Wooden terrain family coaster with full scenery. My goal was to get ‘Very High’ excitement while hugging the hills, so its biggest drop was only 32 feet, and its fastest speed only 41mph. Enjoyed making this one.
Has anyone noticed that when guests use water rides without tracks, they tend to turn left? In this pic, all my jet skis have turned left and are driving down the coast. Instead of just turning right out of the station platform, which is the quickest way back to the end of the platform
I hated this pyramid. lol But I passed it :)
Don’t want them to lose focus
Hello everybody!
We've noticed an influx of newer/returning players recently after the recent release of RCT Classic for the Switch, so we wanted to just put out a new high-level post addressing some of the frequently asked questions we've been getting lately. For even more details on these and other topics, see our official wiki and FAQs from the sidebar.
Additionally, starting today, any posts asking for information that can be found in this thread will be removed and directed to this thread. If you have a new question not yet addressed here, please comment below and we will do our best to answer it.
1. Which version should I get?
Here on r/rct, we primarily recommend OpenRCT2 or RCT 3 (if you prefer the 3D graphics over isometric sprites). Classic is a great option for mobile users who like RCT 2, but we'd always recommend OpenRCT2 over it when possible. The best option (in our opinion) is to purchase this bundle from Steam, then install the latest version of OpenRCT2.
Other versions such as RCT Touch, World, and Adventures are also allowed in the sub, but they're not nearly as popular as the core versions and generally are not recommended. Check the list below for our recommendations based on platform:
As we go on, note that most of the following questions apply to 2 (vanilla and OpenRCT2) and Classic, as that is the most common game engine used here.
2. How do I build a coaster?
3. How do I keep my intensity ratings down?
We also have a guide for that!
4. How do I beat [scenario name]?
Check out the general scenario guide for generic tips you can apply across the board, or the individual links from the complete scenario list for more detailed information on a specific one.
5. What's the deal with all the different ratings, anyway?
Wouldn't you know it, there's a guide for that!
6. What are this sub's rules?
You can find a comprehensive list here, but the important ones to remind users are: don't post memes, links to pirate the game(s), murder-coasters, or low-effort content (low-effort content is loosely defined, but generally screenshots without any user-made content or achievement, ride stats and nothing else, or rides named for guests' reactions alone will be removed. If you want to just post anything at all, /r/rctcirclejerk freely allows memes and basically whatever else you want, except porn). Oh, and of course, be chill towards one another.
That's all for now, please let us know if anyone has any additional questions or if there's any feedback on anything mentioned here!
Is there any way to mod the playstore version, or maybe intergrate touch controls for openrct2?
All I want is just the blue hologram thing from openrct, finishing the coaster, placing entrance and exit only to see it barely doesn't make it over the first bump is maddening
I am running openrct2. my chairlift has only one chair? it wont allow me to add more like in the past. I have deleted and rebuilt it and still runs one chair. what is going on?
New challenge for me: complete Pokey Park without buying extra land or construction rights.
Park Value: € 163.000
3 March, Year 3
Just finished completing scenario and I realized all the guests start clapping if you’ve successfully complete the challenge. I also noticed if any guests are holding balloons they let go of them so they can give you a round of applause. Cute af, game is a masterpiece
I’m about to start the Prison Island Scenario on classic. I know you can just spam prebuilt rides and beat it in like 5 minutes since it has unlimited money, but I want a challenge. Any ideas for me?
Another dense park with lots of rides interacting. But it’s tricky to build on water!
I used park scenario editor to set this up, then built super dense rides interacting with eachother. My fave way to make things look like they’re floating is to put glass under supports.
