Since I'm getting a lot of comments about ideas for longer rides that have the coaster going in reverse somewhere, I'll make a pinned comment explaining why that doesn't work. If a train goes forward, it has a minimum speed of 1 km/h. A train going backward doesn't have a minimum speed. It will keep slowing down until it reaches standstill and then the speed will underflow to the lowest possible forward. This happens quite quickly so you sadly cannot use this. Here is a video showing it in action: th-cam.com/video/ScrciQvMM_4/w-d-xo.html
Marcel, have you tried this in RCT Classic? I've done this with a 3km long looping coaster and not only did the train return to station (the speed didn't underflow), also its reverse travel was at a much slower speed. I haven't been able to accurately measure how much slower it went backwards compared to forward though, but it went at least several times slower. EDIT: Let me be a bit more specific. It's RCT Classic for Android. And the downside is that the max number of circuits appears to be 7. Still: I think you should be able to make a longer ride with this.
@@DRoo95 So it turns out I wrong all along about reversing rides. I just tested it and in both classic and RCT2 vanilla it goes 0 km/h but doesn't underflow. It underflowed in OpenRCT2 and I automatically assumed it would do so in vanilla as well.
@@MarcelVos So it's actually just an OpenRCT2 bug. Btw I've taken the time to do some measurements, and it appears reversing goes about 7-8 times slower (on RCT classic, I think this example shows we can't assume the game mechanics are exactly the same on different versions)
We need to organize where and what equipment. A custom PC with as reliable parts as we can get would be ideal. We also need to set up an FFmpeg server to restream to multiple platforms. This way, even if one platform goes under it can continue running. The computer in question needs to have backup power, and we need to emulate the system running the game and backup the machine state in set intervals to a remote server in case of worst case scenario. The machine should be kept in a controlled environment, maybe a repurposed fish tank with air filtration and temperature controls. This will prevent dust from collecting.

Based upon your in-game calculations, this epic quest would take over 122,466 RCT2 years. My God, they won't even be _human_ by the time they get back to the station. For frame of reference to compare the experience of these peeps with our own, the Sahara was still a lush wetland 120,000 years ago. Modern man's earliest forebears hadn't even reached the continent of _Europe_ yet. 120,000 years into the future, Earth Years will have increased by as many as two or more SI seconds due to the deceleration of Earth's axial rotation, and the Sahara is likely to be converted back to tropical due to the natural alteration in Earth's rotational axis, which would happen some 90,000 years before these poor fellows take one foot off the ride. This devilry you've constructed makes Mr. Bones' Wilde Ride look like a set of swings on a playground. Bless you, Marcel Vos, you absolute madman, and have a Merry Christmas.
Man, imagine that. America would be an ice-sheet with a bunch of slums on it, and the Sahara will be where the Starfleet Academy is built. Those American warlords keep stealing all our foreign aid!
That actually caused some slight issues lol. I wanted to avoid confusion so I carefully wrote the script to never call it a mini coaster apart from the very first time I mention the coaster.
