10 minutes of useless information about RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 

Didn't know most of these, though to be fair it would've been creepy if I had known how many save files were on your computer

"I just killed 32 guests on this coaster" Ah there it is. "I just killed another 3 Guests, this time by drowning" As to be expected.

More useless info: the park at 7:47 is a perfect re-creation of the park shown in the "oldest RCT1/2" video. Nice detail. =]

Fun fact, on the mobile version of RCT Classic, if you hold your finger on one spot you get a zoomed-in magnifying glass to let you select small things on a phone screen. However, if you do this and highlight a duck, you get the quack sound effect EVERY FRAME, which is incredibly goofy. Also that 'Hee hee hee' was absolutely unhinged

"I'll probably never answer for the hundreds of thousands of guests I've murdered". That's to be expected, Marcel, just... "heeeheeeheeheeeee" Ok, that laugh was creepy.

I have another useless one. The Mega Park in RCT1 vanilla doesn't appear anywhere in the install files. The game will dynamically generate the scenario and its associated file after you complete all the scenarios.

The duck detail is additional game play and 100% useful. In modern times that would be DLC.

With how these games are programmed, I don't think there's such a thing as useless information. It continues to amaze me.

On the subject of ducks; clicking on ducks in RCT3 not only makes them quack, but has a chance to make them lose all their feathers. You can also pop your guest's balloons while they are still holding them.

I love how many of these are just like "my most used scenery item is X." "the 5th ride in my favorite park is named Y" etc. it's very dumb but it really reiterates the "uselessness" in a way that makes a viewer laugh, even when they're surrounded by other technically useless but more normal information like "guests get a special thought if you stare at them too long" "there are [large number] of possible color combinations for a ride" etc

Man those user submitted coasters always made me question reality as a kid as to how the hell I was supposed to afford them and even have the space to build them.

8:04 The middle colour for the Car Ride is actually used: it's for the stripes on the spinning tunnel element. I don't remember if that was a vanilla element for the Car Ride or was brought over from the Ghost Train in OpenRCT2, though.

I legitimately cackled at the "hehehehehehe" after never answering for hundreds of thousands of guests marcel has murdered. It felt so out of place from marcel in the best possible way! I love the usual informative and chill/casual vibes of the normal videos, but throwing something like that in a guaranteed laugh, at least from me.

It's crazy that Chris Sawyer made so many references in his game to himself. I always wondered if he knew it would be a classic game still played over 20 years later.

I have to assume that GWS are the initials of Chris Sawyer's wife or child or something. Also fun fact about the ducks; if you play for 36 hours without stopping, when you click on them, they don't quack, but say "Go to bed, Kevin," in the disappointed voice of your grandmother.

Knowing that the ducks can quack is arguably not useless information as it may be crucial to bringing happiness to someone.

8:53 is the best part

The addition of objectives of all scenarios around 6 min sounds like a good base for a challenge run where you must achieve those in every scenario in the game.

I just had the horrifying realisation that the trees don’t have shadows as part of their sprites. I can never unsee this anymore now

1:00 I always got such a kick out of seeing the, "Is someone watching me?" thoughts when I was a kid.

These were awesome. I actually knew the final one, as I played that scenario last week, and very appropriately used that lake to create a boat hire called "Dong Lake."

8:11 F for Jessica, Kimber and Arco

At 8:04; the middle color is for the spinning tunnel element. Though for vanilla RCT2 you're right, because the sport car ride does not have access to the tunnel element but it still has this color option. The cat cars do have access to it though. In OpenRCT2 all car rides can use the tunnel. :)

Love all your videos, Marcel! During this video you mention how guests jump to see over the barriers in the maze - I was always under the impression that they were jumping for joy because they loved being on the maze ride. Your explanation makes way more sense 😄

Here’s an interesting fact about roller coaster tycoon three. Normally you cannot have a roller coaster track going through a flat ride unless you do mods. However, if you put down the water coaster water trough section, you can put a flat ride over it because for some reason the game considers any section with the water trough to be empty. Therefore, you can put a flat right down on top of it.

