I've been playing RollerCoaster Tycoon again recently. I downloaded it for my iPhone and was a little weirded out by the interface at first but that quickly melted away as the ride gripped to my attention with its coaster-track claws. Why is it so bloody addictive? Even to non-enthusiasts, there's just something about RollerCoaster Tycoon that has people absolutely hooked. Maybe it's the sense of God-like control you have by pretty much having control over your peeps' every move. Maybe it's the fun of creating and controlling your very own theme park. Whatever it is, it's a great game and has so many relatable moments for those of us who play. Here's 9 moments every RCT player is more than familiar with...
When you start a scenario and realise it’s pay-for-entry
When you start a scenario and realise it’s pay-for-entry
Ffs.
When guests think
your park is really good value so you immediately hike the prices
Why yes, that umbrella IS £20. Ker-ching.
When you get really engrossed
with building a coaster and you run out of money
When you build a
really fab, realistic coaster but your guests think it’s too intense so nobody
rides

Fuck them, they’re the ones who are missing out.
When you have to
drown anybody who disagrees with you
How dare they think ill of your beautiful park?

Stealing coaster
names from real parks because you’re not creative enough to think of your own
Nemesis is a TOTALLY original name. And besides, what else
are you MEANT to call a B&M Invert sunk into the ground themed to an alien
monster?

The way anything
other than black trains with orange restraints just feels wrong on a B&M
Dive Machine
Anything else is just barbaric tbh.
So dramatic, only TWO guests died in a giant fiery
explosion, what’s the big deal?
It just feels…so wrong…
But we love it all the same. Got to go now, need to play some more RollerCoaster Tycoon...
