Don't build toilets. If you do, guests stay longer and you lose out on profit, you need to circulate a flow of customers in order to make a profit.

Quote from the man playing video games

Entrance fee admission, rides free.

Whenever I go to an amusement park unless I pay extra for fast lane tickets it always takes like 20-30 mins to get on a ride, an hour if it's busy, meaning the more popular your park gets the less rides people go on and the less money you make.

Paying per ride is like paying per sushi plate.

It drives me fucking nuts.

>>382821682
this is the worst way to play. a lot of guests don't bring enough money or simply never want to buy anything

>>382824981

Because the old ones had more the sharp nostalgic feel and wonder that kids got when they got it or opened it from a box of Cereal.

The RCT3 is great in my opinion when I was young and managed to build a Roller Coaster dedicated to my favorite Youtube channel in 2006. (A roller coaster inside a giant Microwave) but I also argue RCT3 is so much more easier because of those pools. I kinda wish I didn't lose the discs, But I am not into rebuying RCT3 again

>>382824981

Because you can kill more people in the original games

>>382824951

This is the worst thing, when you start to play the system instead of playing the game.

>$50 entrance fee
>big rides with long lines cost $1-$3
>small rides cost $0.50
If lines get too long, raise the price. If lines are too short, lower the price. Keep an eye on each ride's profitability. If rides aren't making a profit, lower the price of entrance unless they actually have a line formed, in that case raise them.

This is literally my strategy for every single park and it never fails. Game is too easy tbqh. I wish the interest rates were higher. Fucking $12 interest per month on a $15,000 dollar loan? Are you fucking kidding me? And then when I have $30,000 near the end with no space left to build I should be able to loan it out or invest in the stock market or something.

>>382828280
I love RCT1/2 but once you get into min-maxing and building multiples of the same rides to be efficient it gets dull to me—that never happened when I was younger though.

Are there "perfect walkthroughs" for the scenarios? I want to play this game but I also don't want to think.

>>382828280
Strategy is boring, especially since it's so easy the system. The patrician way to play RCT tycoon is to build a park that's profitable and also looks good.

Planet coaster isnt an actual game like roller coaster tycoon its a simulation. The fun is in customizing rides and themes.
Never played rct3 though, i tihnk it is the bad one

>>382824981
1. RCT 1 and 2 will run on fucking anything made since 1992. This is less relevant nowadays since toasters can also run RCT 3, but it is a factor in how RCT 1/2 built such a broad fanbase over the years.
2. RCT 1 and 2 simply have more content than RCT 3. Even without taking the massive amount of fan maps into account, there's simply a lot more official attractions and maps for the first two games plus expansions.
3. The sprite-based graphics arguably give RCT 1 and 2 a more consistent and themeatically pleasing visual style.
4. You can kill people in the first two games. This is a bigger factor than you might realize.

There are other arguments, but I think those are the four big reasons why the first two games are so enduring.

Make a ride that has an exit that leads into a walled off atea so anyone that rides cant leave. Then after a while they will start puking and shitting everywhere. Once this happens place a bayhroom in the centre and charge 5 dollars per person. After half an hour money will no longer be a problem

The whole trilogy is only $11 on steam right now.

If you get it, all of them are worth playing. However, get OpenRCT2, it adds much more content to RCT2 and online multiplayer. Some people will say RCT3 is shit, but personally it's my favorite. Whichever game is the best depends on the person.

There's also Planet Coaster which is basically a updated RCT3 with lots of more ways to customize your park, and steam workshop support. DO NOT GET RCT WORLD, IT FUCKING SUCKS. All of the people who worked on the old RCT games went to work on Planet Coaster.

>>382854617
Rct3 and Planet Coaster are more for hyper autistic levels of detail, but with mediocre simulation mechanics.
RCT1/2 Da best business simulation management with decent levels of customization and a lot of old school charm.

Park entrance is free. New rides cost five bucks a ride. They will fucking pay this price. Yes, they will pay five bucks to slide their ass down Slide 1 just once. Eventually, the ride will age, and you'll have to lower it to $3, then later $1/$0.50, but by then the ride will have made around 1,000 to 1,500 dollars. A swinging ship at $5 could last about a year before needing to drop the price to $3, then it'll stay steady until Year 3 ends, making like $10,000 in it's lifetime up to that point.
Rollercoasters cost proportionate to their excitement value. It has 7.5 excitement? Charge $7.50.
As far as I'm aware, these pricing strats only work in RCT1. Guests are more stingy and less retarded in 2, I think.

RCT1, you can choose between park entry free, ride entry fee, or a combination of both.
Only in RCT2 does it lock whether you can only charge for rides, or only charge for park entry. RCT2 fucking blows btw.

>>382824981
Because it allows you to focus on the game itself, which is simple and fun. Too many simulator and tycoon games place sensory overload onto the player and what should be fun becomes a tedious chore. Having only a few fleshed out, good qualities allows the player to feel more creative and challenged and is technically easier, making the player feel rewarded more often.

Some expansion scenarios in RCT1 do. I forget whether the first or the second did it first, but I think the latter.

>>382820943
Pay per ride, and charge 10 cents per .1 excitement. Shuttle loops can go up to 6 bucks a ride, though

You bring a good point, but they're far too much of an eyesore for me to take advantage of their compact nature. Personally I don't like building more than 1 type of coaster, among other restrictions like no prebuilts or ez money 10 second rides like variations on the Shuttle Loop.
