Youtube sent me an award for building the Longest Rollercoaster ever in RCT2

[@MarcelVos]

Leave it to me to make a video about something 5 years after it happened. I never made one at the time and I thought it'd be nice to tell you about it now anyway.

[@theplasmawolf]

Did you sit in a coaster that took 5 years to complete? That would make sense.

[@probably3dprintingsomething]

the video was incoming at 1kph.

[@yorusign]

You should've waited another 130 years to celebrate and commemorate the coaster making one full loop in real time ;)

[@jamatri9326]

"3 quinvigintillion years, which is slightly longer" Never change, Marcel.

[@EmberTheShark]

Its like the guinness blurb. Technically correct, the best kind of correct

[@jackeea_]

Which is also over 3000 in-game years

[@DanielLCarrier]

Or at least, stay the same for slightly longer.

[@xander1052]

[@leoliu2837]

Slightly longer...than the universe itself

[@FlippityStik]

MarcelVos: "it's weird to say over 3,000 when it's also over 5,000". Also MarcelVos: "3 quinvigintillion years is slightly longer than 135 years"

[@vomm]

In both cases - 3 quinvigintillion or 135 years - you're already dead and as soon as you are time has no relevance anymore

[@Incidion]

@@vomm I mean yeah, it's the difference between "human lifespan" dead and "literal heat death of the universe" dead, but dead is dead.

[@EllipticGeometry]

By Kolmogorov complexity which seems to underlie this kind of growth, it really isn’t such a huge difference.

[@ThatHomestar]

0:25 HOLY SHIT I WROTE THAT, THAT'S ON MY TUMBLR BLOG. i can't believe the reach that post has gotten. i knew a couple sites had basically reposted my post as a news story, but guinness?! this is news to me.

[@MarcelVos]

That blog post could be credited with starting my KZbin career even. I created my first longest coaster 1.5 years before I started KZbin, but that was my first big project that I got a lot of attention for in the community. And the longest coaster videos are of course some of my most viewed videos ever.

[@MaxGutt98]

The Homestar PP really backs this up

[@ChaosPootato]

Hey cheers for inspiring Marcel

[@penguinsushi8442]

Blog posts can go surprisingly viral and can become more ingrained as a source than many big sites. Although Google Search's decay since 2019 has put a stop to that for the most part.

[@Antiphar]

@@MaxGutt98 Homestar seems like the kind of guy who would sit on a roller coaster for 135 years

[@noggintv2639]

To be fair, if I worked at KZbin, this is exactly the kind of channel I'd watch in my free time to remind me why my job is worthwhile

[@Brunosky_Inc]

Man, that has to be a record for the most suspicious DMs and email address that ended up actually being legit!

[@MrFormaldehyde]

This is the "best park in the world" award that you get when your park reaches 1000 rating.

[@Sam-cv6un]

Whoever did this in the vast corporate machine of KZbin, respect, that's really cool

[@jmc042]

Exactly my thought. This feels like 2008 Google. God, I wish we could go back.

[@flazzorb]

100% this was KZbin doing a corporate dig at Guinness.

[@mootbooxle]

Guinness sucks!

[@WackoMcGoose]

I still think it's fundamentally hilarious that _a beer company_ is tracking world records, the same way that a tire company rates restaurants, a baby food company is doing auto glass, and a model-rocket-engine company diversified into long haul trucking...

[@mark97199]

​@@WackoMcGoose Do you mean Gerber and Estes? Because those are just different companies with the same name.

[@straightpipediesel]

@@WackoMcGoose What did happen is a company that made beer turned into making ceramic pots which expanded into technical ceramics like piezoelectric elements (Coors/CoorsTek) and a company that made glass jars and then aluminum cans decided to make spacecraft (Ball). WWII made a bunch of changes: musical instruments turned into aircraft parts then motorcycles (Yamaha), typewriters became guns (IBM, Smith Corona). The Germans lost and airplane companies too made motorcycles before finally being taken over by the French (Messerschmitt).

[@nachoisone]

I think the KZbin creators are just fans of RCT and like us have a healthy relationship with the game and appreciate the builds and parks created. That’s such an awesome reward! Thanks for sharing!

[@HUARASTACA]

It's like dad lore, he told us something that happened times ago but he just didn't felt like telling us

[@Panzermeister36]

Good thing KZbin commissioned that award from xxartists and not xxxartists.

[@bunnyonabunwithagunnicepun5689]

This is especially insane, considering how little KZbin seems to care about even their biggest creators nowadays! Congratulations, you’ve more than earned it.

