"Just looking at Marcel's Giant Woody makes me feel sick"

[@ImSquiggs]

Hahah, you nailed this one! I think I’ve experienced all of these at some point… my personal most disappointing one is the rollercoaster coming out with 14 intensity. I get how to make coaster now, but as a kid I just wanted to make the craziest stuff I could and people hated it almost every time, hahah. Didn’t stop me though!

[@TheDoctorOfThrills]

I find the more annoying thing about no-upstop rides is less that they go flying and more that their speed has to be perfectly micromanaged. They can go flying but they can also grind to a halt out of nowhere for the same exact reason.

[@RickardLejonhjarta]

I just want to nitpick a little bit. I really wished you included your video's explaining how to fix these annoyances in the video and description. For example a notation in the video with: "Go view RCT Derailing Trains Explained" and a link to kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmbPYYqibd13aM0 in the description

[@andykillsu]

Uhh what about rides breaking down?

[@pacolibre5411]

The worst “its a trap” i had was when I accidentally put a no-entry sign the wrong way on a big coaster with a long exit path, so even the “highlight path issues” couldn’t show me the problem.

[@nonna_sof5889]

Better than accidentally forgetting to put path to an underground exit... or is it?

[@tylerboothman4496]

​@@nonna_sof5889If they fall into the void, their bad mood doesn't ruin my park value

[@BigHailFan]

that happened to me as a kid. i thought i had made a genius design. i went to take a shower. when i came back, my park that was near completion was now near 0% happiness because of the dumbass ai. i was so pissed i had my parents return the game.

[@notmuch_23]

I find it annoying that nauseous guests don't always have the sense to use a first-aid room I conveniently put right next to the exit of the higher nausea rating coaster, or even just _sit down!_

[@TonyRedgrave]

Or even to vomit into a trash can... I get that you guys are about to vomit your guts out, but come on!

[@mikeomatic9905]

I mean that sounds pretty realistic, to be honest with you.

[@notmuch_23]

@Jeff Buckley I usually do!

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

Or at least hurl off to the side into the grass! I hear lawnmowers are as effective at removing piles of puke as dry push brooms.

[@dustmybroom288]

First aid rooms are the only stalls guest won’t seek out when in need. I have discovered putting the first aid rooms with the entrance facing the ride exit is the best way to get guests to use it when in need.

[@Ails1234]

My list when I played as a kid (So RCT1): - Trying to destroy path but guests keep walking on it is one - Flowerbeds are always dead - Realizing all my handymen have been mowing the lawn for months - Bobsled crashes - Accidentally raising the ground/water too much, wasting a small fortune - Trying to right-click tiny scenery objects but destroying path instead - Trying to get a hold on Diamond Heights - Spending months of in-game time building a coaster, only for it to suck - Testing a log flume. It's. Just. So. Slow.

[@James-eg3fr]

GODDAMN, some of those hit too close to my home!

[@wilfordbrimleypranks]

Accidentally blowing $300 on raising/lowering ground is my number one pet peeve

[@MrFilbert28]

I had NO clue what to with Diamond Heights

[@jacobnicola5950]

most annoying thing is in the rct 1 (thankfully fixed on rct 2) handyman's default priority on mow grass

[@UnitRico]

Mine will always be building a great building and wanting to admire it from a different angle only to find out the isometric view's been playing tricks on me again and I've placed the roof somewhere else entirely, needing me to start all over again. Learning the CTRL shortcut (embarrassingly late, admittedly, took me years) has helped a lot but it still trips me up sometimes.

[@MarcelVos]

I actually wanted to include that before I wrote the script, but after I had uploaded the video I realized I forgot to include it, so maybe for the sequal if I make one.

[@TheOriginalJphyper]

Imagine this on top of that: You spend hours on a structure, realize you messed up, then spend more hours doing it right, then just as you're almost done, your neighborhood suffers a power outage and you have to start all over again. I was not pleased.

[@ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Oh gods, if I had a nickel for every time that's happened to me..

