Help! I keep killing the guests in RCT!

I am having problems with RCT. First is I always run out of money. I can't complete my coasters, so I launch them like they are Mr. Freeze(which rocks). I launch them so fast they fly off of the track and kill people. I have much more luck with the SIMS game. There I can control people. I like to control people by making them love me.

Running out of money is normal. Take out a loan if you can, otherwise just hope that your park is good enough where it can pull a profit. In the ride menu where you select launched or continuous circut mode, there will be a launch speed selector, also. Just turn that down and test the ride until it makes it through without flying off. Then reduce the launch speed by one more setting, and try again. If it rolls back, turn it back up, if not, turn it down once again.

Just do that until it makes it through without rolling back, and if you can't get it to keep from rolling back without flying off the track, add another piece of track to make it taller.

I have no signature.

One way to get around the money problem is to download and use a trainer.There is no way to kill your peeps on a coaster by launching the train off the track because you must first test the ride before you can open it to peeps,the only coaster which could possibly be built like that would be the thrust air coaster.

The best way to maximize profits is to make the park entrance free and make launched rollercoasters cost 5 or 6 dollars a ride. Also, add an info. kiosk and make park maps 50 cents and umbrellas 5 or 6 dollars. About the launching problem, you could solve that by building a bunch of the "shuttle loop" coasters in premade designs for the steel coaster. Those don't really fly off the track if you don't mess with them. One time though, I built a shuttle loop so that an empty train would go clear to the end of the track but not fly off. It tested and went fine. When I opened it and got a full train, the train flew off the track. I hate that.

May I ask...

What is the original POINT of this thread?

I read it and it makes absolutely no sense... I mean, it's a statement... but where's the question or point to respond?

...Wondering what the 2002 season holds for all parks...

A good thing to do on the LIM shuttleloops is build the track as tall as you can and only launch it at about 81 mph.

I think this person has some other problems we do not know about

Ditto! I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry.

Someone who likes to control people may have problems that we don't want to know about. A psychological evaluation maybe needed in this case. Anyone with even the simplist mind can operate RTC with out murdering people! That's not something to get off on.

Does she mean she's killing people on only shuttle loops, or on LIM launched corkscrews and launched lifts? Because it's not possible for a train to fly off the tracks on the other two...

Listen, if you don't know how to build a coaster correctly or even just survive in the game, then you need to read the manual, because basically you're asking how to play RCT in general.

Some a ya'll are so mean. (Although that controlling thing is kinda hokey) But still be kind to the poor lass.

What?!
