Never underestimate the joy your videos bring us Marcel. We love them!

[@PatriciaSGracia]

[@RhdgNl]

Weird logic: brakes and block brakes do not give G forces in the game. In real life I can handle about any coaster unless they have a way too intense block brake at the end. That will make me the most nauseous. In the game it seems that a train can stop from 100 to 0 in a blink of an eye and it doesn't add anything to the nausea rate.

They installed a tile later that morning to complete the circuit, but the contractor put it in backwards, and... I can't... I can't think about it anymore.

Time moves a lot faster in RCT so that 5 seconds before drowning might actually be a few hours for the guests. You should actually do a calculation based on how long a year lasts in the game, then figure out how long the guests are actually struggling for before they drown.

[@Lemon_Inspector]

That is unexpectedly horrific.

[@fromthegamethrone]

This

[@deathpony698]

so maybe they can tread water for like a couple hours, and then they drown

[@Ltulrich]

Great idea

[@OzzyMcBean]

This has also got me thinking about how slow some of the rides would be as well. And how slowly the guests fall from heights when dropped... Their terminal velocity seems to be the same as their walking pace. But I wonder how slow that actually is once you calculate how much faster their time is!

[@SmithOfGear92]

Here's one for you: *Guests get so pissed off at the sight of litter and vomit that they become Vandals and start kicking over trash cans and breaking benches... resulting in fewer places for guests to dispose of their garbage and rest to ease their nausea, further exacerbating the problem that angered them in the first place*

[@tubefan93]

@Pat Smith sounds pretty much like real life to me

[@SmithOfGear92]

@Bryce Pruitt I place bathrooms and first aid stations near the exits of high-nausea risk rides... I place tons of benches and trash cans as Marcel always recommends... I have enough handymen in my park to populate a small country... I do everything right, and these guests still coat the path with their puke. And even though I've got plenty of handymen, I keep seeing paths covered in vomit. By the time they get to the vomit sea, it's already too late; that fool who decided to deliberately lose his lunch on my path stepped in too many puddles of his own mouth crap and is now going Full Doom Slayer on the benches and trash cans that could've helped him. *Ingrates...* They're not just clowns; they're the entire damned circus. I should place a Circus in my park if it's available in the rides list; they can go live there.

[@ryansmifh]

[@DragRedSim]

One thing that bears little resemblance to reality for me: there are no groups of people, and no families. Every guest goes to the park on their own, and pays for everything themselves. Seriously, who is supervising the kids?

If it's the guests, then why don't they explode when they fall onto the ground from 100 meters up?

[@sirrliv]

Maybe they all have shock absorbing legs like Chel from Portal? That way vertical shocks don't affect them, only lateral shocks.

#7 In structural engineering, we call this type of thinking "sky hooks". We use this term mainly to make fun of other people suggesting to remove / have complicated supports for structures and equipment.

[@OzzyMcBean]

Like in Charlie and The Great Glass Elevator!

[@quazar5017]

Skyhooks are a serious concept for space launch assists. Essentially you have a long, spinning cable in orbit, that rotates to the direction of movement, so that the end closer to the planet reaches a low speed (or no speed) relative to the ground. Then you can hook something onto it and it is pulled into space. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyhook_(structure)

Other weird pieces of RCT logic, huh? How about guests being able to survive drops from hundreds of meters in the sky and being perfectly fine once they land? Or guests being infinitely patient for long queue lines so long as there is a guy in a panda costume nearby?

[@LaserBread]

The best part is that's still a thing in newer sims. Planet Coaster does make you care for your staff, but staff still never go home and some will only ask to be paid $80. Per month. If they're working 24 hour days, that's an hourly wage of 11¢. Even if their job was realistically an average 8-hour workday, that's still a wage of 33¢. It gets funnier when you think about the money the way I do, which is its printed value times 1000. But even then, $80k is more than most Americans make in a year.

