Roller coaster tycoon manual

This Paris attraction, called the Centrifuge Railway Chemin du Centrifuge , featured a foot high hill leading into a foot wide loop. The rider would sit in a wheeled cart, pray to the physics gods, and hang on as the car whipped down the hill and through the loop with only centrifugal force keeping the cart and rider on course. The circular design was very unforgiving in the g-force department, and whiplash complaints were no doubt part of the reason why it only lasted a few seasons.

In a man named Edward Prescott built a new looping coaster, also at Coney Island. This ride, called Loop The Loop, was oval-shaped to reduce g forces. Its low seatingcapacity, perhaps, was why it only lasted six years. His ride was a foot long wooden structure shaped like the Russian ice slides. Riders would climb a platform, board cars and be pushed down a hill and over a few bumps. At the other end, workers would hoist the car to the top of a second station, riders would board again and coast back in the other direction.

The early ride focused more on sightseeing than excitement, so the bench-like coaster cars faced sideways and the ride traveled at a mere 6 mph. In late , a man named Charles Alcoke created a U-shape version of the Switchback ride that did not require riders to unload and reload mid-way.

In Phillip Hinkle added a cable hoisting mechanism. Soon, track-mounted brakes were developed, track designs improved, and the rides began to look and act like modern-day roller coasters. This revolutionary safety advancement made steeper drops and faster. Miller, a complete coaster tycoon, held over patents on roller coaster devices, and designed more than roller coasters.

This ride, designed by Harry Traver in , topped out in the intensity department — often leaving riders with broken ribs or snapped collar bones. An on-staff nurse was always present. The Cyclone was not the only roller coaster from this era that didn't last.

The Great Depression and World War II saw the decay and destruction of more than 1, roller coasters in the United States, and at least that many overseas.

The amusement park industry was given a shot in the arm in with the opening of the first successful theme park: Disneyland. Both rides revived the centuries-old novelty of going upside down this time with proper safety restraints. These led to rides with double loops, triple loops, and combinations of corkscrews, loops and other elements — the race was on! Building a Ride. Tips on Using the Scenario Editor. We strongly encourage you to take the time to read this file in order to get the benefit of changes made after this manual went to print.

To read this file, double-click on the ReadMe. Exit all other programs before installing. If AutoPlay is enabled, a title screen should appear. Click on the Install button. Once installation is complete, double-click on the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 game icon to start the game.

Note: Minimum install copies all of the files required to play the game, but leaves some of the larger files on the CD. This option lets you conserve hard disk space. Full install copies more files to your hard disk. The main difference you may notice between Minimum and Full install is that with Full install you can play two musical themes at once if two rides close to each other both have music.

Break ground and start from scratch, open the gates to existing parks or just create the most gut-wrenching roller coaster ride ever. With wild new rides, new theme decorations and easy-to-use building tools, creating the ultimate amusement park is now more fun than ever!

We recommend you play through the tutorial levels, however, to learn about some of the new enhancements. Part of the fun of a new game is exploring and discovering. The following are the most obvious examples of this new freedom, available right from the Main Menu:.

See page RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is all new. Under the hood of the game is new, more efficient program code and many new features. You can import landscapes from older saved games into your scenarios while in the Scenario Editor see page Most landscape files from previous versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon will load, but some scenery items might look different.

It is possible that unpredictable results might arise from importing landscapes from these products. Technical Support cannot help you with these types of issues. The following are the default key commands. You can reassign any command in the Options menu, while playing the game.

Close topmost window. Backspace Close all floating windows. Esc Pause game. Pause Zoom out. Page Up Zoom in. Page Down Rotate View. Enter Rotate construction object. Z Underground view toggle. H Remove vertical land toggle. V See-through ride. F1 Adjust water. F2 Build scenery. F3 Build paths. F4 Build new ride. F5 Financial information.

F Research information. R Park information. P Guest list. G Staff list. S Recent messages. M Show map. Tab Screenshot. Special Features: Riders dangle face-down up the first tower, then drop feet straight down, through a foot vertical loop, foot butterfly and up the second foot tower. Then they ride it again — backwards! The commands for saving and loading game files, track designs, landscapes and scenarios vary slightly depending on where you are in the game, but it is selfexplanatory once you understand the interface.

Saving your park at the beginning of each year is also helpful. You can save your progress in a RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 game at any time by clicking on the Options button diskette icon in the Main View , and selecting Save. Similarly, clicking on the Options button diskette icon while in the Scenario Editor will save the landscape you are currently tinkering with. To save a scenario, click the double-arrow button in the lower right corner that takes you through the steps of creating a scenario.

The final step saves the scenario. Before you can install RollerCoaster Tycoon and start playing, check this list to make sure that your computer has everything you need:.

For best performance, we recommend 32 MB or more. How much you need depends on how much of the game you choose to install. If you think you have all of these, but still have a problem running the game, please contact Technical Support for assistance. To do so, follow these instructions:. That means that just putting the disc in the. The first is to what directory you want to install the game. You can accept the default, type in a directory path, or use the Browse button to seek out a directory.

Pick one of the options presented:. Minimum installs all of the files required to play the game, but leaves some of the larger files on the CD. This strikes a balance between the needs of game speed more files copied versus conserving hard disk space less files copied. Full installs the entire game, including all of the larger files.

If you have the hard disk space to spare, doing a Full installation can make the game run faster. If you change your mind at this point, click Exit. Note that the space these take up was not included in the total noted when you selected what type of installation to do. Start New Game lets you begin a fresh game — a scenario of your choosing. Load Saved Game is what you use to continue a game that you saved previously. Those of you who think you can figure it out for yourself, go ahead and click Start New Game.

