Good point. A good substitute for the haunted house.

Indeed. This is why they're actually the best in my opinion because as someone who charges for both park and ride fees I always charge around 1 to 1.5 dollars for thrill and gentle rides. They also tend to have little to no nausea (not the Enterprise) which is a plus.

Cool, I had no idea that the Enterprise was considered indoor. I've ridden one, and it would've been hell to ride that in the rain.

Also, you can easily make the launched freefall and roto-drop indoor by placing a single scenery item on top of the tower (except for the beheaded roto-drop).

@@Trancefreak12 Does that get viewed as indoor in terms of the games logic?

I was thinking that too. If you could adjust the speed of them in-game that would be cool and make them a much more viable ride

Best guess is that it's a "starter" ride in the vast majority of scenarios, and they didn't want to make the starter rides too good.

Meh it's just so unbelievebely generic

The first ride in every park I ever built was a Merry go Round. (If it started empty.) It's just so satisfying to listen to that music while building everything else.

I get the same with the swinging ships. I've seen a lot of swinging ships that are very small, and definately wouldn't qualify as a thrill. But take a big one, like the one from Efteling, and you have a legitimately good experience for such a basic concept. But I guess that RCT just wasn't built that sort of variables in mind.

Now Showing: RollerCoaster Tycoon Vidoes

Strongest ride shape.

I almost spit out my food when he said that lmao

"They call it The Destroyer" "Why do they they call it that?" "No idea, but that view of those two 3D Cinemas is great"

Oh good you got the joke

​@@kerokero_furoguoh good you made fun of them for no apparent reason

As someone who charges for both park and ride fees in RCT1 flat rides in general end up charging 1 to 1.5 dollars until after after 6 months, in which case I just replace them and keep charging.

I’m not going on 3D Cinema 1 while it’s raining

I do like how the stats increase depending on which movie is showing. I just wish the 3D cinema commanded a higher price. Same and even more so with the circus.

Take that, Disney- My park has 2 big balls!

Epcot got so depressing later on. I remember thinking spaceship earth was the coolest thing as a kid. Then as time went on and i got older i learned epcot was pretty meh

The price should also be higher. The in an amusement park tax and the 3d tax should make the ticket price higher than a normal theater, enough to make decent money. The poor throughput on the other hand does make sense.

Oh yes, let's all upvote this. Marcel likes killing guests, so that should be right up his sleeve.

That video would surely be a viral hit if he did it. I'm pretty sure that's one of the main things roller coaster tycoon is known for in the first place: the crashes.

The powered launch coasters are definitely the coolest (and easiest) to crash, plus you can aim them wherever you want. The dinghy slide and haunted mansion ride are pretty fun but rely on specific scenarios (going to fast over a hill/around a corner) so you're kind of limited, plus you need to complete the circuit to get them to run which limits your ability to build. Most of the rest of the coasters can only crash after a station brakes failure or after failing to get over a lift hill, which are both pretty lame. The air powered vertical coaster has a pretty funny bug that I found out about accidentally where if you link a slope up to vertical (or slope to level) piece to a banked straight piece, the coaster will consider that to be a "complete circuit" yet when launched the coaster will crash at that spot.

@@TheTdw2000 For the record, "haunted mansion ride" should probably be referred to as the Ghost Train or Tunnel of Horror so that people don't confuse it with the stationary Haunted Mansion. Also, I recommend checking the Mini-Golf video for a particularly amusing case of _that_ ride crashing (requires OpenRCT2).

@@MarsJenkar It's called the Haunted Mansion Ride in-game, so that's what I'm gonna call it. If someone mixes up the two and somehow thinks a Haunted House can crash, they're retarded. As for the Mini-Golf, that requires cheats. The crash with the Air Powered Vertical Coaster can happen in vanilla RCT2.

The Twist is also a _very_ common type of attraction at parks and fairs around the world, so building one in your park in RCT2 can help add realism to it. It was never my favourite ride at any carnival, but I always liked it enough to ride it at least once.

I think they could at least show some blinking lights or something when the 3D cinema is running. I wish it had more to offer because I like the ride itself.

