There might be some slight differences between the calculated numbers and the actual numbers in the game due to extra rounding or something like that. Also, I am talking about the RideBonusValue list and EIN values list as two seperate lists because when I wrote this script they were still their own lists in the code. When I was editing this video I discovered that those lists were removed so I made my own big list with all values in it.

Hello Marcel.

How to increase park value in a nutshell: Build some scary ass coasters with 20+ intensity and keep it closed, because the bigger stats a coaster has, the more value it gives, and the value won’t go down cause of age

Can’t wait to see you do a ride overview of the damn multi-dimension coaster

"You don't have to open the ride... since no one will ride it anyway" Love all your videos Marcel. Also, shout out to your mom!

This was a thing I figured out about back when I played vanilla RCT2 as a kid. I would save my coasters as pre-built custom designs and then just delete the ride and rebuild it in the same spot. Luckily, OpenRCT2 has both the "renew ride" feature, plus the cheat to renew all of your rides at once. Of course, if you're using cheats anyway, may as well just use the "999 park rating" cheat directly, haha.

I like keeping my OG rides because they carry their lifetime guest count and revenue stats, so having the renew or refurbish feature is excellent. I wouldn't even mind if it cost as much money as building a new one or required the ride to be closed. All about keeping that first merry go round!

Always love seeing your videos. We're even doing a Roller Coaster Tycoon series on our channel right now, and your videos are a huge inspiration for them. Thanks for uploading!

FINALLY! I found your channel 2 months ago and I've been waiting for an upload ever since. Glad you're back!

Few days ago I wondered if you were still alive since I couldn't recall the last time I saw a new video pop-up. Good thing we got off this ride.

Thanks for the video! If you're taking requests, I'd really like a coaster design tips / fundamentals video. Stuff like: should on-ride photos always be used, when turns should be banked, what the main stat contributors are, the value of loops vs helixes vs drops, etc.

I'm glad you didn't find it boring! With these kinds of videos with lots of math I'm always a bit scared people are going to get bored, but it's good to hear that at least you didn't get bored.

Thank you for the deep explanations ! For now I just used the repair/rebuild option on aging rides to boost the park value up before the end of the deadline . It works but if you want to play it "legit" without abusing the system too much, it's the only thing you can do without limiting the size of your rides and making more of them

Started watching your videos last week and got through all of them, I was bummed out that you hadn’t posted in a while but now I’m excited

I was watching your videos today and wondering where you went, I’m so glad to see you back!

So glad to have you back! Thoroughly enjoyed this one, park value has always been a bit of a mystery to me in RCT2

I love these videos. Me and my brother played a lot of RTC back in the days but never dug into the code for how stuff was calculated. We instead just got a feeling for how stuff worked just by playing the game. These videos explain so much on why our stategies worked or did not work. Like why intense rides contribuated more to park value than gentle rides.

@MarcelVos

4 жыл бұрын

I also got a feeling for how it worked before I actually found out the exact calculations. I was building tiny coasters before Deurklink wrote his guide on the park value.

Thank you again for your interesting and informative videos :) Inspired by you, I’ve wanted to try doing a technical explanation of how things work in Sim City 2000 but have found that information on it is very thin on the ground!

Glad to have you back, always enjoy your content. Hoping you could make a vid on the mechanics of rain? I know the majority of how it works (Umbrellas, guests not wanting to ride "unsheltered" rides [most] and significantly increasing desire to ride "Sheltered" rides [like merry go round and observation tower]) but otherwise I was wondering if there was much more to it than that, and even if you could go into more detail on what sort of changes it does make to preferences. I'll also be honest, I'm mainly asking cause im currently playing through Thunderstorm park, and it sparked my interest in it

Great vid on a special and complicate topic! Had some AHA effects during watching while always remembering the stupidity scenarios where the goal was the infamous "park value". Cant forget my 16year ingame length of a specific scenario i had to deal with -.-

I was just binging your videos, so happy that you're back! Thanks for making such amazing videos 🙏🙏🙏

Happy to see i'm not the only one who missed you! Only yesterday, and i kid you not, i looked up when you uploaded something the last time and hoped you won't stay inactive. And just a few hours later you're back! Amazing Video btw :)

yesterday i was asking where you were(dutch time). and exactly today, you made another video. keep making more video's

These video's are so great! Such an old game and it gets better and better after every video! Keep up the good work Marcel! En groetjes uit Praag!

i havent even played this game in years and even when i did i never really took it that seriously but i just like listening to you talk about it

As a followup to the slowest ride possible, it would be cool to see the highest park rating possible, or actually just the highest/lowest X sounds good. Loved those videos.

Yes! It made my day to see Marcel posting again!

OMG HE'S BACK! I discovered your channel two months ago and watched every video on it, glad to see you're still alive.

Congratulations on the 50K subs!! Also, welcome back to KZread!

Love the videos! Keep up the ride overviews. Your designed in efficient rides have revolutionized my parks.

So that's how it's calculated. Really needed this video! I was always confused what that and the Company value was and why they're there. Thanks for the video, mate! Glad to see you're back too. :) Speaking of Company Value btw, anybody know who has achieved the highest Company Values in all the parks and what the highest was? I've always wondered what the highest Park and Company Values are and how one could do it.

Nice video Marcel. Playing RCT2 for a long time and your videos really helped me get some challenges.

Yeah, I don't expect anyone to play as optimized as possible. When try these tricks once or twice you get a feeling for how they work and then you can incorporate them into your more realistic parks without it seeming too unrealistic. When I play scenarios myself I don't optimize either, but I do apply my strategies. Nice to hear you've been building your own coasters, that's a lot of fun so keep that up!

I'm glad your still around. Love you videos

Welcome back. We missed you!

Great video again Marcel! Got another video idea for you: compare prices / preferences of all stalls in rct. I'm interested to see which are most efficient. Thank you!

Welcome back, you beautiful king.

Love this video. I have to replay a bunch of scenarios I've already beat because I'm just starting Classic on my phone... Just want to get Diamond Heights over with. I prefer the harder scenarios and I'm getting bored lmao

Just got back into the game and got open rct2 cause of your videos, I could tell something was different and it turns out it was the formula change for new rides

i love your channel so much, keep up the good work!

Happy to support man!

I was wondering how you could possibly do a 20 min video on park value. Now I see. Great video too. Thanks.

I laughed so hard at seeing 20+ of those tiny red roller coasters jammed together, and the first time those mazes leading to void death appeared 😂 I actually would get rid of troublesome guests the same way as a kid in RCT1

The Return of the King

Your videos literally make my day Marcel

I do quite enjoy the way the rides contribute to the park value. taking throughput and potential ticket income into account means it's more or less valuing the ride for the income that it can make from the current point onwards.

Glad you're back on the KZread thingy. Stay safe and study hard.