[@kackers]

#11 - Drowning guests reduces your park rating, even though the RCT gods require you drown a guest every year

[@miracleeskimobattleship2874]

I heard sacrificing guests to the VOID works just as well.

[@jonnnnniej]

That's why you drown the entertainers

[@johnfoltz8183]

Annoying things: 1. When a Mechanic is sent to fix a broken ride, he takes his jolly good time getting to the ride in need. 2. Guests who just came into the park are in a foul mood, and some leave right after they came to your park. 3. Guests can't find rides in your park even if they are prominent. 4. Guests crowd a section of path and not branching out in other parts of the park.

[@joeyoverderooie]

Marcel's Giant Woody is too scary for me!

[@Gerrie_de_B.]

Hahahaha, that was exactly where my eye fell on... I keep it with the ingame Woody :D

[@blkmskpvd]

2:21 I was doing a new "no cheats" scenario play-through and I kept getting this same result at Amity Airfield. Always 2950-2999 guests by the deadline. My save file was 3 months out and I must have reloaded it a dozen times and I never broke 3000.

[@F14thunderhawk]

Amity Airfield is extra super shit though, with almost every ride option available selected for obscurity or difficulty of working in with the hardest objective to work to. you have half the thrill and gentle rides you would expect.

[@anthonydyer3846]

I'm not sure if this works or if it is a superstition of mine. I like to intentionally delay queues as an effort to keep guests stuck in lines and be counted toward the guest count. This way it delays the time for when a guest leaves. I do things such as using less trains/cars per train, increasing minimum wait time, and requiring a full load before the ride is allowed to start. Also keep using marketing. I agree, that scenario is ridiculous!

[@Lacerta47]

It would be cool if you can get dummies in the rollercoaster to test with minimum and maximum weight.

[@itabiritomg]

the aging rides mechanism is the most annoying thing on this game ever! You make a beautfull big great hi stats expensive cutting edge roller coaster and soon it will atract pretty much noone because it has over 2 years. to make things worse, you need to demolish the entire thing and and build it all over again instead of just giving it a new collor as they do in real life. this game mechanism should have been removed in rct classic.

[@Mopsie]

Yeah, I’m glad with the refurbish feature in open RCT2

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

[@sfisher923]

Your park has received an award for being "The park with the most confusing layout" Despite it being a Single wide grid pattern on a 255x255 map (this one irks me)

[@Justout133]

I love that it's an award, so condescending lol

[@ClickPopBoom]

Marcel on his twitch stream literally yesterday: "complaining doesn't get you anywhere and you should be grateful for what you have" Marcel on his youtube video today : "here's 6 and a half minutes of complaints about one of my favorite things in the world" LOL, but seriously love your videos. New rct content always gives me a bit of joy

[@Shrubbery]

The fact that mechanics sometimes get stuck and will never fix your ride is annoying, but, even worse, is that they don't pass on the task.

[@KingJohnson1985]

there is a simple solution to that...give your mechanic a SMALL dedicated area to walk on, with the exit building of the respective ride(s) on his path. I am surprised that this still annoys people, since its quite easy to avoid that problem...

[@Kboyer36]

#11 for me would be handymen walking back and forth in a queue line while the path right outside it is completely covered in vomit. I have had this happen far too many times especially when you set zones for handymen. The AI can be so buggy at times.

[@Codraroll]

Here's a few more: - Setting a zone for a staff member to patrol, but since zones are 4x4 grids they creep into queue lines where most staff members have no business. Guess where they will be spending 90% of their patrol time. Bonus points if you somehow manage to get a staff member onto a tile of path he can't leave because of his patrol zone. - Guests who want to leave the park, but who can't find the exit, so they wander up and down the same remote path forever, tanking the park rating (this was fixed in OpenRCT2 I believe). - Being tricked by the camera perspective to place decorations on the wrong tile, making a seemingly-nice structure that looks completely ridiculous when you rotate the camera. - Certain coaster types missing common track elements, such as the large steep-to-flat and flat-to-steep pieces for wooden coasters.

