  • The Universe Coaster is the longest roller coaster ever built in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, and it blows all previous versions out of the water.

I lost it right there I tell you. Well, I guess they have nowhere else to go after it.

I figured we had terms past billions and trillions, but having never seen numbers bigger than that (that I can recall anyway), I never thought of how you'd even read them. It was also SUPER helpful that you gave us a point of comparison so we could really understand how big that number is. Never thought you'd help me enjoy math, thanks for the great content!

    It may not be the first time that the maximum ride length has been improved, but it's *by far* the most significant improvement, for that reason.
    So the final version of the coaster works in both vanilla RCT2 and RCT Classic, even though in JJ's screenshot he mentions it exceeds some RCT2 limit? That's a nice touch. Maybe someday OpenRCT2 will include some compatibility options that let you follow the vanilla rules for synchronization, too... that would be a nice feature to have.

      JJ's version was built in Classic, which has different limits. All that's different is that his baseline long coaster is a bit longer though, so it has not much impact on the total ride time. Actually my baseline coaster takes longer as the super slow backwards method wasn't discovered yet when JJ made his first version.

    If this record progresses any further, I imagine it will start to look similarly to the development mathematicians had coming up with new largest cardinal numbers, where they eventually became so large they were only expressed via abstract proofs showing it was larger than previous numbers rather than a number a lay person can actually read as being a number.
    Something like TREE(3) is unfathomably large, but it’s larger than other unfathomably large numbers like Graham’s Number in a way I myself can’t even begin to comprehend.
    Perhaps in the future we’ll have Coasters whose completion time cannot even be easily compared to the previous record holder by just showing them side by side, but can only be abstractly proven to somehow be longer.

      That bit with the blue wild mouse coasters at the end is when I first came up with the idea of exponential synchronization. It worked in OpenRCT2, but not in vanilla, so I didn't use it, and it took a while before a method to do it in vanilla was found.

  • @TheOobo
    @TheOobo ปีที่แล้ว +42

    An update to my favourite "series" of sorts! I'm unsurprised that the number got so absurdly large as soon as that synchronization method was figured out, once you move from multiplicative growth to exponential growth things can get massive quickly.
    It's entirely possible there's still room for improvement, like a way to abuse game mechanics that allows us to use powers of three rather than two, but for our mere mortal minds this is the limit. We've reached an incomprehensible scale, any improvements may be much larger but equally incomprehensible.
    As a side note, I'm amazed I never knew that one-tile-offset stations can still synchronize. That opens up a ton of possibilities.

    This challenge has become somewhat similar to inventing a very large number in mathematics. The numbers got so big that the scientific notation like 10^10^10^120 does not work anymore, so the magnitude of the numbers cannot be compared directly (like comparing digits), but rather theoretically using their definitions and advanced math. Already from the Century Coaster, we simply cannot measure and compare the actual ride times of different "long" coasters since that would take 100+ years and the computer will go broke. We can only estimate what the 'theoretical ride time' might be by some mathematical inference.
