rct 2 block brakes

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:28:13 GMT

How do all of you use them? I know how blocks work in reality, but does anyone have problems with them in the game? Also, can a lift hill count as 2 blocks in the game (I've seen it done in real life)?

Wizarding World of Harry Potter RCT competition

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:46:39 GMT

Along with CBuzz, another site I read every day is Mugglenet.com. They recently ran a "Wizarding World of RollerCoaster Tycoon" contest, where users could construct a Harry Potter-themed amusement park using RCT.

Some nice results here - I might have to download them and try them out.

Is the series dead, or is there hope for a new game?

RCT2 Question

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:35:10 GMT

Ok so I was playing the other day and I wanted to know if you advertise for a roller coaster while your building it, would that be a beneficial thing or not? Im not sure if rct2 is that advanced, because I usually advertise for the roller coaster after I have built it. Anyone have any insight?

Ride Recreations!

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 17:26:18 GMT

i've been doing some really well done ride recreations recently and i've so far finished three.

Batman: The Ride
Batman: The Escape
and Mr. Freeze: Coolest Coaster on the Planet

you can find them in the track exchange or you can watch the videos here

Batman: The Ride - based on the one from Six Flags Over Texas
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEpE8kK1XmQ&mode=user&search=

Batman: The Escape - was at Six Flags Astroworld

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNTyjAt4jqE&mode=user&search=

Mr. Freeze: Coolest Coaster on the Planet - based on the one from Six Flags Over Texas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Pd0xDtsfo4&mode=user&search=

Enjoy!

let me know what you guys think

the next three are already in the works.
Batwing - Six Flags America
Superman Krypton Coaster - Six Flags Fiesta Texas (my #1 favorite coaster)
and
Superman Ultimate Flight - Six Flags Great America

i'm doing only the ones i've ridden as i feel i can do some justice to them as i go for more of the feel of actually riding it while also keeping to its true look and nature. custom supports are sometimes changed so that the ride experienced with really bad 'head choppin' effect.

after these three i have a list of others. if you want to know what rides i've done and would like to see me do them check out my ridelist here

http://www.coasterfanatics.com/sec_members/member_ridelist.asp?id=104684

just one thing do not ask me to do Disney... i probably cannot even come close to matching the theming.

Enjoy!

RCT2 HELP! Peeps cannot enter my park.

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 20:54:42 GMT

I'm trying to build a KILLER Hersheypark scenario on RCT2. I created it myself in the Scenario Editor. I built a path from the edge of the screen directly to the entrance of the park (I've built plenty of scenarios before). However, no one can enter my park! No one is on the screen at all...except, on one edge of the screen, where there's no path, I can see a flickering glitch of peeps who are probably trying to get to my park. Has anyone experienced this? I spend hours preparing this scenario, and now I can't even play it, or even earn money to build the park. As far as I know, there's no way to re-edit a scenario once you've saved it, but am I wrong? Also, I assume there's no way to edit paths or scenery beyond the park property if I haven't zoned it as for-sale.

What's going on here???

Thrillville: Off the Rails - Help! Need to increase park value.

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 17:39:59 GMT

I'm trying to complete "Tomorrow's Tycoon" in Thrillville Explorer. It says to buld more rides to increase the park value. I have 2 pre-built roller coasters in each section, along with every possible carnival ride (I had to sacrifice most games to do this). I still can't get my park value over 15,000. Any ideas how I can do this?

Ravine Flyer II

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:21:33 GMT

Me and Chooch249 went to waldameer yesterday and as soon as I got back I made a "Roller coaster Tycoon version" of the Ravine Flyer II. I'll make a video of it and post it on here later.

How do you add parks?

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 19:43:47 GMT

I have just downloaded the cederpoint from your site but I cant find where to upload it in the game. I also have Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. Can someone help me please.

Track file limit?

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 04:33:32 GMT

Just curious...I keep trying to download custom tracks from the atari site (RCT3) and can't open most of them. It looks like there's a limit(small limit) on the amount of track files you can have per track type. Is this the case or am I not doing something right? *** Edited 3/11/2008 4:34:37 AM UTC by scraperguy99***

RCT 2 Magic Mountain Question

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:32:29 GMT

Could you please give me any hints for the Real Parks or Build your own Park for Magic Mountain? Right now, I built my own park, and it's troublesome. The struggle is that it's really hard to me compared to the other parks.

They want me to have a value of 700,000, and they want me to repay the large loan. I'm already on year 9, and it isn't looking too good.

Thrillville: Off the Rails

Wed, 09 Jan 2008 06:28:45 GMT

Just thought I would post for those who haven't heard where this doomed game series is headed.

http://wii.ign.com/articles/801/801340p1.html

At least they have given up on trying to make things realistic (since they were bad at it anyway).

"The coasters players build in Thrillville aren't bound to the laws of physics (or potential lawsuits) real-world rides are."

Yikes! So much for re-living the real thing!

Saved Game Error

Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:36:06 GMT

Hello,

I'm having some issues, sometimes my laptop will freeze up and I have to reboot. Then I can't load the game I was playing. Says "File Contains Invalid Data." Any help? This has happened to several scenarios.

BTW: I'm playing RCT2.

RCT 2... Better than RCT 3? New rides, coaster styles, etc for RCT2?

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 05:00:44 GMT

I know it's been discued here before, but is it just me or does RCT 3 really suck as fare as "Gameplay" goes? Yes it's cool as fare as riding your own coaster, having realistic looking flat rides, etc... but couldn't all of this be done in RCT2? without switching to the new 3d engine?

I have a $1,500 computer and I can barely build a theme park in RCT3 before it starts moving to slow to even stand it. RCT2 I could build a HUGE theme park with hundreds of rides and thousands of peeps and it still had upwards of 40-50fps.

I would really love to see RCT2 gameplay engine with some new, more realistic looking flat rides and coaster designs in RCT3.

I know there are a few custom rides sitting around of RCT2, but does anyone know if realistic looking, custom made rides like "Giant Swing" "Giant Ferris wheel" ect has ever been made for RCT2?

If not, how hard is it to design a ride of RCt2? I know how to do the design stuff, im just not sure about programming and that type of stuff.

Thanks guys and gals!