[@KingChayle87]

I, too, can’t afford Marcel’s Giant Woody, random guest.

[@nataliegath395]

"It's a trap" hit me so bad one time, it was an exit path out over a lake and due to several nearby rides i built after the path without noticing it didn't connect, there was physically no way to connect the path. So I had about 500 guests on a path and only options were to drown them and destroy what remained of my park rating, or pick every single one up and place them on the ground. Took ages to place each and every one back down....

[@noatiendoboludos]

Couldnt you've just raised a little bit of land in the tile where your lab rats would've drown? Then work your way up to a path from down there

[@seamusmaguire2160]

No man, didn’t you read what he said? There was PHYSICALLY NO WAY to do it! He couldn’t have move things out of the way or changed the landscape. The only choice was to drown 500 guests or to move em all one by one 🙄

[@sokarash]

#6 I like how the guy right next to the path pulls out his map, just to then wander in the other direction. Classic.

[@amusementhunter]

I was so excited to learn that the heartline coaster has sprites for turn, You can make much more interesting and reasonable layouts with that coaster when you can hack in turns!

[@5thearth]

It's not even really unrealistic-there were heartline prototypes with turns in them.

[@TheL0rd0fSpace]

Regarding #4: So close... I don't know if it's considered a cheat, but I turn on the Open RCT2 feature to allow "scenario goals to be finished early", because to me, if the goal is to get 3000 guests in two years, and I can do it in one, then it doesn't matter if something hypothetically goes wrong and I don't have the 3000 guests at the end of year two: I already beat the goal, and I did it ahead of schedule, which is arguably harder to do than completing it normally.

[@clementineshamaney5137]

Nacro post but I'd argue due to the park rating requirement, it isn't actually harder to achieve it earlier. (you have to either time advertising near the deadline or keep the guests inside with good park rating) Since both OpenRCT2 and RCT Classic have fast forward, my version of this is meeting the deadline and just fast forwarding.

[@xdanileel]

OK but there is something even more annoying in rct1: Handymen were mowing grass on default 🤯

[@FranklinAshe]

On #4 - I remember years ago in the RCT subreddit, Valdair failed a scenario by ONE. SINGLE. GUEST. That post sticks in my memory and makes me nervous every time.

[@tomothybahamothy]

I lost a very difficult scenario by less than a second

[@thomasrinschler6783]

Handymen just continuously deciding to be wandering off elsewhere away from high-vomit areas is a particular pet peeve. Even when you give them small areas to patrol, they always seem to just hang out away from where you need them.

[@nthgth]

There should be a way to prevent them from entering queue path where there's never anything to clean (under normal circumstances)

[@DarkOmegaMK2]

11.- In order to make a pretty park you decide to some pathways two tiles or even three tiles wide for the same of symmetry or aesthetics, only to find out that guests are getting lost in these wider pathways all the time.

[@PhilipMurphyExtra]

I noticed throughout the years also that can be annoying is how the fairground organ style on the Merry Go Around always seems to overlap any other music nearby, I sometimes have to end up having to turn that music off for that reason.

[@Twohomst]

I kinda love that song and play it all over my park because they will sync up and play together. It is the sound of roller coasters in my mind

[@marcinmisiek768]

No one who has played Roller Coaster Tycoon doesn't have the merry go round theme ingrained into their brains.

@@MarcelVos That is true for the cars, but not for the track itself

[@vinculaomega5283]

On the subject of point 1. Some years ago you made a video where you showed the link between guest's weight and the clothes they wear. If a guest buys a shirt in a stall, does the guest's weight change too? If so, you could pick the color to either decrease or increase the likelihood of a crash as in 1.

[@MarcelVos]

There is no such link between weight and clothes. In that video I used a custom version of the game where the clothes of the guests corresponded to their weight the moment they spawned because it made the video a lot more clear.

