What is the Longest Queue Line Possible in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2?

We've all waited in line for a long time in a theme park, but that's nothing compared to how long queue lines can get in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2...

Imagine being lucky enough to be the first person to enter the world's longest queue line only to find yourself at the entrance building of the universe coaster

[@rmac3217]

I wonder if you would adapt. After years, you may be able to read, cook, go to the bathroom etc as long as the coaster had slow sections, maybe some block breaks.

[@theuncalledfor]

[@FailBucketFilms]

Or worse, you are at the very end of the longest queue line for the universe coaster...

[@Tydusis1]

A truly generational ride. You get in line, and your great-great-great-great....great-great-great-grandkids finally get on, and then their great-great-great-great...great-great-great-grandkids get off.

I did get a pang of genuine existential dread at the words "...after the Universe Coaster has finished". I can only imagine the quantum soup The Queue would be floating around in at that time. (I also enjoyed how the monorail track looks somewhat like an infinity symbol.)

[@anonymouswizzard5680]

Would not an uncountable infinity of queuing guests also be assigned an infinite string of characters? Sounds like the start of an amusing math problem; replace buses with families and hotels with the queue position.

Between this and the various iterations of the Universe Coaster, I feel like Marcel is building SCPs that keep the riders in a state of suspended animation

I don't think the Universe Coaster agrees

[@joseaca1010]

What’s even more amazing is that the promos on the TV survive as long as the guests. They probably saw the same promos billions of times, but it’s still entertaining enough for them to stay in the queue.

@@rmac3217 - No...?

[@theuncalledfor]

The park can exist indefinitely. It's not on our Earth. Their universe does not end. The TV's probably have a steady stream of fresh material coming in from the outside world, or from the park's internal entertainment studio (built outside map limits so not rendered ingame).

[@rmac3217]

@@theuncalledfor Or the RCT guests are ultra advanced humans in the future, that's why they think in such simple terms and sheepilly walk to their death, even lay for it. They can tap into the screens with their brain chips and watch whatever they want though, as long as it's allowed by their murderous overlord providing them bathrooms.

[@ismaelsantos5378]

@@theuncalledfor Also, after watching maybe two thousand different adds they start repeating as you probably already forgot how this all started. I use a similar trick when dancing salsa: I don't know that many figures, only like 20, so what I do is make a sequence of 10 figures and repeat that until the music stops, at which point I use one of the 5 or 6 finish moves I know how to properly execute. No random lady every figures out I'm running on repeat as it takes a lot of dancing and knowing your dance partner to figure that out.

[@RainingMetal]

Usually I make my lines long enough to cover just two trains' worth of guests to prevent them from complaining about long lines and getting unhappy. In hindsight this may be the reason why many guests enter and exit my park without doing anything since the lines for my rides are already full.

[@VictorPenteado]

Long lines are usefull to keep guests out of paths preventing overcrowding

[@JasonPullara]

Ah, glad to see Marcel finally announcing that he's been hired as a Disney Imagineer.

[@BusterBeachside]

Accurate "DMV on a Wednesday morning" experience. Also, I like how every video about limits eventually comes back to the heat death of the universe. Perhaps the "park exit" would be a better alternative after all.

[@CompleteAnimation]

If there is a hell, and if Marcel Vos ever did anything worthy of going there (highly unlikely, you're awesome!) I bet he'd probably be forced to live out the life of a guest in one of these "longest possible" videos.

[@zach11241]

I love the entertainment show at 2:07! That said, you should wind the queue line around various stalls, bathrooms, etc... so the guests in line can see what they’re missing!

[@Apiem1]

Amazing video as always. I would love to see what the maximum possible throughput is of any ride, and, as a bonus challenge, if you could manage to get at least a thousand guests in queue for it at once.

[@enfynet]

I regularly get over 5k per hour, so it's probably pretty high. Really the limit would be close to how long it takes to load and dispatch a vehicle. You'll have a limit due to diminishing returns of capacity vs vehicle length.

And you advertised rollercoasters, but they are ‘coming soon’. Wait, that’s real life...

[@kaipakta817]

It was a tale of legend... an entire land covered in colourful tiles and railings, an endless plane- a shrine to patience, I suspect. Today it lies in ruin. The tiles are cracked, the railings rusted, billions upon billions of televisions with blank screens, a few here and there showing static where their wires barely connect to the grid. The bones of thousands lay, passing in wait. Were they at peace? Was it a life fulfilled, to live waiting for something so grand that thousands of others would too? I know it not...

[@Soonjai]

"Vouchers for free ride on Old DMV lady" sounds very naughty, but then again, it´s a Marcel Vos video, this kind of humor is somewhat expected.

Great job with this daring experiment that works very well. For me, I would not have same courage as you since I don't like my queue lines in my RCT2 (or RCT1) be NO more than 6-7 minutes. But for Entertaiment purpose, this hits the mark.

[@dustinmorrison6315]

We went to Disney World on Christmas Day one year and experienced this in real life. I didn't know Disney had a maximum capacity, but fire safety laws are their limits.

[@theuncalledfor]

Since RCT2 guests are immortal (cannot die of old age, hunger, or thirst) and have no outside responsibilities, the only thing that could motivate them to leave the queue is boredom. The TV's keep them entertained forever, so they have no motivation to leave, regardless of how long they wait. No matter how long they wait, they have exactly as much time outside the park to look forward to as they would have if they left right now. They have no concept of "wasting" their time, beyond simply not enjoying the current moment. They could stand still, not feeling or thinking anything, for TREE(3) years, and be perfectly content. They are so human, yet so alien, simply by having our mortal limitations removed.

I really enjoyed the existential dread about queue lines

[@SonOfFurzehatt]

This is actually a slight under-estimate. Something I just discovered - the shape of the queue has an effect. Straight queue line sections hold more guests than corner pieces. I built two 15-tile queues, one totally straight and one zig-zag. The zig-zag can hold 75 guests while the straight one can hold 80. Therefore, more than 5.3 guests would fit on average if the straight runs were longer than Marcel's test patch. The spiral design at 3:50 is probably still optimised, but for the estimates on larger parks, we could probably raise the estimate slightly.
