It took me 400 HOURS to beat this Level

[@JamesTobiasStewart]

This feels like something from Dante's version of hell. You're a guest and for centuries, maybe over a millennium, you find yourself endlessly wandering the path with your fellow prisoners, surrounded by broken rides and snack stalls that you are long since sick of. The Entertainers still wander the park, trying fruitlessly to amuse you even after centuries of the same costumes and the same dances. The Handymen ignore you pleas for help and continue to maintain the plants and clean the paths, as if you're not even there. The Security Guards wander almost silently, ignoring questions, only barking rebukes at 'vandals', the same rebukes repeated over and over. You haven't seen the Mechanics in centuries, some say they got out somehow, but you know there is no way out, the sign is undeniable. Sometimes the urge will strike you try and do something else, to try and climb over the sign, to duck under it, to grab a Jetski and make for the opposite bank, to try and climb the fence out, but you never will, instead you will do what you have done for so very long... you keep walking. Only after countless circuits are you finally presented the only escape you will ever be offered; as the sound of cheering comes from the sky, the ground simply vanishes beneath you, the water almost seeming to rise up to meet you all. After so very long, it is over and you can only pray that whatever comes next is kinder than whatever god did this to you.

This is for me by far the best video of you Marcel which is with storyline + challenge completion. You have really advanced yourself in making videos with a combination of entertainment, storyline, humour and still the very basic RCT2 gameplay with the will of always trying to push the limit. One could easily compare this video to your longest ever ride time videos to see how huge you have evolved. A great job done and a great great video Marcel, thank you for making this.

Just imagine some lord in Medieval Europe opened a theme park at the onset of the 6th century AD, only for his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-greatgrandson to close it 1519 years later. That's how long it took in game to complete this scenario.

[@MrTechnofuzz]

I appreciate how informative your videos are even for people who claim to be experts (such as myself). Interesting points that you made that i didn't know: guests contribute to park value, and guests will spawn no matter what happens, albeit at a very slow pace and thirdly mechanics have a chance to get caught in an exit and will fall and drown over water. It's always a good time watch a marcel vos video :)

This inevitably brings me to another question - IF you would release all those guests and hired a new mechanic, is there a possibility of "restoring" the park? How long it would take?

Video idea/suggestion: fail a scenario by going in debt too much. Pick a map where entry is free. Max out loan, spend all the money, get rid of all the incomes sources. Remove anything of valve (selling objects). Then once your negitive, you have no way to recover from it :)
