Is it possible to excavate Crazy Castle before beating it?

Lowering the land costs a lot of money, so in this video I challenged myself to make so much money that I could completely excavate the scenario Crazy Castle.

[@kwatar54]

Sometimes archaeologists keep stuff, but in the field they will actually record and then dismantle ruins that they excavate to get to more ruins below them. Marcel is just trying to get to the virgin soil here so future archaeologists will think his park was first ever in existence there.

What is the best coaster you can make without using more than four of any single track element. Any coaster type. For clarification, small flat left turn, small banked left, large flat left, etc, are all different elements. This limit also includes the station. I think it would be an interesting challenge, but obviously up to you. Thank you so much for the content!

[@jonnnnniej]

With the station counting as well its impossible with normal coasters cause you need at least left, right, up and down. Right?

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

@@jonnnnniej No, I think he meant that each track element can be used up to 4 times, so the station would be 4 tiles long.

[@StefanVeenstra]

If you finished with 1953 guests, that would have been absolutely dark, but perfect.

[@JasonPullara]

How much money could you extract from a single guest - the only guest allowed to enter your park?

[@GurschachX]

You know, at first I wasn't sure if this was a possibility, but there's actually a good way to do it. 1. Build the whole park separate from the path where guests can access it. 2. Build a one-way no entry path leading to the park so as not to harm the park value for trapping a guest in your park. 3. Only charge admission for one guest and then immediate make park entry free. 4. Build a mini park (merry-go-round and stalls) at the beginning where everything is free to keep the other guests occupied (again for the sake of park value). 5. Charge out the wazoo for rides in the separate part of the park and see how long that guest will spend in the park before wanting to leave. I'm all for this idea, Marcel Vos should give it a go.

[@rubenvanbelzen1940]

I’ve had guests in my park for over 20 hours, so probably very much

[@o76923]

I'd love to see a slight variant on that. Instead of a loneliness challenge where only one person is allowed in the park, have a rich uncle pennybags challenge where everything must be completely free for everyone except a single guest trapped in a separate section of the park, presumably full off ATMs.

[@DoritoTime]

Most rides require 2 guests to run, most likely because rendering seats with only one guest in them would have required more sprites for each vehicle and would have taken up disk space

[@DoritoTime]

So basically one guest would only be able to ride things like the racecar variant of the car ride and the mini suspended flying coaster

[@FumbleSquid]

I instantly knew what was going to happen to all those guests when you introduced the water lol

[@InsanestFoxOfAll]

Hey, here's an idea for a challenge, Maintenance Madness: Every ride you design must be able to kill its riders on a failure (I.E. Station brake failure). You are allowed only one maintenance worker. Both of these have some rather interesting secondary effects, the ride design constraint would prohibit some simpler micro-coasters, requiring a bit of creativity to fulfill that rather morbid design requirement. The single maintenance worker would also likely force you to design your park around all rides being easily reached by him so you can really get your money's worth.

I expected a quality video as always but I didn't expect something so engaging just from the title. I'm curious about something though. How much work would it take to make a Heartline, or other terrible coasters get to 10 excitement? What would their other stats be at by that point? Could be a fun challenge or could just be amusing to see what a 10 excitement heartline looks like since I doubt it would really resemble the default look

Well, it seems like the obvious progression is to see if you can beat a scenario whilst raising all the land as high as it will possibly go!

[@samueldionne9675]

Ideas similar to this... I'm no RTC expert, but here are some ideas for you to riff on. --Completing a scenario with the park completely underground (or just elevating the entire park land to max height). --Completing a scenario but you cannot increase or decrease the height of paths or rides. If there is a mountain or slope of the land, you MUST build underground or using supports to maintain altitude. Rides like the Observation Tower cannot be built higher than the base unit. Negative points for completing this in Forest Frontier or any other park with little to no elevation changes. --Completing a scenario but all the rides must be built outside the park (no part of the ride can be built on or above a tile that is within the boundaries of the park). --Completing a scenario but every single tile in the park MUST have a scenery piece on it before end of scenario. Bonus points if this can be done in a scenario where you cannot remove scenery. --Completing a scenario but you are not allowed to build washrooms (or food stalls or drink stalls or all three). --Completing a scenario but you can only charge enough to get 0.10 euros of profit per purchase of anything in the park. --Completing a scenario but you only are only allowed to make profit from on-ride pictures. --Completing a scenario but you cannot charge more than 1 euro per ride or stall items. --Completing a scenario but you are only allowed to use rides of the _________ type (or even a single ride). --Completing a scenario but you cannot attract more than 100 guests over the scenario goal (if a scenario asks for 2000 guests in the park, you cannot go over 2100 guests: getting 2101 guests fails the scenario immediately). --Completing a scenario but every queue line must be at least 100 tiles long. --Completing a scenario but you cannot use queue lines. Bonus points for not using single-entry rides like the maze, the mini-golf, and the slide. --Completing a scenario but you cannot use pre-built rides and you cannot undo any build actions (so if you build a roller coaster but get stuck somehow and cannot complete it, you cannot undo previous build steps to correct the error, nor can you delete the build; you just end up with an incomplete coaster that cannot be sold; same for building paths, queue lines, stalls, etc.) --Completing a scenario but you cannot hire any staff at all. Hope this gives you some food for thought.

[@claudetheclaudeqc6600]

let me respond to every challenges 1. Totally possible, just need some more money and that's it 2. A bit annoying, but it's like Rainbow valley, minus the trees can be removed and the tower rides have a certain height to either, not crash or being stuck, roto-drop (technically can work whit the base only) and observation need at least 9 meters (base+1 vertical piece) and the launched tower need at least 18 meters. 3. That one need cheats, so not a challenge possible 4. Just do as normal, but adding scenery on each tile 5. This one is easy if you have an quite short playtrough to do, like forest frontiers, but it's hell if it was in armity airfield 6. Just annoying, but still possible 7. I'm not sure 8. Just using a good coaster type and voilà! 9. Armity Airfield simulator? 10. Possible, just every queue line become a CCQL (Classic Cody Queue Line, which it's knoleged as a very long queue line), AKA, "Cody Wakins simulator?" 11. Just another annoyance 12. annoying, but possible 13. again, same agurment as number 5

[@samueldionne9675]

@@claudetheclaudeqc6600 Thanks for the feedback. Question: about the one with building outside the park, isn't there something with building rights that exists? For example, in Dinky Park you can technically just play in the space given, but you can also buy land that is not connected to the park as well as building rights that allows you to build above the ground but you cannot build on said ground to reach the rest of the land of the park. Given a scenario with lots of building rights for sale, would that still be possible?
