On-ride photo

Several tracked rides in RollerCoaster Tycoon support on-ride photo segments. This is a special track segment consisting of a piece of straight track and a photo installation, which takes photos of riders as they pass through it. These photos can be bought when the guests leave the ride, allowing for a bit of extra profit.

History

 * RollerCoaster Tycoon (1) supported building on-ride photos on several roller coaster types, like the Wooden Roller Coaster, Looping Roller Coaster and Corkscrew Roller Coaster.
 * RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 supports the segments on all rides that RCT1 supported, as well as on several water rides, like the Log Flume and River Rapids.
 * OpenRCT2 supports the segments on all rides that RCT2 supported, as well as on the Mini Roller Coaster, Bobsleigh Coaster and Splash Boats.

Limitations and bugs

 * Only one on-ride photo segment can be built per ride
 * The on-ride photo segment cannot be built underground, except in OpenRCT2.
 * The location of the segment has no effect at all - in fact, people will even buy on-ride photos if they didn't pass through it at all! (Easily verifiable when having separate exit and entrance stations and building one in between.)
 * RCT2 has a bug where it will reset the on-ride photo price if the player has checked 'Same price throughout'. This is caused by the fact that RCT2 has four different types of on-ride photo, making it possible for guests to buy more than one. A workaround is to temporarily check the box when changing the price, then unchecking it again. This bug is fixed in OpenRCT2.
