Climate

Climate is the general weather pattern within a scenario in Roller Coaster Tycoon. Climate determaines how hot or cold, and how wet or dry the scenario's weather will be. Climate can affect a scenario's success, and should not be taken lightly.

Original Scenarios
The original scenario's in Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 introduces 3 climates: Warm, Cool and Wet, and Hot and Dry.

Warm
The "Warm" climate is the most common amounst the 22  original scenarios. The Warm climate features confortable tempetures, and moderate rainfall. The starting tempeture for a scenario using the Warm climate is 62F (17C). The Warm climate made it's first appearance in the "Forest Frontiers" scenario, and is used in 13 of the 22 original scenarios.

Cool and Wet
The "Cool and Wet" climate is the next most common climate.It features more rainfall, and cooler tempetures than the Warm climate. The starting tempeture for a scenario using the Cool and Wet climate is 55F (13C). This climate can sometimes hurt a park's success due to some guests refusing to ride outdoor rides while it is raining. It is sugguested while playing in a park that has the Cool and Wet climate, to try to build more indoor rides outdoors, and to build custom rides at least 40% underground(that way they count as an indoor ride so guests will go on them in the rain). The Cool and Wet climate made it's first appearance in the "Katie's World" scenario, and is used in 5 of the 22 original scenarios.

Hot and Dry
The "Hot and Dry" climate is the least common climate. It features less rainfall, and hotter tempeture's than the other two climates. The starting tempeture for a scenario using the Hot and Dry climate is 62F (17C). It is sugguested while playing in a park that has the Hot and Dry climate, try to build more water rides, as guests want to ride water rides even more than usual. The Hot and Dry climate made it's first appearance in the "Dynamite Dunes" scenario. It only appears 3 times in the original game, all of which are the desert themed parks.