The tutorial is a brief guide to how RollerCoaster Tycoon works. When you click the Show Tutorial button, the game runs itself for a while. It starts one of the game scenarios, then goes through the motions, step by step, of setting up a few rides and performing a few other important park management tasks.

You can learn a lot by watching this. Click Start New Game. The tutorial skips the menu of scenarios different parks in different situations and goes directly into the first scenario. The first window shows what you need to do to succeed in this scenario. Always read this. Click the New Ride button. The Ride Selection window opens. Select the sleepy looking face tab Gentle Rides to see the available gentle rides.

At this point, the mouse pointer when held over the landscape controls where the ride will be built. The landscape area needed to construct the ride is marked, and a yellow arrow indicates the orientation of the ride which is irrelevant for a Merry-Go-Round, but quite important for many rides. The cost of construction is deducted from your treasury, which is tracked in a box at the bottom left of the screen. Now, you must build the Entrance and Exit for the ride.

You use the mouse pointer to choose positions for both. This is a very important step, because every ride must have an Entrance and an Exit, and both must be positioned so that you can build paths to and from the ride, or else your customers will never get there.

Every Entrance and every Exit takes up one landscape square. Note that the Entrance and Exit are free; they come as a package with construction of the ride itself. Next, you must build a Queuing Line from the Entrance to the existing path otherwise, no one will be able to wait in line to board the ride, and that cuts down on business.

You also need a path from the Exit to the main Forest Frontiers path. Click the Footpaths button. The Path Construction window opens.

Click the Queuing Line button the blue one with people. The first stage of the Queuing Line is built, and the cost is deducted from your treasury. Move the pointer one square further away, and click again to add another piece. Notice the money leaving your account each time. Now, you have a completed Merry- Go-Round with paths and a waiting area, but it is still closed as you can see by the sign flashing on the Entrance.

Merry-Go-Round 1 window. You see that the main park entrance sign is still flashing a Closed message. You now have one ride working and the park open. Select the Rollercoasters tab the face flying downhill. The Select Track Design window opens. At this point, you can choose to construct one of the pre-designed track layouts, or you can choose to build a custom coaster. The Station Platform is pre-selected as the first item to be built.

Positioning the station first is good planning. The cursor is a white box with a yellow arrow in it like the Entrance cursor. The box marks where the first piece of Station Platform will be built, and the arrow shows the direction the cars will travel. The cursor moves forward each time and continues flashing.

First, we determine the direction of the next piece of track. Near the top of the construction window, select the center arrow the. Second, we set the grade rise or drop of the next piece of track.

Below the direction buttons, find and click on the Mild Incline button just to the right of center. Lastly, we add the pulling chain to this section of track. Click on the Chain button to the right of the incline buttons.

You probably noticed that as you made your selections, some of the choices in the other areas changed from available to unavailable or vice versa. What you can do at any point in the design of a roller coaster depends on the structural and functional limits — and the safety regulations.

If you understand how you built that straight, inclined, chained section of track, then the rest of the design and construction process should be clear to you. Curves, drops, and everything else are built using exactly the same process — choose a direction, choose a grade, then build the section.

As we build this particular design, however, we run into a few of the limits on what we can do. This is not a complete list, but it covers the issues we run into during the tutorial. However, it is a violation of the safety code to build intersections, so you cannot have the track cross itself at the same level. If you build yourself into a corner or decide to make a change, you can use the Demolish button the bulldozer to remove the. The height marks visible on every section of track help you to line things up.

Now that the track itself is complete, you must position and build an Entrance and an Exit for Roller Coaster 1. Only you can decide when the design is done, so the Entrance button is not activated for you as it was when you built the Merry-Go-Round. Position the Exit square adjacent to the Station Platform and click to build it.

The Roller Coaster 1 window opens. Testing also helps you determine how much to charge for it and how popular the ride should be. The ride begins its test run. At first, there is no information in this display. When the first test run is complete, much of the missing data is filled in. We explain what all this. Select the View tab the video camera. Now that the new ride is open and functional, you need to set an admission price. This is perhaps the most important decision you make for each ride.

Not only does the price influence how much money you make, it also affects the popularity of the ride and, therefore, the attitudes of your guests. Return to the Roller Coaster 1 window, and click the Income and Costs tab the coin and ticket. Leave the Minimum Wait and Maximum Wait times as they are. This sets the ride to begin when one of two things happens — either the ride has a load of passengers or the cars have been sitting at the Station Platform for the Maximum Wait time.

Even if the ride has a full load, the cars will not leave the station until the Minimum Wait time has elapsed. Go to the View tab and close the Roller Coaster 1 window. Finally, we must consider the long term operation of the park and the safety of the guests. Every ride is a mechanical device, and machines have a tendency to become worn and break down. We need a Mechanic to perform regular inspections of each ride and repair those that do stop working.

Click the Staff button. The Staff window opens. You can also use construction. When you decide to build a new ride, you click the New Ride button. This opens the Ride Selection window, which holds the tools you use to construct everything from bathrooms to roller coasters. Finances The third tab calls up a graph of your Park Value. This is a some- In this respect the park business is no different from any other enterprise what elusive number, calculated by expert assessors to reflect — finances are vitally important.

Success is a matter of meeting your what the park is worth in terms of land value and equipment goals, and that means sensibly disbursing your funds. The Finances owned, the quality and profitability of the rides and the park as a whole, window helps you do just that.

This window embodies five categories of key information and options that The Weekly Profit graph tracks your financial history on a weekly allow you to both track and modify within limits your pecuniary position.
