Matt, I think your main pain here was not meeting the requirements for each coaster. Different coasters require different things to be present to get their full excitement; not meeting the requirements usually halves the excitement rating (and intensity and nausea, weirdly). For example, you can meet the requirements for a corkscrew coaster with just one half of a corkscrew, but you need a big drop for a hypercoaster. This is true of all tracked rides as well, not just coasters. Pretty sure that was what was happening with your launched coaster pair. One of them met it's requirements, the other didn't. So even though they were identical, one had 6 excitement and the other had around 3. Because it's stats were halved!
the corkscrew is the best coaster to cheese scenarios with. You just put it in powered launch at lowest speed and have it do 2 station segments onto a half corkscrew. It cost around 700 dollars to build. The stats are good enough to charge around 7 dollars a ride and adds i think 165 to the guest soft cap.
It's honestly a real challenge to get 6 excitement on a Stand-Up coaster even if you don't fail to meet the requirements. It's a super bad ride type for something like this.
Not 100% sure, but if I'm remembering correctly, you can build coasters in those rock faces, and the coaster uses the rock as support... that way, coaster pieces don't cost as much, and you get great excitement value going in and out of rocks! Would love to see you try again! 😁
Just reading the title, I thought this was a Marcel Vos video, because he does videos in Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 that pose _these exact sorts of questions._
If you're interested, Marcel Vos has done this exact challenge and it is doable. Also, Im pretty sure the rollercoasters unlock in a specific list, not randomly.
Research is one big list of what will be unlocked. You can control it by not selecting a research option. And say you only put research towards Roller Coaster, there's a specific list it will follow. So yes, it's not random.
Honestly when I saw this, my first thought was "he watched a Marcel Vos video and decided to replicate it", but it became increasingly clear he lacked some of the knowledge that would give him as the video went on. :P
Its because of ‘stat requirements’. Basically every coaster has certain requirements and if not met the ratings are sometimes halved, sometimes even divided by 4. The specific requirements and ‘punishments’ differ per coaster type
The first two coasters and the Jr coaster are the epitome of "Any man can build a bridge, it takes an engineer to build a bridge that just barely stands."
I feel like this would have gone much smoother if all the loans weren't taken out at the start, that loan interest kills! So close to success tho, interesting and fun video, love the roller coaster tycoon videos! ❤
This is one of my all-time favorite games (well, RCT 1 is). The fact that you're playing them is genuinely the best thing. I can't speak for anyone else but I will always watch these, no matter how silly they are.
Please do more! Just *maybe* do a bit of research before the next one so you aren't mostly in the dark. This game isn't exactly known for telling you where you went wrong or why. BUT, messing around is half, if not most of, the fun!
I'd love to see another attempt at this!~ Grew up with these games!~ I remember spending months making a massive roller coaster in sandbox, that was like 300 mph at its slowest point, and it lasted like.... 12 and a half min for the ride. (Or might've been 100 mph... whichever the speed cap was, it hugged it) XD (There were no survivors beyond the station launch) But yeah, would also be a challenge to build these without deleting any parts too. Keep up the great work! (And looking forward to more of your Minecraft playthrough too, as well as more of this!)
The looping coaster is also the strongest shape! Also I haven't played the game in ages, but could you build on the higher areas to get free momentum to not need as much chain lift for speed?
The reason the stand up one has a low excitement is because of the red vertical g’s. Any red number lowers the other values, a lower speed to lower the g’s may have made the difference
Excessive vertical G doesn't reduce excitement, only increase intensity. Excessive lateral Gs are the ones that give big penalties. Stand up coasters have naturally shit stats, though.
@@polygondwanaland8390 To be clear, the extra intensity from excessive vertical G's only comes from the fact that you have a lot of G's. There is no penalty. 10 positive vertical G's gives twice the intensity that 5 positive G's gives.
Some rides have certain requirements that need to be filled. E.G. that rollercoaster that had 3 exitement despite neighbor having 6 might have had other requirements=stats/2
I like that you call us “fellow engineers” at the beginning. I’m in my last year of electrical engineering school and I’m afraid I won’t be able to find a job. You calling me a fellow engineer makes me feel like you believe in me.
Does anyone else find it funny when RCE’s sponsor is a game but he never makes videos on them. Can’t be that fun lol. Big miss from their marketing team if you ask me.
Hey, sometimes if it helps your channel’s revenue, it’s good. Making RUclips videos is an extremely hard job to do. And it’s always great whenever an opportunity comes up to you that’ll give you money. It’s called sponsored ads for a reason
He does sometimes play the game he's sponsored for, but pretty much never when it is mobile trash. Definitely helps show how he really feels about a game.
In the future if you weave the roller-coasters in and out of each other, like make a loop and thread another coaster through the loop, it will increase the excitement.
Funny how we came up with the same solution. When I was younger I loved this game so much. And I would boost them with barrels! Also tunnels and going underground for more excitement! Much love dude!
No apparently he just tried to claim credit for it as obviously I stole the idea from him because only he is the only person capable of coming up with this challenge (that I came up with when I was just 14 years old...). Bit of an architect that bloke sadly! 😅
Hey, RCE! I've been recently getting back into a game that I love and feel you would enjoy called "TerraTech". Would be interesting to see at least a couple episodes from you!
I love this sort of challenge video. It really breathes life into games. I hope this does well so we can see more of this from you. I think this experimental style works well but I would watch you try this again learning from the comments and perhaps after a little research.
according to research done by some celever people (and shared by Marcel Vos) the research is literally just a list of things to research no randomnes to it what so ever.
it been a long time i play rollercoaster tycoon there is a way to get more money without open the park it a little gritch in the game if you go to the trees or water there is dome you can put down the is free but when you delete it you get money
Edit: scrap my comment below, you're not a very nice bloke leaving comments calling my video clickbait. Defo won't be watching your content in the future, I'd suggest you ignore mine too rather than leaving negative comments. Thanks. Hey, just watched your video on this- great job!

