCT 1 with 2 exapnsion packs. and i Have RCT 3


this pic i got from google is what RCT 3 and possibly other later ones look like but pretty sure that the later versions have better graphics

[Pynk Dude]

This is RCT2


So much for never getting about 9.5

[-Ajax-]

WOW!!!! I can imagine that was quite expensive...

The 1st and 2nd Degree Twisters are about £50,000 each... the good thing is they make £20,000 an hour each  

In my "mega parks" i manage to have about 5, maybe 6 coasters making nearly £20,000 an hour each

And twin lane coasters are sooo much fun to make aren't they?!?!?!?!?

Must... resist... urge to re-buy game because old version doesn't work properly....

Buy it Tanxs!!!!

long time ago i had what seem like a 30 min coaster that was actually 20 mins lol

[Tanxs1]

Oh, I will Ajax .

2 problems with my current disc:

1) Lost

2) I probably bought an illegal copy from an Ebay seller *raises fist angrily* because the disc itself is just white, with no pictures and because everytime I try to save my progress, the whole thing freezes. Either that or they sold me a faulty one.

And then once you re-buy it you can send it to me in Australia

My only regret with Pyramid racer is I made it one track, sort of expecting to be able to use 4 trains. Didn't work out and it's only 2.

I'll probably end up going into the roller coaster editor and making it two tracks instead, so more people can ride it. I just hope that doesn't ruin is excitement rating.

Update View of my park.

As you can see, the giant green building is gone, but the ride inside remains. I like it better opened. I've filled in the top right of my park, I plan to keep the dessert area as barren as it is (mainly filled by the dueling giga coaster.
Not sure what'll happen to the top left, probably a feater Floorless, or Inverted Suspended coaster.


Speaking of the giga coaster, I did end up splitting up the tracks, and I maintained great, even better actually, ratings (10.35, and 10.46 excitements for them), so it worked great in the end. I'm so happy with my work around this part that I made this my Desktop background



I've noticed that as my park expands, my ratting drops. Looking at the thoughts,

the only thing I can think of that guests have a problem with are bathrooms....but I've got 45 already, it already seems like everywhere you look there's a bathroom. about 120 people at a given time say "I need to go to the bathroom"

Hunger and thirst are also up there, but when you consider I have 6000 guests, only 60-70 people saying "I'm hungry/thirsty", doesn't seem like an issue, and just people randomly stating it, and possibly on their way to get food.

Crowded only becomes a problem when a new big ride is built, and everyone is rushing towards it, but I never hear word of it otherwise.

I never get red messages for any of these, so the game obviously doesn't find it a problem.
I periodiclly check the thoughts for litter, disgusting paths and vandalism. I NEVER get any messages of guests being lost (which does surprise me )

Any ideas? Do I just need to build more random bathrooms and stalls?

I have that same problem with the park rating... and i really don't know lol

I play custom maps a lot, so by default i make them very easy to get from A to B. Like you said, you have about 50 toilets and i usually also have near 60 handymen, especially around my coasters (for obvious reasons)

And good one making the Pyramid coaster into a dual they work so much better than one coaster with multiple trains. (if you had used blocked sections you probably could have had up to eight trains then it would work better)

I also find guests will think "i need the toilet" when they are right next to one... or even while they are standing in one... which is strange...

I'd say make sure you have a large volume of staff... in one of my parks i have 120 staff members (60 handymen, 40 mechanics, and 20 security dudes) and i keep floating around making sure everything is well and good.

What i do is have food/drink stalls in groups of 3 or 4 scattered around the park (at least two on my screen at any time when i'm zoomed right in), i still get the "i'm hungry/thirsty" thoughts but they are never too far from a stall

That helps too!!!