Imagine you're in your early twenties. You're still living with your parents, in your childhood home. You decide to build a coaster in RCT2. You see how long of a coaster you can make, but it would clearly be too much to actually test it, and you're not skilled enough in math to calculate it. As a joke, you start the coaster. It's funny to you. You have it running in the background for the next few months. However, eventually, you move out of the house. Opportunities arise, and you get the chance to work as an engineer - a field you always had a certain connection with. You're more socially active than ever before, you have your own house, and there's even a cute girl who works in your office. It's the best you've ever felt in your life. Over a decade passes. You're making $190K a year off of your engineering career. You're now married to the girl of your dreams, and the future mother of your children. You can't believe you started off as the poor kid working as a janitor to a pizza joint in southern Arizona. As you're overlooking the balcony view of your beach house as the sun rises over the sea, your wife calls to you that she's made breakfast. A tear falls down your cheek. You've done it. You've succeeded. You get a letter in the mail. It's from your mother. Your mother, after all, was the one who always understood you. She was the one who believed in you. Dad was almost never around, and you don't even have many memories of him before.... The letter, in fact, was an invitation to revisit your childhood home. You get giddy, and your hands start to shake with excitement. You can't wait to go back and see everything that's changed, and everything that hasn't. You wonder if your mom kept your old gameboy, your childhood bedroom, maybe even your old desktop computer. It's a long drive, but it doesn't feel long. Your mother greets you from the door, and memories instantly flash back to you. You can almost sense the feeling of cookies baking in the kitchen and the sight of your old childhood golden lab, Beckett. You step inside the home where you grew up, the place that made you who you are. You and your mother talk for hours on end about what's happened since the last time you spoke face-to-face. On the one hand, it felt like no time at all had passed since you were eating mac and cheese at your computer desk because you wanted to keep playing games. On the other, it felt as if you'd changed so much over the years that you were barely even the same person. But now it felt as if you were not only physically, but mentally returning to the place you'd been when you decided to take that risk that brought you to where you are today. You're overjoyed throughout the visit. Looking into your childhood bedroom, you're filled with nostalgia. Everything's so familiar, even the stuff you had almost forgotten. The stuffed teddy bear that you hadn't touched since you were 12. The old shelves with comic books you read so many nights when you were trying to fall asleep. Heh, even the computer that you'd use when you'd given up on trying to fall asleep. It was all there. You're curious. You hear a light whirring sound in your old room. You wonder if your old PC is still on. Your mother was never good with technology, so it'd make perfect sense for her to not know how to turn it off. You go over to it and wiggle the dusty mouse a little. Yep, it was indeed still on. The sounds of the fans increase, and when the computer monitor turns on, you see something you can't believe. Once again, your achievements are visible in front of you, and a tear rolls down your face. "Recent thoughts: 'I want to get off 12 Years of Suffering.'"
Brav f'n O. I feel like the comment section of the entire video could end up being what the ride is to some, eternal sunshine and darkness. 12 years from now who's reading and riding and for how long?
@@ronaldsilvesters9567 Well you wont survive anyway so you might as well not take the supplies. The supplies will likely slow the cart down to a speed where your parents will already be dead before your corpse will finish the ride. They wont be able to give you a burrial.
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is from 2002, this video was posted in 2018 2018 - 2002 = 16 years A human can go fine with roughly 6 hours of sleep There are 24 hours in a day 6/24 = 25% 25% of 16 years = 4 years 16 years - 4 years = 12 years ..... Precisely the amount of time needed to test the train if you wanted to be present during the entire event and pausing it while you sleep. Nice try attempting to convince us that its not practical to test it in real time, but now we know that you actually did it - and only posted the video in 2018 after you finished the real-time testing of your creation. I've caught you red handed mate...
This is an awesome thought process. However, you missed a piece. I don't think I've ever experienced Windows stay alive for that long without a Windows Update or BSOD come forward.

Talk about a sneaky death sentence. Because how is one suppose to eat or drink while on a ride? Unless each roller coaster car had it's own star trek replicator built into it, any one on the ride would die of either starvation or dehydration. When each car finally hit the station they would be removing half or fully decayed corpses. Not one person on the planet could be able to survive the whole ride. And if one did, behold you have found the first immortal.
Buck Rodgers the ride in game time takes over 82 thousand years; won’t even be decayed corpses, the ride itself would scatter into dust before it ever finished.
@@Miners666, Well that all depends on the weather of the location. Just remember the corpses of the Pharaohs of Egypt where found intact. Yes, they where prepared before burial. But depending on the weather, that same thing can also happen naturally. Not to mention how often, and how well, the ride itself is maintained.
@@Blindside23 There isn't much of a difference. For most people in the world, you're still somewhere you don't want to be, performing activities you find monotonous and unfulfilling.
