I built 1000 rides in a 22x22 square (RCT2) 

There needs to be a mod where if there are too many entertainers, the guests say "this feels like a furry convention" and their happiness levels go in random directions.

His script writing is getting so good, both in terms of humor and how clearly he breaks down the game mechanics and scenarios, I'm always looking forward to the next video

"But I like death" That wasn't scripted Marcel. That was the collective Hive Mind of RCT2 players using you as a conduit.

My guess with the entertainers is, that they have issues leaving the corner, because of the entrances and exits of the rides on their left side. Seems to be the same pathing issues that you explained in the maze ride overview (or sth. similar) to trap people inside the ride.

I love that there's just wilderness around the park. Imagine you're hiking one day and you stumble upon the Amusement Cylinder in the middle of the woods. Nothing surrounding it. Just a massive block of scaffolding and Roto-Drops.

i love how this specific challenge allowed him to discover a glitch that probably no-one has ever seen before, and then figure out exactly what causes it, both times by accident.

quick trick with the entertainers, if you set their patrol area to a different area and manually drag them to different layers they will stay there... assuming that the patrol grid is split up to do so. also was not expecting that "furry convention" line 10/10

Imagine going to a theme park and there’s just 1000 mazes and coasters and rotodrops in a huge clump that you probably won’t be able to escape from after you go up more than 3 layers

marcel vos finding bugs in rct2 while doing something no sane person would do: the movie

I love how he always asks, "If anyone else can make this work, please let me know" as if someone else is going to get anywhere near attempting something even MORE ridiculous/awesome than what he just did. Great video as always!

"I would really like to know what makes that corner so great to be in." Well, obviously, what makes it so great is all the entertainers that are there!

7:07 I love how there's a bunch of puke on the path even though these rides barely move at all. Also, really interesting glitch with the roto drops. Never underestimate the power of those ghost pieces!

This is so funny. "The vehicles see the Top section, think it´s their own" "they get confused and confused and crash" Very nice.

That roto drop black magic is totally hillarious and this gamr keeps on giving after 20 years. Also the park is now a result of people building Tower of Babel but they recreation after building it

Imagine if this park existed in real-life, that somebody made a skyscraper out of the most boring rides imaginable repeated over and over again in a cramped and highly unstable wooden construction.

“If I wanted, I could just build them all first and then open them afterwards without any issues and without any death… …but I like death.” 9:56

"It's a damn furry convention" ~Marcel Vos 2022

4:04 i laughed way harder at that than i shouldve lol

5:29 what if entertainers have the same ai as old guests had in a maze. They pick a random direction and rotate clockwise if the direction is invalid

The roto drop part was fascinating! I love bug investigation stories like that.

"I hope you enjoyed the video as much as the entertainers enjoy this corner of the park" caught me off guard. Excellent video

Amazing stuff. ** I think I might have a solution in mind for ～1267 rides in a 21x21… (I use RCTC, and calculate height in arbitrary units) Layers 1-2 each contain 98 mazes - 4 rows of 20, 1 middle row of 18. this leaves a 3x3 square to create a "staircase" up to the next level. They are 4 units tall each. The 2 layers are built on height -6 and -2. Layers 3-11 each contains 53 looping coasters. They are 3 units tall each, except for final layer. The principle is to stack all the exits (3 units tall) on top of each other, and in alternating layers have the entrance (4 units tall) occupy the square that is otherwise left empty. This allows layers to be compressed from 4 units (height of entrance) to 3 units tall (height of exit). The 9 layers are built on height -2, 5, 8 ... 26. I leave the last layer 4 units tall. Layers 12-33 contains alternating layers of 28 + 26 roto drops. The principle is to build the entrance and exit around the central pole of each roto drop. This way, you can compress layers from 6 units (height of the pole) to 4 units (height of entrance). The 22 layers are built on height 30, 34, 38 ... 114. I've tried to illustrate the principles here: drive.google.com/file/d/1DQhTR24RQywLuy9bVp98POzYJr7vpl5U/view?usp=drivesdk ** I am left wondering whether we can "cheat" by having the maze exits face each other. Since mazes never break down, there's no need for a mechanic to have access to the exit. The peeps might blunder around until they eventually find a path again... (assuming they don't wander beyond the 21x21)

Roto-Drop ride: >Sees a ghost top section higher than it can achieve. Roto-Drop ride: "Why are we still here? Just to suffer?"

Always great content, Marcel! Thanks for always going to the absolute limits of RCT2!

