The Universe Coaster is the longest roller coaster ever built in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, and it blows all previous versions out of the water.

So it's finally been done - the power of exponential growth has been harnessed. It may not be the first time that the maximum ride length has been improved, but it's *by far* the most significant improvement, for that reason. So the final version of the coaster works in both vanilla RCT2 and RCT Classic, even though in JJ's screenshot he mentions it exceeds some RCT2 limit? That's a nice touch. Maybe someday OpenRCT2 will include some compatibility options that let you follow the vanilla rules for synchronization, too... that would be a nice feature to have.

@MarcelVos Жыл бұрын

JJ's version was built in Classic, which has different limits. All that's different is that his baseline long coaster is a bit longer though, so it has not much impact on the total ride time. Actually my baseline coaster takes longer as the super slow backwards method wasn't discovered yet when JJ made his first version.

That bit with the blue wild mouse coasters at the end is when I first came up with the idea of exponential synchronization. It worked in OpenRCT2, but not in vanilla, so I didn't use it, and it took a while before a method to do it in vanilla was found.

@TheOobo Жыл бұрын

An update to my favourite "series" of sorts! I'm unsurprised that the number got so absurdly large as soon as that synchronization method was figured out, once you move from multiplicative growth to exponential growth things can get massive quickly. It's entirely possible there's still room for improvement, like a way to abuse game mechanics that allows us to use powers of three rather than two, but for our mere mortal minds this is the limit. We've reached an incomprehensible scale, any improvements may be much larger but equally incomprehensible. As a side note, I'm amazed I never knew that one-tile-offset stations can still synchronize. That opens up a ton of possibilities.

If this record progresses any further, I imagine it will start to look similarly to the development mathematicians had coming up with new largest cardinal numbers, where they eventually became so large they were only expressed via abstract proofs showing it was larger than previous numbers rather than a number a lay person can actually read as being a number. Something like TREE(3) is unfathomably large, but it’s larger than other unfathomably large numbers like Graham’s Number in a way I myself can’t even begin to comprehend. Perhaps in the future we’ll have Coasters whose completion time cannot even be easily compared to the previous record holder by just showing them side by side, but can only be abstractly proven to somehow be longer.

When I was a child, I had a terrible fever and one night I had the most scariest nightmare in my life that to this day still remains the scariest, but it wasn't anything with zombies or monsters chasing me, it was indescribable as to what it is, I just remember the feeling of it and things like how you described counting the atoms of the universe brings back those feelings. It was as if I was forced to count every atom of the universe and if I messed up, I had to start all over. It's just that feeling of whatever you do in your task, it'll never end. I get the same feeling as an adult, when I have to work on a stack of papers and I work on it for hours, days, weeks and when I look at the stack, it seems like it hasn't changed at all or has grown even larger.

I was going to comment "couldn't you make the wild mouse coasters longer?" but seeing the coaster take more years than the number of atoms in the universe kinda took the wind out of my sails 😆

@velvetbutterfly Жыл бұрын

But the thing was the exponential growth. With the limited space if you made them longer you potentially couldn't add all the ones you needed

@nielsmutser5726 Жыл бұрын

It wouldn't matter one bit (unless I'm missing something). Except for if the wild mouse coasters would be longer than the first coaster. Otherwise, if their lap is longer (but shorter time than the first coaster) it would only mean they have to wait shorter before the first coaster would have completed a cycle to set of the wild mouse for another lap.

Funnily enough, I re-watched your longest coaster videos *yesterday.* I thought, "Surely, there has to be some way or another to create a binary counter. I know it hasn't been figured out, but come on, it just has to be possible." I knew it would come eventually, but I expected to have to wait longer. It's quite nice that the ride time comes out to about a twentieth the number of atoms in the observable universe.

@stellacollector Жыл бұрын

This challenge has become somewhat similar to inventing a very large number in mathematics. The numbers got so big that the scientific notation like 10^10^10^120 does not work anymore, so the magnitude of the numbers cannot be compared directly (like comparing digits), but rather theoretically using their definitions and advanced math. Already from the Century Coaster, we simply cannot measure and compare the actual ride times of different "long" coasters since that would take 100+ years and the computer will go broke. We can only estimate what the 'theoretical ride time' might be by some mathematical inference.

@MarcelVos Жыл бұрын

This is very true. By speeding up the game a lot you could complete the Century coaster in a few months, and I did actually do that with the 12-year long coaster. You can't come anywhere close to it with this ride.