[@emmata98]

@@LaserBread with time they demand training, more money and they need breakes. Just the "new" personal mechanic they added years ago. And money gereral is down, since park attendance is way down to irl. So a Coaster for just 20 grand? That is as expensive as like 1 train (likely not enouth). Coasters cost millions and the scenery is kind of as expensive. Also in parks like the Europa-Park (witch bigger, than the biggest plot in Planet Coaster), has an average attendance of over 12 k people a day, and has 5 million guests/a. So on good days, they are in the multiple of 10 thousands. Also it takes years irl, to fund a new project, and that would be boring, especially for bad players, since they probably wouldn't be able to make money at all.

[@Phoenix-zu6on]

btw: high explosive is a special type of explosive that detonates using a shockwave, low explosives also exist, but they detonate with a chemical reaction wich is much slower, and they are usually mixed physically, whereas high explosives are chemical mixtures(so oxides and reactants are within the same molecule). for example black powder is a low explosive, but Semtex is a high explosive

[@spritz19]

Here's some weird stuff... 1. Slides can break down even though there isn't any control mechanism to it - it's just a slide. 2. Guests can hold many, many things at once but only have two hands. (Balloon, umbrella, park map, cuddly toy, on-ride photo, food/drink, coupons) Perhaps they brought a bag or have big pockets. 3. Guests are somehow capable of seeing a ride they think is "too intense/too expensive" from an above-ground queue line even if the ride is underground. 4. Staff have incredibly cheap wages compared to real life. Imagine getting paid just $40/month cleaning up endless lines of puke outside of a Gravitron. (It's a video game thing though, so it's understandable) 5. Guests don't get tired at all despite being at your park for 20+ hours. Like, do you sleep at all? 6. (Another video game quirk) Other guests don't do anything when they see vandals commit a crime. They don't stop them or anything - just leave it to the park staff to take care of it.

[@OzzyMcBean]

I'd love to see you do a video about the sounds of RCT2. I think they're all very nostalgic and make up a huge part of why the game is so enjoyable!

[@laffi]

TLDR: The prices are cheap to make the game easier to understand. Real prices would add one or more zeros after the price ingame. 1:25 Even as a kid, my logic for this was that it would be easier to understand the prices for someone that is new to the game. I think I also thought of the prices adding a one or a few extra 0s if it was real life. Like the merry go around costing $450, would probably be prices (in real life) from $4500 to $55000 (that last price I checked on Google). So if you made a Rollercoaster that cost $100.000 dollars to make, maybe that would probably be closer to $10 million dollars in real life.

[@E-102_Gamma]

#3 (2:35) actually makes perfect sense, in light of peeps' insane physical strength.

Same, I used to think that the price was like x1000 if it where in real life. Not sure how much sense that makes, I know some rides are a bit costly but I doubt a basic Merry-Go-Round would cost nearly half a millon Euro (maybe 50 grand for a new one).

Use cheap transport rides to transfer guests to the main park, otherwise they just hang out near the beginning because there are no paths for them to get to the main park? Use "No Entrance" signs to steadily guide guests back to the entrance, but also past rides that lead them to the rest of the park. They don't want to pay for a ride, then they get steadily sorted to the main entrance

I really love the idea of scientifically analyzing the in-universe reasons for weird video game logic things, like the "really dense and heavy bones" explanation. Planet Coaster shows us that guests are incredibly bouncy as well, so if we assume that these are the same universes, perhaps the guests are actually more similar to a balloon. Organs floating around in some sort of gas with their "skin" being a hard exoskeleton similar to insects. The no entry signs probably use the same impenetrable force-field that surrounds paths

[@sagacious03]

People in Roller Coaster Tycoon can break benches & bend lamps with a single hit, phase through other people, survive 10 g's unaffected, or even 50 g's with mild nausea, can somehow influence park ratings while trapped (Telepathy? Hive mind?).... But they can't swim, & any ride crash from a roller coaster to a dinghy can kill them. What a strange civilization. Anyway, another neat video! Thanks for uploading!

