'The chairlift with 1 station intrigued me. I didn't think it would be any different to, say, a merry-go-round. How I was so naïve back then... I was about half way round until my soul was ripped out of my body. I saw it flee in despair while my vision turned to black and my brain was crushed under the paradox that something could be so unexciting. This is my final plea to the world. A warning for those who are more lucky than me.' - Bill M. on Tripadvisor.

Having ridden go karts twice before this game's release...yeah...there's a good reason why you don't want to cover too much of the track of the go karts.

Modern go karts might be different, but that was the state of go karts in the 90s

It’s not so much the roof as it is the walls (with a roof). It’d be cool if it’d let you cover a track for aesthetics and/or keep the rain off but as long as it’s open-air on the sides there’d be no stat penalties and would actually boost guest stats when it rains. “Go karts 1 was great during the rainstorm!”

I feel this is a potential for OpenRCT2 to improve. It'd be breaking from norms of Vanilla/Classic but maybe when you run a coaster, they could add a little bit of "Construction Tips" or something, with more general advice like "more drops would increase excitement" or "the coaster is very short" - general advice that hints to the existence of these stat penalty triggers without turning it into a min-max thing where you feel like every coaster _must_ satisfy them all.

@@Green24152 In RCT2 ride cars crash and explode if they come off the track. Guests on a mini golf have no visible cars, but they still count as being in ride "cars" from an engine point of view and will still explode if they come off the track. In normal game play cars coming off the track is something that should only be able to happen on rides that either have an explicit mechanic of cars coming off (e.g. the bobsled) or on coaster types with powered launch, reverse incline launch or similar modes which can be opened/tested without a complete track. On most tracked rides the ride can only be opened/tested when it has a complete circuit, guests can remain on a ride after it's closed but opening the ride for editing will reset the ride, deleting the cars and teleporting the guests to the ride exit. However openrct2 has the "tile inspector" in the cheats menu which allows a ride to be modified while bypassing the normal safegaurds. So it is possible to break the track on any ride while it is operating and hence produce exploding golfers.

Hey, Marcel Vos is back! Superb analyses and explanation as always! These 'stat requirements' were things that bugged me not when I was a total beginner, but when I became sort-of intermediate-level player. Back then, I wondered why my go karts had such low stats despite my improvement on underground building skills (because the ride had too much underground sections), or my compactly-built reverser coaster resulted in very low excitement ratings (because it had no reverser track pieces).

Have to say, although the two games look so similar on the surface, RCT2 really does add some neat improvements I wasn't even aware I wanted. Both games are amazing but with the added features of RCT2 and the fact that open RCT2 is built to mod RCT2, that second one does seem to be a no brainer. Anyway, working through RCT2's scenarios now and this channel is going to be extremely handy.

I recently built the smallest figure 8 Go-Kart track you make, and still cross over your own track, with a bit of a fenced garden look to the scenery. I left it open, because I knew you didn't want to cover your go-karts from watching this video before, but it still got halved excitement. I spent a good hour or two in "RCT Classic" trying to figure out what was going on. Turns out that the small flat steel grid structure-piece I put UNDER the two hills that are in that design, counted as the Karts being "more than 50% covered" after ten laps, and that's why I got the tanked excitement. Removed those 4 pieces (again, from UNDERNEATH the track), and the whole ride went back to normal. It was a weird one. PS: This is a partial copy/paste from my comment in your video covering go karts specifically, because it's an important bit of information to know for people in that video as well.

I think the Mine Train Coaster has a requirement that it must have at least one underground section and one above ground section. Otherwise it gets a small penalty. It’s hard to prove though since underground segments always grant extra excitement.

The mine train is the worst coaster but I still build it over and over, don’t get why Sawyer didn’t program all pieces into the rides, it’s not like he was big on controlling the game.

"According to the game, a chairlift with only 1 station is so boring that it is IMPOSSIBLE to derive any joy from riding it" I don't know why that was so funny to me but man I had a good laugh! Makes me wonder if there was a specific reason or incident that inspired that bit of code.....

the vertical drop coaster at 1:20 I think gets its stats halved because it just barely doesn't hit the drop height requirement.
@MarcelVos
@MarcelVos 3 жыл бұрын
That's correct! It has a fairly high drop height requirement of 15 meters, which makes it great for making a coaster that looks like it should hit all requirements.

Oh, in difficult hill terrain I always tend to build go karts and river rapids almost completely underground, because it's easy building. Now I see the Sheltered penalty mechanic. Bedankt!

Random tangent that's led me to want ride overviews for some coasters: I ran a BUNCH of tests with the looping coaster design at the start and found it actually produces semi-decent stats for 3 coaster types. While you've already done the Corkscrew (E 4.92, I 4.54, N 1.84, throughput of 1600 guests/hour, $11.40 ticket first 5 months if only one in park), these are the other two that **worked** and would be helpful to explain why it works for them: Water Coaster: E 4.78, I 5.73, N 3.84, throughput of 2200 guests/hour @ station maximum of 5 cars, $12.60 ticket for first 5 months if only one in park. Hyper Twister: E 6.23, I 4.09, N 1.96, throughput of 2000 guests/hour, $13.80 ticket for first 5 months if only one in park. Again, same design as the looping with poor stats, but these three had REALLY good stats, and you haven't done the Water Coaster or Hyper Twister yet.

In RCT2 (vanilla no mods) I've built multiple go-kart tracks with over 75% underground, and didn't seem to run into any stat penalties... Edit: Well now I had to go look to be sure, and the racetracks of mine in question do actually pop out of the sides of hills and mountains enough that they might actually be only 75% covered. I thought it made the tracks more interesting... turns out I was more right than I suspected!

Early on in playing around with RCT, I couldn't figure out how to build rollercoasters properly as they always ended up boring, yet extremely intense and nauseating. I worked it out, but its interesting to see that some of that could have been fixed by punking the game and reducing the stats by a tiny primary run preluding the secondary, but actual, run.