[@vinculaomega5283]

@@MarcelVos Right! I didn't remember that! Thank you for the quick response

[@threestoogesSC4]

I can see a series of 10 videos (or just another one like this) coming on methods you can use to address these issues (although I know you've touched on some of them already, but it would be nice to see how to address them too, in your usual educational style).

[@surprisedchar2458]

The Vomit Slip n’ Slide is what taught me to use handyman patrol grids.

[@RainingMetal]

The most annoying thing in the game for me by far are guests who don't go on rides before they leave because they have a short attention span. This is extremely bad in Pay for Ride scenarios because you can't make profit off of them whatsoever. At least in Pay for Park scenarios you get the guaranteed income from park entry.

[@HeintjeMTB]

#11 The message that you should raise the entrance fee. but then guests spawning don't even have enough money to enter the park. #12 You made an amazing spagetti ball coaster, but there is just no way you can connect it back to the station.

What about every guest getting lost on the same 2-3 tiles, on 2 tile wide paths, at the exact same time, for no aparant reason.

"I can't afford Marcel's Giant Woody." See also: "Marcel's Giant Woody looks too intense for me." "I want to get off Marcel's Giant Woody." "I'm not hungry." "I feel sick."

[@phoenixshade3]

The vomit problem is easy enough to deal with. I simply assign patrol areas for all staff. One of the most annoying things for me is when you build duelling coasters, but for some reason 90% of guests queue for only one of them, while the other sends out half-empty trains.

[@sabretooth1997]

Regarding "it's a trap": If the guests are trapped on a small path, how is the information of their displeasure able to translate into the park rating? They can't leave to find someone to complain to, they're trapped. RCT2 was also released before cell phones were super-prevalent, so it would seem unlikely that they were calling or texting park management or whatever authority issues the rating. I guess these guests must have some form of telepathy. Too bad they seem unable to teleport themselves out of unfavorable situations.

[@kackers]

i like to imagine it's dozens of guests trapped on a single tile all screaming at the guests on the regular path just a few inches away

[@sabretooth1997]

[@lelouche9894]

I think the worst is the park value. Because it can take years to overcome and it's very annoying.

[@Davtwan]

It’s situations like #2 where I pull out the Security Guard temporarily. I have them patrol the area to prevent anymore damage while the Handymen clean everything up. It takes a while for all that puke to be swept up after all. If the guard save any combination of path accessories that are worth $60 or more in total, then that guard earned themselves in. It’s probably not likely they’ll reach that total, but they’ll at least prevent any further damage to the park rating. Of course, a good set of Handymen patrolling near puke machines can help prevent this, but it’s good to have a backup plan that prevents you from ending up having to load your game to months ago.

[@nthgth]

Due to the isometric view, I once only _thought_ I placed an exit directly onto existing path.. a while later I found I was actually dropping guests off a cliff. Whoops!

[@OptimusSubPr1me]

2:15 if its getting close, I just put a one way sign to prevent people from leaving and hope that there is a enough time to attract more guests before the rating gets effected.

[@stummies]

I HATE scenarios where you have to charge per ride. I enjoy playing with money turned on, but I have no interest in babysitting all of my ride prices as they age.

[@altashiro]

I wish OpenRCT2 would add a notification which would periodically appear if a ride has a completely empty queue line.

[@kackers]

this would be really useful, just something like "Steel Coaster 1 hasn't had any riders for a while" or maybe "Many guests are complaining about the cost of Steel Coaster 1, consider lowing the price" the same way it tells you about guests saying the entrance fee is really good value

How about making a cool open plaza out of path and then realizing that the guests can't navigate anything but straight lines. Everyone is lost and there goes my park rating. I just wanted to reduce over crowding!!!