​@@reillywalker195 To add even more realism the twist should have a chance of guest loosing a random amount of cash and stuff they've bought in your park. Maybe it was the invention of smartphones what saved them from extinction irl

This made me smile :)

"I walked in with $200. How can I be out of money?! I spent $100 on entry, and... oh, right - $25 for a hot dog, another $25 for a can of soda, and $50 for this stupid T-shirt."

Those stupid dole pineapple whips at Disneyland are fucking good but theyre hollow on the inside so they look bigger than they are to guests who see other guests walking by and enjoying them. Its like 1 ice cream cones worth of frozen treat and when i went in 2011 it cost 8 bucks

Running costs for food stalls basically consist of the cost of the food, and the percentage markup is pretty high. A slice of pizza costs $0.60 to make, and sells for $2.10 in most conditions, for a 250% markup. (In cold weather, the pizza sells for $2.50--a 333% markup--but I wouldn't recommend counting on this unless you're willing to micromanage to that degree, or you have the Price Manager plugin for OpenRCT2.)

thats a problem for every thrill ride except the launched freefall, rotodrop, and 3d cinema. Twisters are so unreliable you are better off never opening one

They’ve been showing spy kids 3D for the last 20 years no wonder it’s awful

​@@lennykravitz4107Meanwhile California's Great America still shows Mass Effect at their 3D cinema, starring Garrus and Wrex.

A 3D Cinema you cant "ride" anyways...since its no ride...its...a...cinema...maybe...xD

Plot twist its a hybrid playground slide that is half electrical plastic , half hot metal

I always call my first one twister, very innovative I know

That’s what it’s called in the British version right? I remember my original Xbox version having slightly different names for a few things

​@@roddydykes7053No, the original UK version was always called Twist. The US release had the Twist as Scrambled Eggs (aka Frasier: The Ride) and the Launched Freefall as WOAH Belly! for some reason.

@@roddydykes7053 It's actually called "Scrambled Eggs" in the US version and "Twist" in the UK version. Another difference I remember for the thrill rides specifically is Swinging Ship vs Pirate Ship.

​@@gtpliquid1290HEHSHAHEHDH I thought you were just being really funny but that's actually true wth

This happens with all flat rides in my experience. Just replace them when guests complain about the price and they'll be none the wiser.

Crooked House 1 has broken down…

Actually that's bad for the Crooked House, it means that the Reliability never goes down. This means that in OpenRCT2 where you can refurbish rides when the Reliability drops below 100%, you can't do that with the Crooked House. Meaning that in order to get value from it you have to delete it and build a new one, the only other ride type that has this issue is the Maze.

@@AceAviations2 *Casually glances at the 'Rides don't decrease in value over time' toggle on the cheat menu...*

Honestly it shouldn't even be a thrill ride imo

What about the Circus? I think that could count too

I never liked Circuses IRL.@@sudofox

I thought that it was 'meh'

​@three-quartersbadger2929 then just don't watch his videos. It's that simple. You really didn't need to comment that.

Same here, glad I wasn't alone.

Probably it is harder to animate as it doesn't always look the same.

Sometimes I build them just for looks and keep them closed lol

I charge $5 to ride the go karts. The less that can ride at a single time the more I charge

To be fair it feels very cheap to be charging the maximum, I only do that for pseudo-sandbox parks like Ghost Town or Octagon Park for the most part, where having a shitload of money is needed for building stuff. The problem with charging so much is that without the Cash Machine you bleed guests dry of money too quickly, which can be a real problem for parks where you need to get a certain number of guests. Normally I have two different pricing methods for things other than gentle rides: 1. The Excitement Rating rounded to the nearest 10th, so if it's a .X5-.X9 I bump the price up 2. Average of the Excitement and Intensity Ratings rounded to the nearest 10th The second option is really only used much for ride types where the Intensity Rating is typically much higher than the Excitement Rating, in other words where going by the first option would result in me charging like $4.00 for a Launched Freefall. This still results in making a boatload of money, just not as much while also not bleeding guests dry too quickly.

