Kiddie Rides Made Easy - no shoe string required - OpenRCT2 Tutorials 

Your videos are genuinely such a huge help for me. I lost my ability to ‘think’ of images and interpret shapes after a long series of TBIs. I used to be an artist but disability stole my old career from me. Last year I started exploring park building games as a replacement for a creative outlet but I just can’t look at these pieces and have any concept of what they would look like with any other setting, angle, color, pieces, etc. besides what I’m looking at right in front of me. I can look at the same shape at two different angles side by side and literally have no idea if they even are the same shape or not-which makes even looking up still references and trying to match the different elements to pieces I can build with _while the list is right in front of me_ impossible. I need to see things actually put together piece by piece in front of me to understand how they go together. Having a base to work off that’s actually explained which piece goes exactly where is so helpful for me to be able to then change one thing, or add one thing, see what it looks like, and then keep changing things and expanding until I have something totally different that I never would have known where to start on before. I don’t have the ability to put ‘round track’>’horse cars’>’invisible track’>’horses going around a circle’ together in my head on my own anymore. It’s really stupid and hard to explain. I’m not looking to make full scale original, innovative parks to share online or win competitions. I just like the satisfaction of putting things together in my own time and turning them into something that I like to look at, for me, and your videos have been the most helpful out of anyone’s to let me access that experience. In the end it’s just a game that’s barely younger than most of us are, but since I became disabled I really don’t have anything left in my life so even the smallest _things to do_ make the biggest impact in my day, my week, my month… It’s just been so impossible to find anything I actually CAN do and the way you explain things slowly and show every step is the one way that building and creating and even gaming have become accessible to me again. Please never underestimate how helpful even these ‘simple’ guides can be for people. If you have a Kofi or tip jar of any sort I’d love to buy you a coffee sometime. Thank you so much for everything you do!

These look cool, and the stat issue isn't too much of a stat issue with kiddie rides ... much better chance to have more themed rides, for a special area! Excellent!

This is such a brilliant design! Thank you for teaching this in such an easy way!

Nice!! Will def do a couple of kiddy rides in my megapark :D

Made my first attempt at one of these today, but of course I had to make things more difficult for myself. Decided to make a pirate ride using the Amazing Earl's Peter Pan Pirate Ships. Of course, they are made to use on a suspended track, and hang under the track, so I had to build my track two spaces above the ground, then use the tile editor to lower the entrance and exit to ground level and force them to be usable. Also, those vehicles are not meant to use in a train, so I also had to adjust the spacing to make them work. Come out pretty decent though. Stats were like 1.98, which means I could only charge $1.50 for it, but that's probably fine for a kiddie ride. For things like this, the one thing I wish RU-vid would allow was pictures in comments. Oh well.

I like the Kittens Version of the Kiddie Ride. So adorable.

LOVED this. Thank you :)

Great tutorial overall!!!! I'm going to try this soon in a park I'm building in OpenRCT2.

Having had these fail to ever be openable on me twice now, I'm including a word of warning on this design, while noting you'll be absolutely fine if you follow the instructions exactly. However, problems can come up if you take the idea and expand on some of your own thoughts. If you do different numbers of vehicles (perhaps because your vehicles are small enough or large enough that your trains become too short or don't fit together, there has to be enough room between the back of the last car and the front of the first car because if the first car reenters one end of the station before the last car leaves it, then the game thinks it has never left the station, so never starts counting the number of circuits. So now I have to tighten up my cars a bit so they can register. Just something to be aware of if your start building new versions of your own.

Does anyone else not have a number of circuits option for powered launch Mine Ride with Horses? Mine are just lining up, launching one at a time for about a second, and then stopping again. 🤷
