RCT2 - Ride overview - Giga coaster 

Correction: The reverse freefall coaster also does not have a support limit.

I played RCT casually as a kid and even a bit as a teen and throughout all those years I had no idea coaster types had stats or requirements. This is like stepping out of Plato's cave.

I especially like the parts where you change the color of the track to highlight the section you're talkin about

10:31 "Your park has received an award for being "The most disappointing park in the country" Don't these people understand modern art?

I think you've outdone yourself here - amazing video, thank you!

Looking at all those red G's and trains arriving station at high speed makes me cry

10:00 ''I want to get off Mr. Vos' wild ride!'' Great video!

The "Giga Coaster" is actually Intamin's name for their cable-lifted hypers like MIllenium Force and Intimidator 305, which is why it has that special element here. Those LSM "boosters" are actually used extensively in their Blitz designs, which _do_ feature inversions (Cheetah Hunt and especially Maverick are good examples of this). The triangluar track sections in the game were, until recently, shared between most Intamin designs. (If I don't miss my guess, the pneumatically-launched Accelerators will also have that track style.)

The Photo Booth is the most op thing to be honest. It’s a way to make a lot of extra bucks for a small investment on the track

Almost 20 minutes of RCT goodness. Amazingly good video marcel

I love when games inspire a community focused on aesthetics and another parallel community focused on technical stuff. Creates such diverse gameplay! RCT2 is a great game.

Giga Video for a Giga Coaster

Great videos, in England we pronounce the word "circuits" without emphasis on the "u", something like sir kit. Thanks for letting me reminisce about one of my favourite childhood games.

From a fellow Dutch man: Circuit in english is pronounced as "sir-kut"

Amazing, as is usual. Here is a challenge for you: do one on the Multi Dimensional coaster. Those things are super complicated to make

Shoutouts to the coaster at the end for somehow having an average speed of _-32194 km/h_

11/10 video. can't wait to put these designs to use. personally hoping to see that Giga Coaster 9207 design in the ZIP file too Protip: "circuit" is read as "sirkit"

Ah, the Giga Coaster. I have a strange love/dislike relation with this thing. I like how large you can make it, and that it's in my eyes the "Final Big Coaster" of your park. But the fact that it ends up fast makes it difficult for me to design it so it loses enough speed to enter station safely without the use of brakes. It's a personal preference, I know, but bad flashbacks of Brakes Failure. I also think this coaster is almost insultingly easy to get a good rating on. You actually have to go out of your way to get a bad rating. But again, weird personal preferences on my side. I suppose we might see Giga Coaster's awesome little brother, the Spiral Coaster soon? That's also a coaster that's very easy to get a great rating on and it also has a unique lift hill. Great video as always!

Almost 20 minutes long. Guys, I think Marcel may be a fan of the giga coaster.

It fills my heart with joy to see that this old beauty of a game is still getting so much love. Great video on the best coaster model of all times.

I haven't played an RCT game in years, yet these videos are just super interesting. Great video Marcel!

For real world comparison Giga Coasters really ARE much more exciting per amount of nausia and intensity. When I rode Millenium Force at Cedar point when it first opened I was amazed at how a coaster that barely roughs you up could be so exciting. This is always done though sheer speed, and this is one place where RTC2 clearly is realistic.

The quality of content you put out should make you proud. Well done.

These video's are amazing and the quality just keeps increasing and surprising me, keep them up Marcel!

2:30 I see that Goliath :D

One of the only issues I’ve encountered over the years with Gigas was occasionally the cable lift would fail and drop the train back into the station crashing the train (and killing up to 36 people)

“Lord varcel’s wild ride” And when you said “it’s not that useful but it’s cool” made me laugh really hard

10:27 Well Marcel, you've finally been humbled by the RCT message system!

I was already laughing at the coaster at 10:30, and then the park award had to pop up. Excellent addition to the video. Been really enjoying coming back to RCT after all these years, and your videos have all been great!

Found you in my recommended without any reason, but I watched the entire video. Thanks.

Everything you ever wanted to know about the Giga Coaster, but were too afraid to ask! - By Marcel Vos Seriously, this is an outstanding video sir, awesome work!

I can see why this one is your favorite. These are some amazing machines you've built.

The best ride overview so far, absolutely amazing, good luck topping this!

If you build a large steep slope up (or the 'smooth' steep up) right out of the station you can build a cable lift and it will work, but it takes up extra space and makes the cable lift take just a tad longer to get to the station. Another cool thing about the Giga Coaster is you can actually make it a strata-coaster (400+ feet tall). I built a design that is the 420 feet tall, the tallest you can build it in standard RCT2 (I don't have OpenRCT2). Your designs are awesome, btw! You're really good at making coasters!

Marcel will be talking about the technical aspects of roller coasters while in the background he's got man-made incomprehensible horrors going on.

Marcel: Mispronounces circuit and throughput. Me as a dutch guy: Did not even notice.

Marcel, Thank you for making such awesome videos i know this one took a long time but wow what a great video

Dude, thanks so much for making these. Very thorough, informative, scientific. And I get the feeling you're going out of your way to do this all in a language that isn't your mother tongue (quite well), and thanks for that too!

I have never seen an RCT2 video with a roller coaster type discussed so in depth. Mighty fine indeed

In real life, I really like cable lifts in rollercoasters. They feel much smoother and make way less noise. This makes the ride more pleasant than you might expect

One of my favorite custom coasters was a giga coaster on the extreme heights map. It went well over 100mph and had a first hill at least twice the normal / unaided limit, maybe even three times. People would go right back in line as soon as getting off, over and over again. I really wish I had that save file.

