Block Sections - How To Use Block Brakes In Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic

Should you use block sections in Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic? In this video I break down how to use them, the pros, cons and best ways to use block brakes and block sectioned operating modes in Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic

Another great RCT video, Tony! I prefer using block zones since I like to make my coasters a bit more realistic. I won't always do this, but sometimes I'll make them long enough to include a mid course break run to accommodate 3 train operation. But it's great to see that everyone has their own preference and unique play style for this game.

Thank you so much! I think they are definitely a function I will be using more often, especially on longer coasters where continuous circuit mode would limit throughput with three trains.

this video kept me entertained during the Superman escape from krpton breakdown. but i think block breaks are very under used as myself i dont really use them myself. also another tip block sections dont stop working during like brake failure breakdowns so i always put some in my ending breaks even if the ride isnt in block section mode.

Man, That's good. And plays metal music when the brakes hit

I almost always use them, just because it makes the rollercoaster look so much cleaner.

Try two stations one exit one entrance. Guest exit without having to wait

Error on the video: A looping coaster only need 6 station pieces for a 7 car long train (the corkscrew need 7 stations for 7 cars) Special hint: Having the number of train being 2y=

Increase throughput by 1000 guests per hour by having 2 stations and block brakes before each station, one station for entry and one station for exit, if using boosters then have a space just outside the entry station, always keep about 25 seconds between blocks, so you can have a 5 car system and 7 block brakes, a train will always be ready to go and to still get 5000 guest per hour on big coasters.

This is great advice, thank you for sharing this tip!