"Kowloon City was nothing compared to this." That had me rolling. Good historical reference haha

"It's a damn furry convention" I never thought I hear you utter those words. oh my god! 😂😂😂 Disclaimer: if it wasn’t obvious enough, I am a furry with a scaly persona.

Almost sadistic torture not being able to use prebuilds after the first level! Exactly the sort of reason I friggin love Marcel's channel!!! Thanks for all the effort you put into these.

BUILD THE CUBE! Loving the ghost piece glitch, too. I wonder if that's the only case in the game where ghost pieces can have an effect? Also, if you were to actually build the top section of the upper tower, does that make the bottom tower last infinitely long? Wonder if it's possible to exploit that to get some really wacky ride stats, if you eventually delete the upper ride.

wait, so- if you build a complete roto-drop on top of a beheaded one- does that beheaded roto become a death ride?

If this was IRL, the government inspectors would have a _heck_ of a time checking the safety of the rides. And I'm sure the park maintainers applying for a job at that park would take one look and quit. 😅

So now that this video is out, the OpenRCT2 devs are going to have Shift to move prebuilds vertically implemented and the Roto-Drop bug fixed by next week, right?

I'd love to see another challenge like this where you try to see how many UNIQUE rides you can squeeze into a 22x22 park. :D

Maybe the cornerthing with the entertainers is similar to the lefthanded maze? Like some pathfinding bias, witch gets negated by doing full circles

Just a thaught. Do the entertainers have the same or nearly the same mechanics as people on a maze? I remember the difference between left sided and right sided mazes.

If I understand soft guest caps properly, that park has a theoretical soft guest cap of 63,520.

I think the reason the entertainers are in that corner is the pathing that you explained in the maze video

The rotodrop thing is super interesting. It's amazing that you set out to do something weird and dumb and end up discovering a new wrinkle in this game.

This is one of the weirdest challenges ever.. but it exposes interesting niche cases I'd never expect to be a factor!

Wow, I feel like the shift-level functionality needs to be added to OpenRCT2, crazy that it’s not there!

Imagine if this liminal nightmare existed in real life and you got to explore it by yourself at night.

8:36 The entertainers are there to distract the guests from people falling to their doom

10:03 " i could do it without death but i like death" ayo!...it shouldn't be surprising but you've been so mild this video up to that point i was caught off guard

The amount of new stuff that can be found out about this game is infinite. And our man is here to discover it. Terrific!

You've been awarded "Most Dangerous Park in the Universe".

also, it'd be interesting to know if that rotodrop bug occurs with only rotodrop top pieces or if you could use any of the tower rides' tops

Can't believe I'm still learning weird glitches in one of my favorite childhood games 20 years later. Extra credit to this video for how satisfying the editing and presentation was while explaining everything.

"It's a Goddamn Furry Convention". Gold Marcel, Fking Gold.

"i could just build them first and than open to prevent death. But i like death" Benevolent overlord of the tower of doom. Pretty interesting so now the space based challenge is on the table you suppose it'd be possible to make a full park (say 3 rides per type + food/drink WC stalls) in spacially constrained manner?

8:05 "maybe at some point we'll see it in action" right as the ride vehicle from below clips through the currently building tower, haha

My kind brain playing RCT2 would have never... ever... thought of something as mad as this and yet, I love it. That's pretty nuts!

1:51 Use shift to raise rides? Never knew that. Always rose ground level for that. Amazing!

It's amazing how many new things are still being discovered after all those years xD

Your comments about the entertainers around 4:00 made me almost die! So many great comments in this video! Probably the funniest video you've ever made!

if you put this much effort into robotics, we'd have terminators by now.

marcel your videos are the best on youtube. it doesn't matter if the video is just crashing or drowning guests, when i have a long or bad day there's nothing that cheers me up like a new marcel video. you da bes

Never do I miss your videos even though I no longer play the game. I learn so much from each of your videos and I am not talking about the game. The way you structure your story is awesome. And i appreciate the effort you put in each video.. Must be tiring to make unearth and then share each aspect of research, for eg finding out why roto drop was crashing and sharing that.. Many wouldn't have cared to find out

5:00 I wouldn't be surprised if they use the same code as the maze guests, making them turn right much more often than left, and making htem all end up in that corner.

Sounds like the Entertainers might have a pathfinding bug related to the maze pathfinding bug for guests.

That glitch is hilarious. Exactly the sort of stuff a developer would never be able to take into account when coding the rides.

"Guests must survive" aww....... Kidding, excellent work as always!!

1. I thought of Kowloon Walled City before you said it, and I'm glad you thought of the same joke! 2. Could you IMAGINE actually visiting this park??? I just found this channel and I absolutely love it. I grew up with RCT and ZT and I love seeing people push these games to their limit!

