I Built the Densest Park Ever in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2

As a kid I always felt jealous of the people living outside the park because they were so close to fun rides, but my parents kept telling me I would hate it because of the noise. I now know what they mean.

I always hated them, as they are far from realistic. I always imagined how it would feel as a guest walking through such a park. Probably an absolute nightmare.

7:48 Indiana Beach is a great example of packing and overlapping rides with some built on top of, around and through other rides and pavilions. Not as many coasters as Cedar Point but it is a much smaller area. I can’t think of another US park that has done the same thing to that degree. Definitely feels like an RCT park in places!

[@TonyRedgrave]

Every time I go to Indiana Beach, it always makes me want to play RCT2 because of this exact reason.

I'd be interested in calculating the number of free air tiles in each park, dividing that by the total number of tiles, and comparing _that_ number. This assumes you haven't built underground, but you can add some biasing constants for that.

I'd hate a park but I would quite enjoy being near a school I think. Hearing children be happy is one of the few things that make this world bearable to me. Although, if you both lived near and worked at a school it may be a bit much because you would never get a break

[@romanmeneghinister1584]

Something about hyperdense parks just calls out to me. They are so intricate and bring out this strange euphoria at seeing all these tightly knit pieces worked perfectly together. Looking at them feels like an apex in ability of which i yearn to achieve purely so i may look upon my own creation with the same level of amazement and wonder

[@deejaydiabolic]

As someone who grew up playing RCT, this is amazing! Honestly, the mental acuity to lay this out is impressive

[@griflet1]

A suggestion about judging density: multiply area by the heighest ride to get a volume, then count rides. Instead of the number of coasters, take the total coaster length. This way, more track pieces equals more density.

[@HECKproductions]

this park is very special to me because back in the day i was so incredibly bad that i could only ever beat forest frontiers and thus the only park that i could unlock was this

[@sebkuip]

I remember seeing the streams and some of the rides getting names. Glad to see these names return in the video. And ofcourse, impressive work on making such a dense park without some inorganic structure.

Reminds me of how I'd always try to fill every single map tile in Theme Park World (which sadly doesn't let you stack things on top of each other). The halloween themed parks would always have giant pumpkin patches under the roller coasters, and a few gravestones at every ride entrance because obviously...

[@curtis4948]

This is the kind of madness everyone envisions when they think of RCT. this is close to peak level, but it’s always not dense enough we need a park that looks like a ball of yarn you see absolutely nothing except coaster rails and cars

[@sharkdavid]

You could also measure the density by calculating the volume occupied by rides and path of the park and dividing by the theoretical maximum. The equation is as follows: d = (r+p+v)/(H*n) where, H = Max build height n = Number of squares available to build. (i.e. park area) r = Total ride/coaster length p = Total path length v = Volume occupied by stationary rides (i.e. merry-go-roud, dodgems, twist, slide, etc. ) You'd need a table with the volumes of all the stationary rides and the number of each in the park to derive V. You could also discount r, p, or v depending on what you feel is more important. As you noted in the video, a super-dense park consisting of only roto-drops is *really* a park in the sense that guests wouldn't find it enjoyable. but I digress. Great video as always!

[@YHirschmeier]

[@AnnoyingMoose]

I love how a little creativity can expose the psychotic nature of this program. You tried to make 2 customers go insane while I found a really simple way to improve the rating that customers gave my park. Instead of listening to those that complain ("This park has no drink stands!") and responding to their complaints by building what they are looking for I would pick up the complainer and drop them in the small lake in the back of my park. After a minute or so the complainer would inevitably drown and therefore decrease the ratio of complainers to total customers! I found this to be much more economical than wasting money on pleasing people that were complaining.

[@timstuart544]

Please release a close up video of this park. No narration, no music 10 minutes close up on this park. It’s mesmerising!!

[@Hybris51129]

Paint every ride/attraction and path black and change and grass to black gravel and rename the park to "Singularity Park". The park so densely loaded with fun that even light can't escape it.

[@jordanwoods462]

Saw the thumbnail and immediately thought of your park with 1,000+ rides. You make a good point in this video though. The 1,000+ ride park seemed like a prison, but this one and your others in this series would be a lot more fun (though still hellish) for guests to visit. I love watching you push the game to its limits!

[@happyarjay]

This was my favorite senario as a kid for some reason. But my Parks never looked like any of this.😂

[@CheesecakeMilitia]

Cedar Point despite having a lot of coasters is not the IRL example I'd reference for density. Gröna Lund in Stockholm has 31 "attractions" and 8 roller coasters across its 3.8 hectares, or 8.158 at/ha and 2.105 rc/ha. I used to call this sort of thing a "Sardine Challenge" only I'd limit myself to 1 of each ride type. A few of my oldest posts on the /r/rct subreddit have some examples and for the most part it's pretty easy to fit one of every ride type and still have everything look nice without too much overlapping. The obvious exception was Micro Park, which really turns into a feat of engineering on original RCTLL since you can't arbitrarily raise rides with the shift key. I ended up having to re-landscape a 2x4 section of the map into a sky-high tunnel since the path support limit was becoming a limiting factor on vertical expansion.

[@JRPGGUY]

I dont know why but the out of bound areas in RCT were always fascinating.

[@invalid_user_handle]

I'd personally say the best fitting name for this park would be Kowloon Park, taking the name from Kowloon Walled City; which was a 2.6 hectare micro-city in Hong Kong that held over 35,000 residents before it's eviction and demolition in 1994, formed due to some peculiar border enclaves leading to a very legally-gray zone of China with none of the laws of the British-owned Hong Kong. The name really fits here, especially since the theme park is surrounded by a regular town, just like the Walled City was, causing both of them to stick out very obviously.

[@HannibalGraham]

I used to use a "trainer" on RCT1. I would send busses and busses of guests into my park then make it to where nobody can leave. I would make a coaster that would have like 50 nausea and intensity. In that game, if the track was new and untested, people would get on it. So they'd get on it, instantly vomit, then I'd remove a track and put it back so they would ride again. All the drinks and food were free but to use the bathroom, it costed $20. I also hired as many entertainers as possible and obviously nobody to clean the park. Almost every single person had a red face and were absolutely livid. It was good fun.