[@Chosen1Creator]

The prices of rides aren't that illogical if you consider the extreme time dilation. Guests move immensely slow compared to the passage of time represented in the game, so the number of transactions guests make in the game's month is much less than in a real life month. If the rides were realistically priced, you might have to charge thousands for a hotdog or something. It would be interesting to see a video about this.

[@CheesecakeMilitia]

One weird thing is also how cheap it is to move land - similar to cheap coasters, but it makes you wonder why real places don't just build artificial terrain for their terrain coasters. The *weirder* thing is the story of how Marineland in Canada did exactly that when building Dragon Mountain - they built a 50+ meter tall mountain and proceeded to build a coaster all around it (originally planning to include a replica of Niagara Falls, too). It's one of the most unbelievable stories of coaster budgeting I've heard.

[@BNuttSack]

Technically the park isn't always open because the "year" ends in October and starts in March

[@AceAviations2]

Which in a strange way is also another example of RCT logic, given that the Wacky Worlds expansion includes Australia and South America, two continents with their seasons backwards due to them being on the other side of the planet (Sourtuen Hemisphere).

[@EpsilonFilms]

Always found it odd how all guests arrive to the park alone. No friends, no family, no traveling in groups. Poor loners!

[@recipesforruntz5317]

My biggest confusion is the fact that guests enter the park being “eh” or angry in most parks rather than being super happy and excited :)

[@MaruonYoutube]

"the Goliath cost less €25.000 in RCT2" I know what I'll save up to put in on my backyard next now!

[@iainwalker8701]

Drowning is quicker when you have more energy. I know you have explained it at some point saying that the more energy means the drowning animation plays quicker but it is just backwards.

[@johnfoltz8183]

Nauseous guests will only vomit on paths and not in the grass or other ground, or in a trash can or in a restroom

[@ZontarDow]

The roller coasters are so cheap *because* they're made of explodium

[@georgep8854]

Rides are so cheap and break down often because they are made in China

[@HISKILP]

Weird Logic: Guest dont pay for a 20€ umbrella Also Guest: Pay 20€ for umbrella because it rains

[@FOREIGNSLOTMANIAC]

Guests will stay in the park for years, yes, but alternatively they will be happy with staying only 5 minutes too. Sometimes paying quite considerably for the privilege.

[@mrister24]

Your dry humor is what keeps me coming back to your videos even though I stopped playing this game long ago. I giggled when the line of people barreled into the bathroom.

[@cindysterre7413]

6:57 Roronoa Zoro? :D

[@Olivefocaccia]

This was a really good video, I was so surprised when it ended bc I was completely engrossed in the weird stuff about this game!

[@nicecreamsundae]

I always love that guests will exit a ride even if there is a 40 foot drop outside of the exit

[@TJAW17]

One weird logic moment I have is that Guests can't vomit or litter when on underground paths. I have no idea why this is the case but if you were to build an entire park underground you wouldn't need handymen.

[@RosimInc7]

Same goes for queue lines. Oh, very respectful guests!

[@karmatt3098]

Make a video with the questions you’d ask Chris Sawyer if given the opportunity!

[@cirrusm.2829]

In his Q&A Marcel said he wouldn't ask him any question but thank Chris for making his favourite game

[@keiyakins]

Honestly the only question I have for him is what trauma does he have related to heartline twisters

[@lumindoesvideos]

@@keiyakins did he have to deal with Great Adventure's Ultra Twister in the past? I hear that thing was quite annoying to operate because it's vertical lift hill was horrible for evacuations and the track kept trying to destroy itself... Ultra Twister is what the in game heart line twister coaster is based off of and if that's the only Chris ever rode/saw, it would make sense.

[@Matthias1906]

love the accent because saying "run a real theme park" sounded like "ruin a real theme park" which is also correct

[@SpaceR0bot]

I wanna know how the spiral slide breaks down? Like how 😭 What’s there to break?