[@SheepUndefined]

Oh my god, this is so wild lol. I was honestly expecting this to be a clever way of saying you got a plaque, but no. Also, KZbin being more legitimate than The Guinness World Book, lmao

[@CompleteAnimation]

I haven't played Rollercoaster Tycoon for almost two decades at this point. But I still watch every one of your videos!

[@DemonicAkumi]

Never played a Rollercoaster Tycoon game, never had an interested to play one. Found your video one day a while back and found all the test, trivia, challenges, etc interesting and I continued to watch and after a few videos I've subbed and been watching all your new and older videos I've missed. When you can get a non-tycoon player to be interested in videos of said game(s), I say you're doing something right. Keep it up.

[@Ocarina654]

Excellent. The only thing more funny than the random and somewhat baffling process to get this random award from a random person at youtube is that it took you 5 years to decide to document it on here. Love it.

[@PeterCaldwell-y4e]

I played this game a lot as a kid. A couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon your channel and decided to pick it up again for the nostalgia. I gotta say that this is the only game from my childhood that's even better than I remember it. So, thank you for that.

[@cleanycloth]

“It’s a bit out of date now I’ve built a coaster that lasts 3 quinvigintillion years” Not too far off then ;)

[@StefanVeenstra]

Still think your calculator is the GOAT of your projects. Still can't wrap my head around how you figured that one out.

[@HHHjb_]

3:51 "slightly" longer yea

[@RawmanFilm]

Ty, expected this comment :D

[@1VIA1Alido]

It's over 3000 years!

[@Polyrux]

​It's interesting that you bring up xxartists at 2:30. I'm not sure how they're affiliated with KZbin or how the marketing agency was involved with them, but it seems that they are either not officially partnered with youtube or no longer are you'd figure a collaboration with one of the biggest companies in the world would be plastered everywhere. (Extra curious as they don't mention youtube in an official capacity ANYWHERE on their socials other than a Webby nomination). Its very cool that they made the trophy for you, but it IS wierd. Especially considering the fact it came from the official KZbin creators twitter. I'd be curious if anyone else has any other experiences with them or what that process was like.

[@Baddaby]

Maybe it was part of the contract, to not flaunt it everywhere

[@zeroyuki92]

My personal guess is that it was not actually an actual KZbin's official policy/program, that was just KZbin employee personally impressed awarded it to him using KZbin social media account to jump start the conversation.

[@straightpipediesel]

Go try to find how many Apple suppliers show that off on their website.

[@MarcelVos]

@@zeroyuki92 Jumpstart what conversation? What you saw in the video is all that was ever said.

[@natewoods4566]

3 quinvigintillion years, aka "over 4000 years" according to Guinness.

[@Lethargyman]

Belated 5-year congratulations! Having now rewatched your Universe Coaster video, you mentioned that different mechanics in OpenRCT2 can make coasters even longer - I’d love to see a video which discusses these differences

[@Ghost10221987]

Discovering your channel has reinvigorated my love for RCT and also gave me a new channel to watch that wife rolls her eyes at everytime she sees me watching it, so thank you twice!

[@strange_mood]

Marcel, your channel is an inspiration to me. I admire that you manage to turn your passion for a very particular topic into something much greater than it seems to be able to be. It probably helps that you are a great storyteller ;-) Keep doing what you are doing, I will always watch and enjoy the heck out of every video!

[@thethunderbird4844]

[@phantasydragon696]

I found your channel when video game news channels made a small post about your century coaster. Been a fan since, haven't played the game in decades now but still fun watching.

[@SoopaPop]

In 2023 you made a coast that takes over 136 years!? Amazing! It also takes over 137, and 138, and 139...

[@jaggedbrace1263]

You deserve it and more! Thanks for making great guides to some of our most beloved games!

[@holotori_senior_admin_teno]

They wanted to stop you from building the Universe Coaster. Now they are trapped on it, all because you wouldn't settle for 135 years.

It hasn't been, I took that screenshot of it yesterday. Also I'm not sure if I want to be featured as especially in videogames they suck.

[@andypmz07]

​@MarcelVos I get that, I suppose the proof is in the pudding since they didn't correctly detail or vet, the record for longest ride. I'm not clued up on record keeping of video game achievements, but you definitely deserve some recognition.

[@nonna_sof5889]

You have to pay them to update it. You can also make up a totally new award and pay the fee to get included. The entire thing is basically a scam.

[@Polyrux]

@@MarcelVos Yes, Guiness World Records is a deeply flawed business if you look into it. Better to stay away from it. It seems now, it's all about greasing the correct palms for the record. There's lots of issues and enourmous fee's to have a record legitimized.