Reducing the rings on space rings actually blew my mind

You should do a challenge where you get the total challenges in every scenario done in one park!

"I just killed 32 guests on this coaster." For those that didn't notice, the coaster is the exact same as the oldest RCT youtube video marcel could find.

Ive always loved when guests thought "I have the strangest feeling that someone is watching me".

2:28 I found out on accident as a kid. I did it to make the Observation Tower faster and found it to get stuck.

This feels like what would happen if you and Marcel Vos ever got drunk at a party and you asked him about RCT 😂😂😂

7:33 Makes sense. The images contain transparency information. And the transparent areas are not considerd for hit-checks. Given that sprites are always square, that is necessary.

These will make for great conversation starters during dinner parties.

What i learned today: Marcel is into counting and calculating things

These are actually hilarious. They are the perfect amount of interesting but useless. I love what you have selected.

The ducks was actually pretty useful When i get bored. I am gonna abuse some duck noices

i think that giggle was the most intense emotion you've ever expressed in a video and frankly I'm terrified

7:05 Do I smell a challenge? I kind of want to give RCTopen a spin and seriously try for those numbers

5:34 absolute banger 🔥

8:52 is actually really interesting, definitely going to incorporate that in my next playthrough

These in between lines about murdering guests make Marcel sound like some sort of villain that had committed alot of war crimes. "I'll never answer for hundreds of guest Ive murdered" 😂

@4:44 This is actually an incredibly useful fact and i will cherish this knowledge forever

4:12 New challenge! Beat every scenario by only building the Hyper Twister design u(1114).

I love how so many of these sound like a setup for actually useful info, and then the video just moves on.

If there was a true sequel to RCT2, it would be "RCT3: The Guests' revenge against Marcel"

That laugh at 8:53 is that of a mad man with nothing to lose.

Well... you certainly can't say we were click baited with the title on this one😂 We got exactly what was described. 10/10 would watch another set of useless facts

7:40 the hitbox is so precise because its not a hitbox, rather the pixel you are on top off

you are correct about the 'sus' pond in Factory Capers. what makes me feel worse about it is putting flower beds all around it in it's full glory in the normal version of the game - and rowing boats. I'm going to be over there --> with a gallon of eyebleach.

“I will probably never answer for the guests I’ve killed” Oh don’t be so sure, they could try to make another Roller Coaster Tycoon reboot that ends up sucking horribly.

Finally someone pointed out the lake in factory capers. They knew what they were doing.

10:36 - That's the sound of a rocket engine.

GWS usually stands for "Get well soon", but that's probably not the intention here.

i would like more of these, i laughed so much at some of the more absurd facts

6:45 sounds like a challenge to do them all at once

10:38 The Laka doesn't look sus, it looks like the strongest shape.

Here is some information that I noted whilst playing the Steam version of RCT1 Deluxe: Pokey Park, Rainbow Valley, Urban Park and Micro Park can be completed using only pre-designed roller coasters. This is because some of the user submitted designs are small enough to fit inside these parks. You can win the safest park award without having any rides. When a mechanic is repairing a ride, you can sometimes hear them using a hammer. If you drop a guest or staff member on a tile that is sloped so that half of it is underwater, they will land on the ground, but soon move into the water and drown. Ivory Towers has a lot of litter from food and drinks, but there are no stalls in the park that they could have been bought at. When you complete a scenario and the guests applaud, some of them clap for longer than others. Rides that suffer a station brakes failure can become perpetual motion machines if none of their trains collide. I saw this happen with the u(0401) Flying Roller Coaster, where multiple trains were going in a constant circuit but never crashed.

I have finally found the nerdiest corner of RU-vid. I am here for it, cheers Marcel!

I'd love to see what a park that meets every scenario requirement looks like! 6:53

5:48 - thank you Marcel for including this.

I cannot explain why or watched this, or why I was absolutely captivated the entire time. Thank you for the great content as always Marcel!

your detail around 7:06 makes me wonder: can you beat all of RCT2 simultaneously (using one map and all objectives applying to that one map)?

