Post making contest 5.0

This is scenario #2.



Dynamite Dunes: 650 guests by the end of the third year is hardly a challenge, but then this is only the second scenario. Having said that, I've often thought it harsher than Leafy Lake or Evergreen Gardens (#3 and #5 respectively) - you're given the rollercoaster on the far right to start with, along with the awkward not-quite-L-shaped path that circumnavigates the dune at the bottom, and that's not a great layout to build from! Either you close the L-shape into a loop with a tunnel like I did or you try and build back around it, which is even less nice. On top of this, your starting selection of attractions is not amazing and the research is surprisingly stingy on rollercoasters. Here's where one difference between the original game and these recreations comes in - the original had transport rides classed as gentle and water rides as thrill for the purposes of research, whereas both RCT2 and consequently OpenRCT2 separate them all out. This makes things slightly easier since you don't have to waste your time with chairlifts and log flumes that you're just not going to build in the early scenarios...

(also for some reason the Mini Coaster was researched during the course of this playthrough when that coaster type was not in the original game - this is probably an attempt at recompensing for the Junior Coaster's lack of pieces in RCT2 but it was bloody annoying when I knew full well there should have been the Corkscrew Rollercoaster at that stage of the tree)

(yes I know the research trees for the first five scenarios pretty much off by heart shut up)

One other difference between original and remakes - the amount guests are willing to pay for rides decays noticeably faster in RCT2, a fact I have yet to get used to. Still managed to pay off the loan, though... just had some slight trouble funding Sandstorm (the coaster at the bottom) around the end of year two, that's all...

End of message.

Passes rule 2 I guess

how to win at rct2: 1. make a launched corkscrew coaster that's half a corkscrew on both sides of the station (on back so it doesn't crash on stations brakes failure), launch speed at minimum.
2. save track design
3. repeat construction

Passes no rules.
