Check out the Part II to this video where I go over some odd RCT1 coaster types I failed to mention here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pJxrj6mYl7q5hMo.html Reddit user Mooco2 kindly pointed out a few bits of missing info that I wanted to put here for those nerdier than I. 1. The Mini Coaster (Rocket Cars) was likely inspired by Blackpool Pleasure Beach's Space Invader II, despite its resemblance to the American-made Space Mountain. 2. There WAS a single-rail motorbike themed coaster! Motor Cycle Chase at Knott's Berry Farm, which was actually later re-themed to the Wacky Soap Box Derby ride seen in the video. 3. RCT1 included a train with 2-across seating on the Inverted Roller Coaster, based off of the sole Giovanola inverted coaster built at South Africa's Gold Reef City. 4. The B&M flyer was not in RCT1, but the Lay Down coaster was. 5. The Six Flags Holland scenario is the one cursed with the prototype SLC, El Condor, not Six Flags Belgium's Vampire (thanks Serpentrax!) Cheers!

The very build of the coaster and the unfitting lack of options for ride design always screamed as though it were something made up by the developers to me, like they were running out of unique types of roller coasters. Hard to imagine each and every one of them were real! At least the vast majority of them (and not some possible made up variation of another coughcough4:30) It being some ancient coaster makes so much more sense now. Anyway this is insane that roller coaster tycoon was actually taking itself that seriously of a game. The developers of the game and of the openrct mod make me that much more proud of our older generation of games!

The amount of work and research that must have gone into this video is insane. I also appreciate the snark. Love it.

Linnanmäki also has a ride similar to Speeplechase made by German IHLE K. G. Bruchsal, but I guess it's not the same since it has only minor drops.

It blew my mind to realize how much influence rct drew from British parks. As an American child I never saw a spiral slide at any amusement park I'd ever seen (I think blackpool pleasure beach has/had one), the flying coaster was exclusive to one relatively obscure park in the UK and only lasted a year in the late 90s, and I just assumed the vertical drop coaster was one he made up. Not to mention many scenarios draw inspiration from British parks, like Katie's World.

The Suspended Coaster is clearly based on the original "Vampire Ride" at Chessington World of Adventures. Chris Sawyer is Scottish and grew up obsessing over these British rides. It was only later in life when he was an adult that he travelled and experienced what theme parks had to offer internationally.

I could be wrong but I remember the inverted roller coaster (B&M inspired) was in the vanilla version but with 2 across seats. The 4 across cars were included in loopy landscapes expansion. I just remember it being odd that it was only a 2 across train but looked like B&M when playing several scenarios where I built that coaster model. The option for 2 or 4 was in the expansion and was for the inverted coaster, not the suspended looping coaster.

Earlier ones in the game were often based on UK and/or EU based coasters because that was where Chris was based.

And later ones (RCT2) were more likely to be inspired by US based coasters or Six Flags (the big sponsor) specifically. :)
