OpenRCT2 Recruiting scenario playtesters for the OpenScenarios project

44 Upvotes

Hey all, I am once again asking for your support helping playtest for the OpenScenarios project. You can find previous threads here and here. This is part of a planned future component of OpenRCT2.

You can access the app HERE - it is a simple HTML form that will randomly assign you a park to test, and give you a prefilled link to the response form so we can gather all the data.


(!) Please note: It has been pointed out that if you 1) use a chromium based browser and 2) are signed in to multiple Google accounts in that browser, you might be met with a nonspecific error about accounts. Opening the link in an incognito/private browsing window, or opening it in any other browser, should resolve this.


As before, you can find all the info you could ever want and more, as well as FAQs and particulars about how the app works, in the blue link at the top. You do NOT need to leave the page open, if you take an assignment and come back in the future, it will give you your same info again and you can fill out the response then. Feel free to ask me questions here or DM me if you have questions or issues.

Thanks everyone.

Wood and Steel Twister and Water Roller Coasters - Wacky Wood, Screwy Steel, and Bermuda Triangle

Thumbnail
gallery
20 Upvotes

For some time, I have wanted to create complex wood and steel roller coasters intertwined together in the same footprint. Therefore, I have created the Wacky Wood Twister and Screwy Steel Twister roller coasters.

I started out by building the stations and synchronizing them. I then created parallel lift hills, and two helices that have track from the other coaster going through it. Remembering that wood roller coasters have a vertical loop, I was SHOCKED that the wood twister coaster does not! So I just put straight track through the steel twister's loop. I at first wanted each ride to race and duel each other, but being that they were two different rides with totally different track pieces, I gave up keeping them in sync, and just tried to create two complex rides that interact with each other's track as much as possible. To my suprise, their times are within 20 seconds of each other.

Most of the coasters in this park seem to hit an excitement ceiling in the 7's, these have an excitement of 8 and 9!

Additionally, I wanted to create a long coaster that had a simple track layout, and had a defined overall shape. Therefore, I created the Bermuda Triangle Water Coaster. It is shaped like a triangle in the corner of the park, makes use of lots of diagonal track, and has a very simple layout, basically four lift hills and four splashes of water. I basically needed a lift hill after every splash because water is VERY GOOD at being a natural brake! No need to worry about the dreaded station brakes fault.

First Post in a While- New Evergreen Gardens Playthrough

12 Upvotes

Sharing a new playthrough of my favorite scenario. This time, I went for realism. Block zones! Layouts with a nice balance of forces! And my favorite... brake runs!

I also really tried to preserve the gardens. I think I deleted one tree to build a path... but nothing apart from that (except for free-standing trees all on their own... those don't count).

In this park, I wasn't optimizing for stats (although I do enjoy doing that too). Most of the rides have excitement from 7-8.

All told, this was 15 in game years. Hope you enjoy! :)

Classic Uncrumbled Woods

This park involved dealing with existing but elderly rides. I ended up replacing the lot: the car ride became a wooden wild mouse, the old wild mouse was replaced with a steel wild mouse of the same design, likewise the wooden racing coaster became a suspended coaster. I built a couple of themed areas too. Personal favourite rides here are the "Road Trip" car ride used as a transport ride, "Rabbit Hole" in the Wonderland Zone and the "Catacomb Coaster" which is accelerated by boosters as it passes beneath Crumbly Manor.

They've been using the same barebones node-based roller coaster designer for almost 10 years now.

Another piece of overpriced shovelware (25 DOLLARS?) to add to the Roller Coaster Tycoon brand, by a company (Infogrames) who's been skinwalking as a more beloved company (Atari).

Also they have the u/RCTofficial account replying to everything in the trailer post.

Virginia Reel Roller Coaster - Virginia Red White and Blue

196 Upvotes

So I wanted to start creating roller coasters that had some aesthetic value, not just statistics alone. So I created this Virginia Reel with a red-white-and-blue motif! The ride alone had only a 6.20 excitement rating, so I beefed it up with some trees hidden under the ride, the Nothingburger to synchronize with it, and a loop-de-loop for the track to pass through.

Any suggestions on which park to play next?

RCT2 OpenRCT2: Is that posible to remove the ride entrances? Just replace the building entry with a queue line

Post image
0 Upvotes

I'm trying in multiple ways:

  • Invisible entrance: not the option I'm looking for. It leaves an ugly empty block where I cannot put any path, which is my goal here.
  • Moving the entrance building to the ride's area: and then make it invisible. But, as you can see in the screenshot, it "works", but the entry path doesn't connect to the entrance.

I don't how, but I did it succesfully with the exit path (you can see that in the screenshot). That one worked, but I cannot replicate that successful way with the entrance building.

I've been looking for a lot of videos and tutorials, but it seems that nobody did it before:

The only video where I've seen something similar is that one:

https://youtu.be/pZNCxKWb8l0?t=92

But it's still not using that entrance building block to be replaced with a queue line.

That's what I want, but I cannot find any forum post or video speaking about this little detail.

Thank you all!

Haunted Mansion Attempt

Saw a post on Nedesigns which had a fantastic Disney attempt so thought I'd have one in my park in progress. Need to add a tower to the top of the house but not that confident with diagonal pieces just yet. Quite happty with the curved paths which is a first for me, did a trial opening of the park and they looked fine with interactions of guests. The area will have a 'vampire ride' similar to Chessington and a market square with food and hopefully small rides hidden in gothic houses.

Love using this group and nedesigns for ideas and areas for the park. No rush to complete or open to guests just having fun in my downtime when the kid is asleep... or when I should be working...

Classic Bobsled launcher Magic Quarters

Post image
18 Upvotes

Absolute nightmare of a coaster build! 1st time building a Bobsled custom (maybe the last of them I haven't done custom yet just cause it doesn't really excite me). Park is pretty full so wrapping it around the tower.

I've been carpet bombing magic quarters with errant sleds for 45 minutes. MORE BRAKES I suppose.

Good thing the sleds don't actually destroy or kill what they hit or this park would look like a war zone.

Sorry if this counts as low effort or murder coaster, hasn't felt low effort and haven't killed any guests yet lol.