When guests get stuck/lost/generally miffed because of transport rides. Especially if you try to get fancy with said rides and/or don’t know that transit rides to get to separated parts of a park is a baaaaad idea

[@atlashugged2591]

I get the feeling this was meant to be a joke video or something since a lot of these little annoyances can be easily fixed or avoided entirely if you know how to play the game at least somewhat well. My annoyance comes from the music in RCT. The music itself is great...but I find it to be practically unusable. I don't know if it was poorly mixed or layered together or what, I'm not a sound engineer, but it never works well for me. Simple things such as rotating the camera could have huge impacts on what music you will actually hear in a park, and it barely seems to take distance into consideration. You could have a merry-go-round on the other side of the park blaring out its beautiful organ music, but it will overpower the techno or rock music you have on the dodgems or roller coaster sitting in the center of the camera. Then you turn 90 degrees clockwise and somehow the opposite is true despite never actually moving the camera. Maybe I just suck at designing aurally pleasant parks, but that's my experience with music in RCT.

[@MarcelVos]

The fact that they can easily be fixed doesn't make them less annoying. Sure, if I paid a lot of attention I could avoid most of these, but they all still happen from time to time because I'm human and make mistakes. When they happen they're annoying or frustrating.

[@atlashugged2591]

@@MarcelVos Understandable. I think I just misinterpreted the content of the video when I clicked on it. I figured it would be annoying features in RCT2, but you can't really impact them (without cheats or modifications anyways). The bobsled thing would certainly qualify for that, I think. Other ideas would be stuff like trees costing money to remove, guests refusing to ride 90% of attractions during rain...I dunno. Maybe you could make a list out of those too lol

[@kespeth2]

1. ...Or NEVER use that type of ride. 2. That's what patrol zones (The blue footsteps icon in the corner of the handyman windows) are for. Use them. 3. Keep all paths connected and this shouldn't be a problem. 4. Save often, and (unless marketing is forbidden in that scenario), use the marketing options often and early (i.e. not waiting til the last minute) too. 5. Don't be greedy. Price the rides at the Excitement rate truncated (NOT rounded) to the dime, and not a penny more. 6. Only way to cope is to either delete each path square slowly, or get the pincers out. 7. Only way is to slow it down, and, if banking turns are available, use them. 8. Another reason to research ONLY stalls/shops at maximum rate (NEVER use a lower rate, period) until both the info kiosk and ATM are available. BOTH are critical components. 9. This goes hand in hand with the necessity of an ATM, and shops and stores. And the Info Kiosk! Max out the price of umbrellas if rain is in the scenario!!!! At an obscenely high price, no one will buy them until it rains anyway, so no lost sales there. If you must, charge a dime (and no more) for bathrooms, and only if you are desperate for money. 10. I saw your review of the Heartline Twister Coaster, so I agree with you. Don't use this one, ever.

When I first saw "Get off my Lawn," I thought you'll point out that "after hiring handyman to clean up your park. But after time you see them off mowing the lawn and letting the park just be covered in puke." But I forgot that was fixed in second one. :P

[@sweetpepino1907]

In a similar vein to Get Off my Lawn!, I once started a park where I had a big main entrance plaza with stalls and such, but even though they were all in a large square in direct line of sight to the exit, my park rating plummeted because nobody could find the exit even with information kiosks. I'll never quite understand how that happened.

Accurate as hell. Lol, also to avoid the vomit thing, I use markers on every handymen and I overlap them constantly. It helps. Also I turn off the “ mow the lawn” part and they focus on pathways more

One that happens more when the parks get bigger: a guest is lost because they haven't reached the ride they wanted yet... because they're TIRED and need a break, so the extra time to get there counts it as "lost".

Idk if its something im doing wrong but for me and im surprised you didnt mention this. Mechanics not fuxing rides!!!

I feel like the scenario design & sequencing - especially compared to the first game - is genuinely dogshit to a degree that would tank 99% of other games. By experiencing RCT1's brilliant and super intuitive pacing, you realize how outright sloppy 2 is in some regards, and yet the latter still manages to improve the formula in every other way. It's still a 9/10 just by being pure fun

The ATM should already be unlocked when you start any new game anyway. It's stupid that it's not

If your ride crashes and is thus considered unsafe by the guests then wait for rainfall. The guests will not enter the ride while it is raining. This thought will override and reset the unsafe thought/status in RCT1.