​@@AceAviations2 Charging the maximum also requires a lot of micromanaging since it doesn't take long before guests refuse to pay a certain price and leads either to having to regularly adjust the price or scrap and rebuild the ride/attraction. Sure long queues can help mitigate the time before the ride doesn't have enough guests to keep it full but it's still always annoying to stop what one is doing to respond to it. Marcel can offer some really good tips but some of them don't work as well or at all outside of OpenRCT2 if one is playing vanilla RCT or RCT2- in RCT entry price also effects how much guests are willing to pay.

yay new video!! can’t wait

There's a custom flatride reskin for the Chairswing and the Double Inverter Ship (among many others) if you lookup "Amazing Earl RCT2" 👍😇

I'm on board with that.

Dergon

Nausea is programed to go down over time, or completely if they vomit. So having a bench dose not make it go down faster. However when they are sitting they can't throw up so it keeps the paths cleaner. Problem is while they can't throw up while sitting, they also can't buy anything. So its kind of a trade off, if you have enough staff to clean the vomit up. Guest won't be unhappy about it, and once they throw up, they are at zero nausea again. Which means they can buy/ride again. I found that in parks that are small or just starting, it was better to have benches due to low staff/park ratings. While massive parks with plenty of staff and high overhead costs meant I wanted them to vomit and get back to paying me quickly.

@@animestein Another problem is that sick guests (not very sick guests) won't sit down and are free to vomit. Fun fact: vomiting increases a guest's hunger, so letting them vomit is good for stall profits.

Behold the glory of corporate capitalism! Now with less random drownings! Personally I always tried to isolate my high nausea rides to a specific section of my parks. Then i just have all the rides exit onto a single path, with janitors permanently assigned there. They keep the path clean and tidy and since the guest on that path are too sick to care. I never get a complaint about it, plus the endless parade of green faced peeps was amusing!

They would already know - the upload date is in the description.

@@DitzyNizzy2009 I'm making a joke. I'm familiar with the works of KZfaq and Pablo Neruda.

I put one together using the profitability of the various stalls, as well as whether they provided something for the guests that was important to satisfying the needs of the guests, or for the profitability of the park. Low-profit food and drink stalls got penalties because they tend to cannibalize from higher-profit food and drink stalls. I use a price manager plugin to set ride and stall prices, so I take the average of the profitability of various items between cold, hot, and moderate weather, though with umbrellas I assume they are being sold at $20 or the equivalent. The results I came up with: *S Tier* consisted of high-utility stalls that provided unique services such as the Cash Machine, Information Kiosk, and Restroom. The Souvenir Stall also made it in because of its ability to sell umbrellas. *A Tier* consisted of the Hat, T-Shirt, and Soft Toy Stalls, as well as top-tier food (Pizza, Chicken, Burger) and drink (Coffee, Hot Chocolate) stalls. *B Tier* consisted of the Balloon and Sunglasses stalls, with high-tier food (Sub Sandwich, Hot Dog, Fries) and drink (Drinks, Iced Tea, Lemonade, Fruit Juice) stalls. *C Tier* consisted of the First Aid Room, as well as a number of mediocre food and drink stalls. Any food/drink type that I do not mention in other tiers should be assumed to go here. (While the Art Deco food stall sells B-tier lemonade, it also sells C-tier beef noodles, which drags it down to this tier. In most situations, your park will have room to place separate food and drink stalls, so the space savings isn't really worth it.) *D Tier* consisted of a number of poor-profitability (Meatball Soup, Wonton Soup, Tentacle, Funnel Cake, Popcorn, Ice Cream) food stalls. *F Tier* consisted of the Pretzel Stall, the Candy Apple (Toffee Apple) Stall, Cotton Candy (Candyfloss) Stall, the Donut Shop, and the Cookie Shop. The five worst food stalls in the game. I would ignore any stall below B tier unless you have no better choice for the situation, with the possible exception of the First Aid Room. First Aid Room should be used sparingly if at all, and only near high-nausea rides. (As for why the First Aid Room is so high on the list, the cannibalism caused by low-tier food and drink stalls resulted in _massive_ penalties; those stalls in D and F tiers actually have _negative_ scores.) If you want an idea of the order of the stalls within a tier and category, I list them in order from the best to the least good, so Drink stalls are better than Fruit Juice, for example, even though they're both in the same tier.

@@MarsJenkar Interesting! Thanks for the breakdown