Whoa, this is fantastic! It's basically a video FAQ/walkthrough! Very helpful, yet entertaining!

Thank you for making videos with such high effort such as these!

A seventeen minute Christmas present :o I very much enjoyed this video, Marcel! Awesome stuff!

The Giga coaster is a new build for me, so of course I hade to come and check this video out before starting the build.

I want you to bite my ear and whisper “coaster”

Great video as always. I have usually shied away from the Gigacoaster due to how expensive it is. However, these designs are great and will encourage me to use it more.

This was a great video Marcel, keep up the good work.

Never understood how to use the chain hill correctly until now. Thanks!

Awesome video Marcel. Keep up the great work!

Wow thanks for this amazing video! I didn't know much about the giga coaster but I think I'll start using it more often!

It's always been my favourite coaster as it was so much fun to build.

A monster video for a monster coaster type. It's quite fitting. Good job on this one.

Awesome video Marcel. You should do your next one on the flying / lay-down coaster.

Ik kijk graag naar jouw video's, en ik heb geen last van jouw uitspraak want het klopt allemaal. Alleen hoor ik je in deze video iets zeggen over het aantal rondes. Dat spreek je uit als "sur-kits" :) Buiten dat, top video's en ik blijf ze kijken :)

I love the Giga Coasters in RCT 3. I do several giant hills with a few overbanked turns. I always get really high excitement and intensity. It’s expensive but I like sandbox 😜

Great video. I grew up playing RCT2 after getting it from a cereal box. I always end up playing it again over the years. Its one of the few games that i know of that have aged incredibly well. A lot of the information you provide i never knew about. Over all great video definitely be looking forward to more

That mobius is actually a really efficient use of space

I used to like to build a giga coaster with a long long loooongg flat cable lift that would take it off into the distance and into a mountain, where it would then ascend underground, and spit the people out at the top. It was even more fun to build that in RCT3!

Giga Coasters make AMAZING there and back coasters.

WHAT?! I Had no idea you could use a steep track on the cable lift! I mean, in retrospect I should've paid attention to the design of the pre-made track, Velocerator, but I always assumed that was some exploit the devs used that was off limits. Now that I know how to access it, I'm gonna use the hell out of it. And my next Giga Coaster design will be called Marcel Vos.

The mobius design blew my mind. I had no idea you could do that.

Never played this game I just love your commentary

This showed up in my recommended feed and I thought I was tripping when I saw "uploaded 2 days ago"

As always, a great video!

I like how those enormous custom non-scenario coasters have guaranteed puking.

"lord marcels wild ride" top kek!

10:33 design can have its throughput improved using block section mode and 2 trains. Then one can load while the other is moving.

Brilliant video, and extremely useful

My second favorite rollercoaster type! Giga always gets unbelievable stats... for a cost lol that moment a strata style Giga coaster costs more than your entire park value.

Steel Twister Coaster is my favorite. Especially in ORCT2 as it includes the Floorless and Stand-up Twister as train types, rather than individual attractions, so your build menu isn't as cluttered and you can use the large variety of special track pieces for all of them. Speaking of which, you haven't done a ride overview of the Steel Twister yet, have you? Also, can you do a ride overview of the Wooden Coaster? You did 5 useful designs, but I don't recall you going over the requirements and track pieces. I often end up with wooden coasters having 1.5 higher intensity rating than excitement rating. I wonder what the parameters are for optimal design.

Jouw woordenschat is ziek goed lekker man!

Imagine if Mercel designs all of the coasters in the world; it would be either a torture machine or extremely utilitarian...

My only complaint about the giga coaster is that you can’t have 90 degree drops. Would make it so useful to build coasters like Intimidator 305 or top thrill dragster

I sure enjoyed it. Thank you.

Even though i voted corkscrew coaster, i still enjoyed this video. Marcel bedankt!

Giga coaster sure looks best

Holy shit, jouw video's zijn echt *LIJP* gedetailleersd. Ik ga denk ik dat open RCT maar eens proberen, ik mis het in mijn leven hah

What a great video marcel! The time you took to make it really shows. Also, your pronunciation of circuit as "sir-QUEET" instead of "SIR-kit" got an unintended laugh out of me :) cant wait for the next one!

2:38 thats Walibi Holland! haha love it!

The last design is perfect for Extreme Heights actually 👏

I end up using the giga coaster as a blitz coaster. You link it up with the floorless or LIM coasters to get inversions and vertical drops.

I still play RCT for 17 Years now

Thank you Marcel.

The large level to steep and steep to level pieces are great at the top of the hill for drawing out that air time, BTW.

very informative liked subbed and obviously commented

*shows rollercoaster with over 300 excitement* *refuses to elaborate* *ends the video*

My guy casually throws up a 327 excitement coaster as b-roll and doesn't even bother to mention it.

can you do the twister coaster next nevermind do the spiral coaster next also, thats one wild ride you got there marcel.

So there is a long term increase in value to represent nostalgic importance it seems. That's a good metric to have in place.

The only thing I don’t like about this video is “cirquité”. Lol great video Marcel

I love your videos

Thanks for the video :)

Wow this is something else

this is like the RCT2 version of watching a sciCraft video

you spoil us, marcel vos

I’ve always loved the giga

These are so cool. I want to see Mobius and Racing GigaCoasters.

this is insane, great vid. those ride overviews will definitely help a lot, even though i intend to make my custom (bad) designs, the examples help me understand what i need to make them have good stats. that said, for scenario play, which number of excitement should i aim for in my rides? is there a certain value where "anything greater than x is unnecessary"? once again thx for your vids
