RCT3 help!

[Worm]

I bought RCt3 yesterday and i think either something's wong, or i'm doing something wrong.

 

Whenever i build a ride peeps don't ride it! I am good in RCT2 and NL so i know what kinda curves a ride should get, but in RCT3 peeps JUST DON'T RIDE!! this also happens with flatrides.

 

Please help!

 

EDIT: Ignore the above and just answer the poll! A pic of the terrain i'll be using is on pg.3. I don't have Wil! or Soaked so just take that into consideration.

If the excitement rating is high, you just have to wait, or place something near the ride which attracts the guests - shops are a great idea!!!

Usually you have to make the ride not so fast and intense. If u really want to keep ur coaster then use the Re-naming peeps thing.

Name one of ur peeps Sam Denney. This makes all peeps ride every coaster before leaving the park. So they'll have to ride it.

 

Hope this helps.

Show us a photo of the ride, and maby we can help you.

 

Remeber, RCT3's Intensity ratings are based on real life, un-like RCT2. I'm not sure about NL though.

[Worm]

i can't show a pic cause the game is on a PC without internet.

 

My highest intensity rating of all my coasters is around 8.

 

But, tell me this, why won't people ride my flats?

i've got drop rides, chairswings and also a top spin. my top spin has been operating 2 years now and only one customer: the inspector!

Do you play in sandbox

[Worm]

^(I thought i was doing something wrong)

 

YES! i do play in sandbox. shouldn't I!?

 

Career mode's too diffucult and boring!

Okay, I will take you through some troubleshooting:

 

1- Is your park open? <- simple

(If not, click on the park entrance and open the park.)

 

2-Is the ride open? <- simple

(If not, click on the ride and open it.)

 

3A- Is your ride far away from the entrance to the park?

(Peeps tend to ride things that are close to the entrance. If you have the expansion packs, one of them comes with a "passport machine", this offers incentives for peeps to roam further into your park.)

 

3B- Is your ride near other rides and attractions?

(Peeps don't like to go far out of their way for a ride, they will most likely stay in the area with many rides/attractions/food stalls/etc.)

 

4- Are the entrances to your rides connected to paths?

(Often times, when you terraform the landscape paths disconnect, if you get messages saying peeps are having trouble getting to the entrances of things, try smoothing out that areas terrain, as a path may be disconnected.)

 

Overall, I suggest that you start a new park. Try adding lots of scenery. And most of all, try to build you park around the park entrance, if you link things slowly outward, peeps will go.

 

I hope this helps you, though I'd have to see your situation to further help, I think this can assist you for the time being. BTW, numbers 1 & 2 are not meant to insult you, they are just two simple things that you could have easily missed.

If you didn't play in the sandbox, it could be the prises.

[FunkehHumour]

I'll let you know when I give a crap

[the sound]

^ whats your problem?

 

There doesn't seem to be any reasonable explanation that i can think of. Are there peeps in your park?

[Worm]

thanx for the help guys, the problem is solved. it just, went right. People are now riding my rides!

 

Thanx

[Worm]

How do you see the pics that has been taken whlst your peeps are riding coasters?

 

AND

 

the pics that you take with the "Microsoft photostory thingie"?

[NitroRider]

No. they automatically save themselves in My DOcuments/RCT3 as bitmaps. if you want to upload them convert them to jpeg.

[Worm]

^OOOH! god i'm stupid! It's the same as in RCT2!!

 

[the sound]

So what was the problem?

[Worm]

I have no idea? i guess it only was the one park in the sandbox. but its all solved up now and thanx for the help!

 

^Espesially you!

[Worm]

Sorry for double post but theres (yet again) another problem!

 

I created a spinning coaster and a tilt coaster with ratings somewhere in the 7. When i go back to the coaster after a year, (in the game, duh!) the ratings are like 0.35 and some even lower.

 

Is this just a glitch or do coasters really get THAT badder?

[thomas2]

^Well I can tell you that mine always keep the same ratings as in the beginning

[Worm]

^Thats the weird thing!

 

I've alsso made an Giga coaster named Goliath (Kill me for being original), but its ratings stays the same!?

 

Also the tilt and spinner's rating is low, and then up again and so on!

 

My RCT is just F*#@$k up!

[Worm]

Sorry for the TRIPLE post but i got a qeustion. (yet again)

 

How do you get the Huss jump 2, split coaster, and that funny coaser that looks like the ride Hershey said they were getting?

[asr]

They come with Rollercoaster Tycoon 3: Wild! the second expansion pack for RCT3.

If a coaster is down a lot, the ratings may fall drastically. However, once it is running again, the rating should go bak up. Try checking your down-time percent.

[Worm]

I don't believe it can go any lower than 10 minutes...

[the sound]

I think you game is just totally stuffed up!

 

I just had a look on the Atari Forums, and i can't find anything that is like your problem.

Simple. Buy the expansion pack!