I've never actually played RCT2 so I don't know about the specifics or limits of certain things, but going just off what I learned from your video, here's a thought: why not have multiple synchronized rides that function like a counter in base 20? You know how when counting in base 10, the 10s place increments once for every 10 increments in the 1s position, the 100s place increments once for every 10 increments in the 10s position and so on. Given that the lap limit is 20, we can treat it as base 20 instead. So for every 20 laps of the first ride, a coaster on the second ride moves out of its station to the next block section. When a coaster on the second ride finishes its 20 laps, a coaster on the third ride moves out of its station to the next block station on its circuit. And so on and so forth. The time spent here would depend on optimizing the use of landscape data and finding the perfect balance between ride-length and the number of rides. Perhaps it's enough to at least warrant an experiment? All you'd need to measure would be the time taken to complete the first and second ride, the rest of the data can be calculated easily using that as a base. The very last ride in the chain may very well take exponentially longer to complete than even this monster you built here.
Yup, this is the one. You could rig the whole map with these sync trains in a chain with a bit of design thought and create a ride that would last very long.
**finally approaching finish** ------ "12 Years of Suffering has broken down" ------ "Guests are stuck on 12 Years of Suffering. Consider hiring more mechanics" **no mechanics** True hell :|
I've been able to have 12 years free from you. So I wouldn't call it suffering. Also, I'm sorry I've been gone so long. You were just a terrible 3 month old and I could tell we weren't going to get along once you grew up! So, in a way, it's totally your fault!
There was a lot of numbers and steps there.. Sorry if you stated this, does the block section (Can we call it the block chain? :-P ) coaster also do 20 laps?
A coaster with multiple trains cannot do multiple laps (would cause some issues if a train was loading guests and another train was about to speed through the station to start its next lap), so no, it only does a single circuit.
He mentioned at one point that coasters with small turn pieces like the wild mouse that's used as the block break coaster can't do multiple laps, which is why the "mini" coaster type is used for the enormous one.
God I hope you wrote a script to automate the creation of that abomination. Please tell me you didn't manually input a coaster that uses the entirety of the memory the game can handle... did you?
Can a coaster sync with more than one other coaster? If so, it seems like you could get an exponential decline (eg coaster A runs once every 20 laps of B, but B runs every 20 laps of C, etc) which would probably beat this. If they can't sync this way, then oh well, useless idea.
If so, that would be 20^31 = 21,474,836,480,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (2.1 * 10^40) laps around the big track. Doing the same math that was done at the end of the video gets us roughly 449,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (4.498 * 10^38) years real time. According to Wolfram Alpha, this is about 33,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (3.3 * 10^28) times the age of the universe.
All those zeros make my brain ache. A few other thoughts.... 1. I hope this is possible. 2. Something amazing about a species that can conceive of something that is longer than the age of the universe. .... In a $20 piece of software no less.
@@lettuce141 I haven't actually played this game, but it looks like you can go higher. I looked up that here is a maximum number of 255 rides you can build. If you have 255 tiny rides chained together so that it takes 20 laps of the previous one to do 1 lap of the next one, the final ride will require 20^255, or (5.8 * 10^331) laps of the first ride. A little over (googol^3). Even if each lap of the first ride took a second of real time, there is enough time for all matter in the observable universe to decay to subatomic particles before the final ride makes a lap. If we're lucky, we'll finish before the heat death of the universe.
This video is absolutely brilliant, I am blown away at your analytic mind and the imagination of it. Your descriptions were so fantastic and helped me understand other stuff in the real world. Bravo!
They do not need such supplies. The coaster makes it so they do not need to eat, sleep, drink, nor defecate. For it ties its victims to the seat of the car, never to be released for another 12 years. They may sleep, but *it* will not let them in order to make suffer more.
7:02 There's something poetic about this image... perhaps it's a representation of our slow, dull lives that seem to never end but we know inevitably will.
