My number one feature I wish was in the game is transport rides actually being used as transport rides by guests. I have no idea the amount of work that would be involved in that but I'd love it

[@theghostofthomasjenkins9643]

seriously, that's like the one glaring flaw.

I think Parkitect has that feature. Pretty good RCT-like game.

[@Davtwan]

Unfortunately, giving the guests smarter pathfinding severally drops they frame rate as your computer has to do a ton of complex calculations at once for bigger parks.

[@RadioactiveSherbet]

I always found it silly that these games, even later ones (like RCT3 & Planet Coaster) don't seem to have the concept of railroad crossings. Meanwhile, dinky little OpenRCT2 comes along and finally brings that rather basic feature.

[@Phoenix-zu6on]

not really, you can represent the paths as weighted nodes and do precalculated point to point direction, then you can add randomness or load distribution to make it more realistic and diverse and then just do p2p hopping. this is, in essence, how IP packet travel works. @@Davtwan

[@negil]

It's always kinda stuck me as funny how so many of the scenarios in RCT present you with a beautiful timeless natural landscape and then tell you to build a theme park on it. Because rollercoasters are more important than trees!

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

A lot of early theme parks were actual parks that slowly had rides added to them over time. Some of those still exist today, even.

[@SP_Rocks1408]

Building a wooden coaster feels like redecorating your park with the corpses of nature's children.

[@countluke2334]

There used to be a theme park in a rather remote corner of Germany. Remote in a sense that it was more than 30min by car from the nearest Autobahn exit, and that is really quite rare. For 40 years they kept the balance between being a wildlife park (deer, eagles etc), a forest to walk in, and a theme park. They eventually closed because they couldn't get enough guests and couldn't build more exciting coasters. A pity really, they had one of the greatest log flumes build into the mountain, and an endlessly long summer toboggan run.

[@dustinmorrison6315]

The irony of a wooden coaster above trees which took more trees cut down to build than just cutting down the ones already there is hilarious.

[@FerreTrip]

I hadn't thought of that XD

[@skudzer1985]

I think a cool park would be building under Fungus Woods so that it looks like a forest from outside but underground it's an insane amusement park. Maybe there could be a few coasters that peak above the ground level at a few points but the majority of the park is completely hidden.

[@lo0katmyn4me]

The temporary park closure got me thinking... I know the winter months are skipped and you can read that as closing for the winter, but can you beat a scenario if you expand that closure, and manually close the park for larger chunks of the year? Maybe only operating during the summer + a few weeks or so, like May through August?

[@nthgth]

Cool challenge idea. I'd say it's okay not to go to the trouble of kicking everyone out with the No Entry banners though, that's a big headache

[@MA-naconitor]

Businesses when the government tells them to be eco-friendly:

[@Arcexey]

@MA-naconitor hahahahahahahaha. the water would instead be the Green color from business pollution, but they paid off the government to legally name change green to Aquamarine so that guests feel safer being around polluted water. parks have a new expense: lawyers needed for the lawsuits. your park now has an OSHA rating you must keep up with. you may think that's guest 5389 but that's actually IRS investigator 5389 checking out your park.

[@HuntergamerbenOfficial]

yea thats pretty anoyying when you want to cut a few trees in your backyard are not allowed mean while a massive company about to destroy an entire forest is all right

[@citrusjuicebox]

I really like this challenge. When I was a kid struggling through these scenarios the first time, I really liked a lot of the scenery that already existed, and I felt really bad whenever I had to build through them. This was very satisfying to watch.

I hated all entrance fee scenarios in rct2. They work irl because parks don't open 24/7 dammit

[@VestedUTuber]

There's a couple things you can do to make it easier to cycle guests. 1. Have plenty of stalls. Food, drinks, merchandise. 2. Use on-ride photo sections whenever possible. 3. Use a "guest remover". Build a maze with an underground exit and no path from its exit, this will drop guests into the void underneath the map, removing them without hurting your park rating. 4. Try closing the park and reopening it every now and then.

[@LimeGreenTeknii]

Yeah, I'm thinking like in real life like at Disney, you have to pay per day, right? It'd make more sense if guests had to pay per month or something.

Conssidering that majority of coasters built are made out of wood i'd say that to preserve the forest here few just like it had to fall. But it is another showcase of impressive skills, as someone who dose struggle with even dynamite dunes this level of pathing seems like black magic to me.

[@Tepalus]

Imagine if trees had roots in this game. lol

[@VoxVocisCruora]

Reminds me of Knoebels in Pennsylvania, only Knoebels is pretty well integrated with the natural forest around it. It's honestly why it's my favorite amusement park, it's so pretty and smells really nice all the time. Yeah, there's a bunch of areas where it's been deforested for the park, but the rest of the it is still pretty natural and the forest is literally right there at the very edges of the park. It's a lot better-looking than Hershey, that's for sure. A lot more fun too. You've said that the wooden roller coaster is your favorite a lot, and I'm not sure if you know about it already or not, but Knoebels also has the world's only trackless (or it's technically a bobsled) wooden coaster, Flying Turns. Kinda sad the game is older than this coaster, bc building one of those would probably be super fun. It's certainly fun to ride in real life. Like roller skating on a chair lmao.

Graphics and details are insane, but it is extremely difficult to build stuff, even path and shops are hard to build. have not tried building a coaster yet. kinda makes me miss the RCT1 and 2 days....I could manage as a kid back then. also there is no time constrain (it has more of a simulation approach where u can speed up time, the economy is easy to manage coz all u need is to raise the price on new rides) I digress, I love watching you play through these insane challenges...