[@rattyeely]

The spiral slide is a Helter Skelter, right? They're typically made out of wood, so I assume the wood just breaks after getting too old

[@jackpijjin4088]

Fat people.

[@gowzahr]

Technically, the park isn't open 365 days a year, since a year in RCT only goes from March to October.

[@UltimateCarl]

The weirdest thing is that this video doesn't already have those 6000 Likes within an hour of uploading it.

[@RaynmanPlays]

The price difference explanation is simple: RCT2 takes place in a world where we never embraced fiat currency, and thus inflation never took hold.

[@triplej755]

7:10 Oh great, Dora The Explorer is in the game now.

[@claudetheclaudeqc6600]

lol

[@Jeroen_a]

You forgot something.... People can't collide with anything, EXCEPT when they are in a queue. Then they seem to bump into each other. Unless they are leaving the queue. Then all these rules go back into the bin.They can't see staff and thus the Entertainers.... they just notice that they are feeling more energetic at some parts of the map when the entertainer is within X amount of tiles away.

[@Hamster2k]

I'm pretty sure this can be a series, plenty of logic loopholes to go!

[@musikaalimielinen]

Love the pride colour scheme of the coaster at 1:16!

[@DjinnZhad]

1:03 "i have no idea how reachable this is" 2 hours later, 3k likes

[@JPDillon]

Your theory on big bones guest explaining both their indestructibility & their lack of swimming is great, but my actual favorite is the exploding inflatable boats on the log flume. They must use hydrogen to inflate them!

[@darkbreaker9767]

"six thousand likes in one week" he says Marcel, you've got over four thousand likes in four hours. Great video!

[@TronaldJDump-zi9fg]

Vandals are uber-humanly strong. Rides without rails like Dinghy Slide or Bobsleigh doesnt fall of unbanked curves at high speed. Coasters that look like fun to ride have awfull stats if they miss 1 or more stat requirements eg if you miss min drop height cause you go only down with helixes. Water rides are sticked to the track. In contrast to the low construction costs you can charge an insanely high ticket price for some rides, but if you go only 0.10 Credits to high, there is a hard cut and a ride that has a very high throughput with eg 18.50 tickets is completely ignored if it costs 18.60 to ride. *Guests must be clones somehow.*

[@PeteR90468]

Well, I've never drowned an entertainer before. I need to try that now.

[@SupersuMC]

Then recover the suit and hire another with the same name and costume. ;-)

[@Croz89]

It's at least realistic that they can't swim, all that foam padding and fake fur absorbs water quite quickly.

[@rocketscientist1400]

6000 likes in 1 week, more like 1 day, Congrats for reaching the milestone you set for the video, just shows how active your community is.

[@thegeek0017]

Here’s a logic problem for ya: Ive never played RCT2 in my life and yet MarcelVos is one of my favorite youtubers

[@OrdinaryHumanYT]

I believe every guest in Rollercoaster ate a DevilFruit and therefore are unable to swim.

[@goofguy316]

Do a video explaining on-ride photos! And their pricing!

[@Nemmy72]

RCT Guests are beyond human, ascended to accomplish there one goal, judging rides. Their new forms have no need for sleep, and have adapted to withstand any amount of G's, yet swimming isn't part of testing rides, so they aren't trained to do it. It's a hivemind too, so they're able to squeeze together (and share toilets) with surprising efficency.

[@jordanfer500]

You smell marcel vos!! - Sincerely, a heartline coaster fan.

[@MarcelVos]

At least you're not a hypercoaster fan.

[@gymnasiast90]

I’m going to end Marcel’s whole career by making the Heartline Twister’s ratings _not_ suck.

[@AHumanBeingNamedAlex]

Proceeds to use openrct2s command that alters coaster stats

[@johnfoltz8183]

There is no day/night cycle in RCT/RCT2, and can stay at the park indefinitely until they want to go home.