0:55 as a kid and a total fanatic of this game, I started either making my roller coasters 1 train only, or have it finish with a escalator incline section so it physically could not crash into the train in front of it, in the somewhat often event a coaster’s station brakes failed

You want to go on something more thrilling than Merry-Go-Round 1, Mister Guest? Yes, I know of such a ride, I learn of such things from a Dutchman's TH-cam video. "I'm not paying that much to go on/for 12 years of suffering"? This is fair, the ticket price is now free. This ride has other ways of making you pay. Your wife, your children on the phone--they will beg me to let you come home. They and a thousand letters shall be turned away from my doorstep. Enclosed in their envelopes shall be news bearing the death of both your parents, the marriage of your daughter, and birth of your grandchildren. And when you finally get off, Mister Guest, when the only two things you can see are the 1x1x10 tile of elevated terrain that I've blocked the park exit off with and the line to get back on the ride...you will know the price of this thrilling ride you so wanted has been paid.
@@WEEGEEV1RUS Perhaps in 12 years, TH-cam will allow that, and all files will be over a petabyte (super high quality? virtual reality? idk) so a 12-year video will easily be uploaded
Nah, just connect it to a live feed. People can sit together and watch the wacky adventures of all their favorite RCT2 souls. It'll be just like The Truman Show. : D
Here's an idea. A maze that takes up the entire landscape data and 255 guests trying to figure it out. From what I understand, they take a random turn at every possible intersection... Which means they could spend an ungodly amount of time just piddling around in circles and make 0 progress in the maze. It took 255 guests 6 in game years for at least 1 guest to solve a 15X15 maze that wasn't design to take advantage of their random turning mechanic (which I think would be a maze of endless 4x intersection loops)
This is insane! I'm wonder if anyone will ever run a full test on this! And with seeing this, I absolutely feel like to dust off RCT again and think up crazy ideas like this by myself.
Awesome! I'm always stunned by your in depth knowledge of RCT2 :D One question: why haven't you built the roller coaster on ground level? Aren't you using more tiles for foodpaths now? Ah well, it probably doesn't make a difference, you know your stuff very well
I could indeed maybe have saved 1 or 2 footpath tiles if I built the coaster on ground level. However, that is maybe about a 0.0001% difference or so and building the big coaster from the top down was easier.
Damn, this reminds me that I had once recieved a copyright infringement letter for that movie. They wanted me to pay 250€ or something. So I ditched the flat and skipped towns. Damn mafia.

Over a decade passes. You're making $190K a year off of your engineering career. You're now married to the girl of your dreams, and the future mother of your children. You can't believe you started off as the poor kid working as a janitor to a pizza joint in southern Arizona. As you're overlooking the balcony view of your beach house as the sun rises over the sea, your wife calls to you that she's made breakfast. A tear falls down your cheek. You've done it. You've succeeded.
You get a letter in the mail. It's from your mother. Your mother, after all, was the one who always understood you. She was the one who believed in you. Dad was almost never around, and you don't even have many memories of him before....
The letter, in fact, was an invitation to revisit your childhood home. You get giddy, and your hands start to shake with excitement. You can't wait to go back and see everything that's changed, and everything that hasn't. You wonder if your mom kept your old gameboy, your childhood bedroom, maybe even your old desktop computer.
It's a long drive, but it doesn't feel long. Your mother greets you from the door, and memories instantly flash back to you. You can almost sense the feeling of cookies baking in the kitchen and the sight of your old childhood golden lab, Beckett. You step inside the home where you grew up, the place that made you who you are. You and your mother talk for hours on end about what's happened since the last time you spoke face-to-face. On the one hand, it felt like no time at all had passed since you were eating mac and cheese at your computer desk because you wanted to keep playing games. On the other, it felt as if you'd changed so much over the years that you were barely even the same person. But now it felt as if you were not only physically, but mentally returning to the place you'd been when you decided to take that risk that brought you to where you are today.
