Lateral gs seem to contribute the most to high intensity ratings so it’s no surprise the gs were too high on a ride where you can’t bank the turns.

I had to extend the layout of each in order to burn off some speed in order to lower the intensity to around 9. My first attempt was no good: both coasters had an ultra-extreme intensity rating over 12. Originally, I was just going to make one, drawn out ride but I decided to challenge myself and try to squeeze two coasters into the location intended for one. The most challenging coasters to build were the dueling Virginia reel spinning coasters. It’s the most realistic coaster here as well, resembling any number of real world out-and-back hyper coasters. Of course, the green hyper coaster destroys the capacity of all the other coasters, running at 3,276 guests per hour thanks to three, thirty-six passenger trains on a five block track. The higher the capacity the more money you can make. So I divided up the lift hill into two separate chain portions to add an extra block to the circuit and try to make the first block shorter to increase the guest through put. However, I noticed the lift was the longest block section on the ride. I originally had a long, straight lift hill on the pink Wild Mouse coaster. Its had a full queue since day one due to the low capacity: only 360 guests an hour. The green Pony Tales steeplechase coaster is the only pre-made roller coaster I added. Build rides with on-ride photos and charge $3 for those too. The key is to build high capacity roller coasters where I charge $6-7 per ride.

Parks with pay-per-ride allow you to make money hand over fist. I love trying to squeeze as many attractions into the smallest space possible. My favorite scenarios in RollerCoaster Tycoon are the ones with some sort of limitation, like space. Age: 8 years of gameplay (don’t know how much real time, but probably too much!).Here’s a tour of my completed Bumbly Beach Park and I’ll share a few of my RCT tips along the way. But this time I felt like continuing and building out the park until it was a full amusement park. When I used to play, I would typically complete a scenario as quickly as possible and move on to the next. Since all the real theme parks are still closed, I’ve found myself returning to a comforting world of fictional theme parks: RollerCoaster Tycoon.