It also had red figures which explained why it was at 3 excitement

I was wondering if that was a possibility or if Matt was just....missing a trick.
I always try to go trough any looping i build aswell. + you can build pathways over your rails to boost exitement aswell
Day 8 of asking RCE to make a Satisfactory series.

also, Lateral Gs were in the red for that last coster he built.

Without opening the park?
I think that's called tax fraud.
Without opening? Peak efficiency!
I retract the peak efficiency after completing the video, I believed in you!
The looping coaster is also the strongest shape!
Also I haven't played the game in ages, but could you build on the higher areas to get free momentum to not need as much chain lift for speed?
Hey Matt the researched coasters are not unlocked randomly. Each scenario has a specific order that they unlock in.
you could have build the coasters, saved them, and build them in another try, therefore saving money on trial and error as well as interest.
The reason the stand up one has a low excitement is because of the red vertical g’s. Any red number lowers the other values, a lower speed to lower the g’s may have made the difference
Excessive vertical G doesn't reduce excitement, only increase intensity. Excessive lateral Gs are the ones that give big penalties. Stand up coasters have naturally shit stats, though.

RCE actually stands for Roller Coaster Engineer😳
how about you do a video of you playing one of the games sponsoring you. See if there's any truth to the ad they have you post.
“I wasn’t sure about this ride, but when I saw the 12 barrels I just knew it was good”
Spiffing Brit is that you?
Look into Marcel Vos, he has already did this exact video.

this is the opposite of what its supposed to be done. Reverse Engineering!
You can't fail in a video, unless... You plan a follow-up success video. 🤔🤔🤫🤫🤫🤫
Your videos are ever so slightly getting closer to .. exploiting the game. Cheeky
RCE check out imkibits channel
The courageous hook optimally sparkle because vase conceivably bore up a sneaky den. thundering, subdued class
Are you becoming the Spiffing Brit? This title is making me think I’m watching the wrong channel lol
My girlfriend says the same thing..."4.67 well thats no good, 6.37 thats a little better"
Its gotta be the barrels
according to research done by some celever people (and shared by Marcel Vos) the research is literally just a list of things to research no randomnes to it what so ever.
I'd recommend Marcel Vos on RUclips for RCT information.
Here we go!
hey, you should play teardown again but with mods this time or i wont buy your merch >:D (i will either way XD)
literally the SECOND game youve influenced me to actually buy and play lol
As a min-max idea since you need to have time running for research, probably take the loan out in increments so the interest is a bit lower overall.
hey Matt, you shoulld try Antichamber, it is kind of mind fuck non sense logical game
Wouldnt it have helped as well to not take the loan until you ran out of money originally? Then the debt wouldnt have eaten away as quickly.
You should play RollerCoaster tycoon touch but it is a mobile game however
can you beat openrct2 without opening the game
Feels like someone has been watching Marcel Vos. Either way it was nice to see you attempt the same challenge.
I commented the same thing and they both responded saying he actually didn't copy it, so guess we were both wrong 😳
@@DuckInGameStop Meh, well like I said I enjoyed his attempt and there is a bunch he can learn from that channel.
This game makes me think of an old friend . Staying up all night in the computer room . Playing this and red alert
This was good. He probably could have succeeded if he put them all in a line and sync them all together.
you lost becuse you didnt do the strongest shaped rollercoster im disapointed matt!
Matt accidentally creating a money maker speedrun coaster and an actual real life coaster is great.
The airpowered coaster is pretty good, even without a hill. Not sure if the excitement is over 6 tho…
Next time don't take the loans out at start, but only as you need the money. That way the interest isn't as painful.