Shoutout to the guests who traveled all the way to the top layer to ride a roto drop that was available much lower

that corner is clearly the best because there are a lot of entertainers there, that's why a lot of entertainers go there

'I LOVE DEATH' - Marcel Vos, 2022

I think the reason why the entertainers all walk to one side is the same reason that the left-sided maze was impossible while guests would just walk through the right-sided one. Similar decision making algorithm for choosing which direction to go.

I'm beyond impressed that you figured out the exact cause of the roto drop crashes.

when you mentioned Kowloon walled city at 12:00 I was shocked because I was tabbed out for the last 10 minutes looking for scenery mods to make it a real goddamn thing

10/10 would watch rollercoaster man descend into madness again

i like how the paths are in a one sided (left or right) maze fasion and you're wondering why they're all stuck at one side

Wow! This really is getting next level. Can't wait for the next one.

You have so many crazy great ideas 🤩it's always a great suprise with what you come up next. Love your channel.

The mystery and explanation of that glitch was fantastic! So interesting and entertaining

The bit where you first talked about Roto Drops crashing had big Kilian Experience vibes

i think the entertainers are experiencing something that happens in Java Minecraft. Although its randomly generated, for some unknown reason 90% trees seem to point in one direction, this direction tends to be based on the world itself, but it always holds true. The remaining 10% could be indicated by how your park has multiple levels, most ended up on the bottom floor, while the remainder ended up on the 2nd and 3rd.

@Marcel Vos I have a prototype for a park with over 1200 rides in a 21x21 area. Overlapping roto-drops adds a lot. Also was able to compact the coasters vertically each by one unit by reversing every other layer so that you don't have to stack on top of entrances, which are a unit taller than exits. I can probably finish it by the weekend if you would be interested in seeing it. Of course you could just try yourself again I guess lol! Anyway, love the videos. I believe you could get over 1000 rides in a park less as small as 19x19, but I'm not 100% sure on that right now. It's very close.

For the entertainers, I assume that because they keep walking into the ride entrance and exits that they are suffering the left turn maze problem with their pathing. Guests can escape by getting on a ride whereas entertainers can't.

I suspect the entertainer thing was similar to the old eternal maze glitch where there's some kind of bias in the pathfinding

This is wild. Wonder if anyone else had discovered the top section glitch in the 20 years the game has been out.

Great job Marcel, proud of you. Keep it up!

I love how none of his videos are clickbait, even though every title seems impossible

Hope you never stop making videos. I love these.

"Hey Jim. What's your favorite ride so far?" "I like Death Maze #52. What about yours?" "Mine is Looping Roller Coaster #23. Anyway.. what rides do you want to try next?" "Let's try Roto drop #3! I heard it's more exciting than Roto drop #4."

This video only gets more and more cursed as it goes on and I love it

You could have fit an extra 2 layers of looping coasters by alternating their orientation, so that the empty slot between each set of entrance and exits per ride was always above the entrance from the ride below. Since the exit is much shorter, meaning the entrance building is the limit for your next layer, putting the entrances in the unused spots between coasters from the floor above, would make each layer thinner.

The real MVP of this video is Marcel's wrist.

that rotodrop vehicles sliding off was funniest shit i've seen today

Way more fascinating than I expected, and I had high expectations (pun not intended)!

the reason for entertainer to accumulate there, ist the same reason how mazes works

There should be a book about Marcel Vos's most epic quotes. "But on the other side it's a damn furry convention" "..and without any deaths. But I like deaths" 🤣 It is funny how the game cares about a maximum height for supports, totally ignoring that there is simply no room to put them anywhere and the rides are floating anyway.

Echt typisch nederlandse humor. Je bent echt geweldig man ga zo door!

- Builds amusement parks - Likes Death Hello Season 0 Seto Kaiba.

Something amazing and interesting as always, thank you Marcel! :)

thanks for the laughs and knowledge king been playing my whole life

Excellent, one of my favorite videos from you

So excited to see what you do for 100k subscribers

What about using an elevator with multiple stops throughout the park, instead of staircases? Maybe you can save some path that way, even if the guests will be stupid and not realize it's accessible

The roto drops gained sentience and became suicidal.

The entertainer corner might be explained with the same logic that explained the left-indented maze? They seem to behave quite similarly, walking into an entrance building and turning back around. Perhaps the entrance buildings are like "indents" to them?

I was thinking of a Kowloon Walled City joke, but then the madman actually made the joke himself

beautiful. exactly what i need in quarantine