4:44 - That's a very good and useful fact. ^^

7:06 I want to see a single park meet all these goals at once

Sandstone Skyscraper Bottom Inverted Corner looks too intense for me.

"Doc are you writing this down!? This is _vital!"_

Was literally just wondering what i was gonna do for the next 10 minutes. What good timing this vid has

8:52 THE GIGGLE OH MY GOD

"The snowball scenery has a face on it" Yeah ok that is pretty useless information lol

I remember discovering the duck quack by accident 😂 You can also click floating balloons and they'll pop

Genuinely excited me to hear you say welcome again :)) I loved the giggles after you said you'll probably never answer for the "hundreds of thousands of guests" that you've "murdered" XD

Wow! So many things I knew, but had totally forgotten! I remember being so bothered that I couldn't build the grey pyramid.

this is the content i subscribed for thanks for the awesome RCT2 videos

Marcel Vos uploads the same day as Spirit of the Law AND it’s my day off?! The stars have aligned!

Definitely do more videos like this! It was a fun watch :D

Whoa watch it Marcel! 3:30 was almost useful information!

NGL a custom scenario that needs 40,600 guests, $3,260,000 park value, $23,000 ride income, $1,000 stall income and 40 coasters with a combined 260 excitement sounds like a great challenge for OpenRCT2

He included three murder confessions. What a madlad.

Great video! I love useless facts about RCT. I wonder how many bushes there are in all the scenarios combined...

I also noticed the egyptian pyramid has a hollow hitbox. I remember making a tunnel that enters the interior of the pyramid and have some stalls there

The second to last music track being Water Style enlightened me to a new dimension

Absolutely delightful 😁 Who knew that useless info could be so entertaining? Thanks Marcel! Edit to add: That Giga Coaster with nearly 100 Excitement would absolutely turn your hair permanently white... Just from WATCHING someone ride it.

5:50 I've watched enough anime to know where this is going...

Well done, Marcel! I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks!

"The SECOND last entry on the music list is..." You weren't kidding when you said these are random facts. LOL.

6:52 What a horrific stream that would turn into if you had to do it all at once. 😂

One cool thing about Rollercoaster Tycoon on the original Xbox that I miss so much when I started playing on PC is that it had a magnifying glass. You could see things closer through the magnifying glass icon, just like you would when observing ants. I wish it was added to the PC game in a patch!

RCT1 is my favorite game of all time, I've been playing for nearly 2 decades and I never realized the park fence had signs on them. I just thought it was part of the fence design...

My favourite part is the random facts meshed in about Marcel specifically. The "I just killed 32 guests on this coaster" between other facts got me. I think this was just an excuse for him to confess his crimes.

Thank you! That was indeed 10 minutes of useless RCT information! Very much enjoyed.

Nothing proves I'm here for the vibes more than watching this...

I used to think that the audio quirk of it overflowing and going to the lowest pitch was the Rollercoaster breaking the sound barrier, but the speed of the coaster is nowhere near how fast you would need to be going

Exactly the video I was looking for, thanks! ❤

It has been a pleasure watching you grow your channel Marcel. I remember when your computer broke and we all had to wait for content. I have been watching since day 1! Keep up the good work!

9:01 wow when i played this as a kid i thought it was an error, i never realized it was meant to be Chris Sawyer's initials.

7:08 It would be cool to see if you could get those stats in a single park now that the sprite cap has lifted!!

While you were scrolling through your list of custom scenarios, I saw there was one called Dragon Cavern, and searching for it led me to a site where you can download these scenarios, so this information was definitely not useless!

Another fun fact if you slow down to the effect of Vos' "Heheheheheheee" then you get this creepy vibe that will make you regret life itself.

I have never played RCT2. I have never owned any RCT game. I have no particular intention nor desire to play said games. Every video Marcel makes is 10 minutes of useless information about RCT2 Yet I clicked. Why am I addicted?

In the next video: Marcel builds a park, which full fills all requirements at 7:09