You're overjoyed throughout the visit. Looking into your childhood bedroom, you're filled with nostalgia. Everything's so familiar, even the stuff you had almost forgotten. The stuffed teddy bear that you hadn't touched since you were 12. The old shelves with comic books you read so many nights when you were trying to fall asleep. Heh, even the computer that you'd use when you'd given up on trying to fall asleep. It was all there.
You're curious. You hear a light whirring sound in your old room. You wonder if your old PC is still on. Your mother was never good with technology, so it'd make perfect sense for her to not know how to turn it off. You go over to it and wiggle the dusty mouse a little. Yep, it was indeed still on. The sounds of the fans increase, and when the computer monitor turns on, you see something you can't believe. Once again, your achievements are visible in front of you, and a tear rolls down your face.
"Recent thoughts: 'I want to get off 12 Years of Suffering.'"
Can you report a comment for being too good?
I read all of that.
that was unexpected
Brav f'n O. I feel like the comment section of the entire video could end up being what the ride is to some, eternal sunshine and darkness. 12 years from now who's reading and riding and for how long?
as i am dyslexic, i prefer 12 years of suffering that i end up reading this
doctor: you have 12 years to live
me: *gets in line to marcel vos's newest ride*
Getting in line means you'll be queing your last 12 year's lol.
I don't think there'll be a line for that
If you ride it, you wont even last 1 month unless you bring supplies.
@@ronaldsilvesters9567 Well you wont survive anyway so you might as well not take the supplies. The supplies will likely slow the cart down to a speed where your parents will already be dead before your corpse will finish the ride. They wont be able to give you a burrial.
@@cognitivedissonance4938 That's fine. Your body can decompose on the ride.
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is from 2002, this video was posted in 2018
2018 - 2002 = 16 years
A human can go fine with roughly 6 hours of sleep
There are 24 hours in a day
6/24 = 25%
25% of 16 years = 4 years
16 years - 4 years = 12 years .....
Precisely the amount of time needed to test the train if you wanted to be present during the entire event and pausing it while you sleep.
Nice try attempting to convince us that its not practical to test it in real time, but now we know that you actually did it - and only posted the video in 2018 after you finished the real-time testing of your creation. I've caught you red handed mate...

Guy: awesome! I choose roller coaster ride!
Judge: *smiles*
and then they all blow each other?
Talk about a sneaky death sentence. Because how is one suppose to eat or drink while on a ride? Unless each roller coaster car had it's own star trek replicator built into it, any one on the ride would die of either starvation or dehydration.
When each car finally hit the station they would be removing half or fully decayed corpses. Not one person on the planet could be able to survive the whole ride. And if one did, behold you have found the first immortal.
There's a dan aykroyd and chevy chase movie with basically that idea from 1991
Buck Rodgers the ride in game time takes over 82 thousand years; won’t even be decayed corpses, the ride itself would scatter into dust before it ever finished.
@@Miners666,
Well that all depends on the weather of the location. Just remember the corpses of the Pharaohs of Egypt where found intact. Yes, they where prepared before burial. But depending on the weather, that same thing can also happen naturally.
Not to mention how often, and how well, the ride itself is maintained.
12 years is impossible because Windows will update and ask you to restart lol
You'd get away pretty safely running the game on windows xp, with a windows 7 machine capturing off the winxp machine's graphics output.
Just don't connect it to the internet than.
You can turn those automatic updates off
Mr. Bones used those twelve years to get an engineering degree. God help us all.

Mr. Tux holy shit. This isn't even a joke...
I've never actually played RCT2 so I don't know about the specifics or limits of certain things, but going just off what I learned from your video, here's a thought: why not have multiple synchronized rides that function like a counter in base 20?
You know how when counting in base 10, the 10s place increments once for every 10 increments in the 1s position, the 100s place increments once for every 10 increments in the 10s position and so on. Given that the lap limit is 20, we can treat it as base 20 instead.
So for every 20 laps of the first ride, a coaster on the second ride moves out of its station to the next block section.
When a coaster on the second ride finishes its 20 laps, a coaster on the third ride moves out of its station to the next block station on its circuit.
And so on and so forth.
The time spent here would depend on optimizing the use of landscape data and finding the perfect balance between ride-length and the number of rides. Perhaps it's enough to at least warrant an experiment?
All you'd need to measure would be the time taken to complete the first and second ride, the rest of the data can be calculated easily using that as a base.
The very last ride in the chain may very well take exponentially longer to complete than even this monster you built here.
Yup, this is the one. You could rig the whole map with these sync trains in a chain with a bit of design thought and create a ride that would last very long.
This is it!
@@ALLenROOK never ending ride? They all loop into each other? 2 stations per ride plus brake blocks, I think that would work!
Can you link more than two rides together in this game?
"I've been waiting 240 years to get on this thing!"
But if the ride is so long, won't people poop on the seat, tho?
Maybe once or twice. The bigger mess is when they die and decompose in the seat.
Put a McDonalds or two between each block section. Should prevent any starvation or thirst that will occur on the ride
NVM Add a McDonalds every 24 km
@@spazmaticaa7989 but if you eat only mcdonalds for 12 years you will die of malnutrition
@@lambertstarr1218 Ive seen a documentary that some food items of mcdonalds are quite healthy, like the salad.

smart man
I've been able to have 12 years free from you. So I wouldn't call it suffering.
Also, I'm sorry I've been gone so long. You were just a terrible 3 month old and I could tell we weren't going to get along once you grew up! So, in a way, it's totally your fault!
the ride that will even do Mr. Bones in
looks too intense for me
A recent Game Maker's Toolkit mentioned how players have a tendency to optimize the fun out of a game.
Its saddening that every decision I've ever made in my life has led me to this sad moment where I'm watching this at 3am
Whoever reads this comment dont be like this guy above me.
You should be very honoured to have witnessed this event
If the saddest part of your life is watching a funny 10 minute video I think you're doing alright
Perhaps life is not linear? More of a "anything can happen at any time" type deal
This coaster is too intense for me.
Personally, i want to go on something more than 12 years of suffering
Just looking at 12 Years of Suffering makes me feel sick.

There was a lot of numbers and steps there.. Sorry if you stated this, does the block section (Can we call it the block chain? :-P ) coaster also do 20 laps?
A coaster with multiple trains cannot do multiple laps (would cause some issues if a train was loading guests and another train was about to speed through the station to start its next lap), so no, it only does a single circuit.
He mentioned at one point that coasters with small turn pieces like the wild mouse that's used as the block break coaster can't do multiple laps, which is why the "mini" coaster type is used for the enormous one.
What?! Does xisumavoid watch RCT2?! I didn't know that!🤔
@@jonahfriberg133 Probably because this is a technical channel and he 'might' have played the game when he was younger. So I'm not that surprised
Thanks for the Twitter recommendation... I want to beat this somehow...
doctor: you have 12 years and 207 days to live
me:
God I hope you wrote a script to automate the creation of that abomination. Please tell me you didn't manually input a coaster that uses the entirety of the memory the game can handle... did you?
Can a coaster sync with more than one other coaster? If so, it seems like you could get an exponential decline (eg coaster A runs once every 20 laps of B, but B runs every 20 laps of C, etc) which would probably beat this. If they can't sync this way, then oh well, useless idea.
If so, that would be 20^31 = 21,474,836,480,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (2.1 * 10^40) laps around the big track. Doing the same math that was done at the end of the video gets us roughly 449,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (4.498 * 10^38) years real time. According to Wolfram Alpha, this is about 33,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (3.3 * 10^28) times the age of the universe.
All those zeros make my brain ache. A few other thoughts.... 1. I hope this is possible. 2. Something amazing about a species that can conceive of something that is longer than the age of the universe. .... In a $20 piece of software no less.
@@lettuce141 I haven't actually played this game, but it looks like you can go higher. I looked up that here is a maximum number of 255 rides you can build. If you have 255 tiny rides chained together so that it takes 20 laps of the previous one to do 1 lap of the next one, the final ride will require 20^255, or (5.8 * 10^331) laps of the first ride. A little over (googol^3). Even if each lap of the first ride took a second of real time, there is enough time for all matter in the observable universe to decay to subatomic particles before the final ride makes a lap. If we're lucky, we'll finish before the heat death of the universe.
Why limit yourself to only 3 tracks. Why not make 15 tracks with 2 cars each?
Have you seen the preparation this guy done for this video? If it was as simple as that then he would have tried it

This video is absolutely brilliant, I am blown away at your analytic mind and the imagination of it. Your descriptions were so fantastic and helped me understand other stuff in the real world. Bravo!
god do i hope there's a toilet on those carts
and a food stand with an infinite supply
There is but the food isn't free lol
They do not need such supplies. The coaster makes it so they do not need to eat, sleep, drink, nor defecate. For it ties its victims to the seat of the car, never to be released for another 12 years. They may sleep, but *it* will not let them in order to make suffer more.
@jessnicaa It takes 12 years to run the in-game ride in real life, not 12 to make it.
122,466 in-game years... wow

You want to go on something more thrilling than Merry-Go-Round 1, Mister Guest? Yes, I know of such a ride, I learn of such things from a Dutchman's TH-cam video. "I'm not paying that much to go on/for 12 years of suffering"? This is fair, the ticket price is now free. This ride has other ways of making you pay. Your wife, your children on the phone--they will beg me to let you come home. They and a thousand letters shall be turned away from my doorstep. Enclosed in their envelopes shall be news bearing the death of both your parents, the marriage of your daughter, and birth of your grandchildren. And when you finally get off, Mister Guest, when the only two things you can see are the 1x1x10 tile of elevated terrain that I've blocked the park exit off with and the line to get back on the ride...you will know the price of this thrilling ride you so wanted has been paid.
Dude, that was deliciously dark. Thank you for that
Now set up a small server that you just keep on for the coming month to see the values of the coaster
At coasters this long the ratings would probably get messed up and be something like 327,67 excitement and intensity
Livestream it for science!
And now, LET IT RUN 12 years and make a video of it.
We would have a single 1 Petabyte hard drive to fit this video in by then.
The best part is that TH-cam can handle that. Like, more footage than that is uploaded in like 2 hours.

VPN
999 GB Free space
OBS recorder
Livestream it

2 seconds in the video and i'm already in tears of laughter ... this is cruelty at it's best
Here's an idea.
A maze that takes up the entire landscape data and 255 guests trying to figure it out.
From what I understand, they take a random turn at every possible intersection... Which means they could spend an ungodly amount of time just piddling around in circles and make 0 progress in the maze.
It took 255 guests 6 in game years for at least 1 guest to solve a 15X15 maze that wasn't design to take advantage of their random turning mechanic (which I think would be a maze of endless 4x intersection loops)
This is insane! I'm wonder if anyone will ever run a full test on this!
And with seeing this, I absolutely feel like to dust off RCT again and think up crazy ideas like this by myself.
Awesome! I'm always stunned by your in depth knowledge of RCT2 :D
One question: why haven't you built the roller coaster on ground level? Aren't you using more tiles for foodpaths now? Ah well, it probably doesn't make a difference, you know your stuff very well
I could indeed maybe have saved 1 or 2 footpath tiles if I built the coaster on ground level. However, that is maybe about a 0.0001% difference or so and building the big coaster from the top down was easier.
It would be insensitive to share this video on a 12 Years A Slave related video.
