Fun Facts

 * A land tile will hold 5 Guests.


 * The dimensions of each land tile is a rectangle 15.1 x 14.62 feet [23.9 square yards].


 * An RCT1 land plot (with the exception of the Micro Park scenario) has 116 x 125 tiles [dimensions are 1,757 x 1,783 feet or 71.9 acres].

Water
Water comes in several colors (Rct2 only). They include Natural (the normal blue), Acid Green, Green, and Orange (to simulate lava).

Fun Facts

 * Atari released a patch for RCT2 that gives the player the choice to use pink water (only in scenarios made with scenario editor, with pink water selected as the water type).


 * Water can only be placed on a flat surface, and must "fill" a hole at least one level deep. Open water rides (Boat Hire and Jet Skis), Lily, and Water Spouts can only be built on water. Large pools of water will attract migrating ducks. (Please note that in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, the water spout and the lily can be placed on dry land.)


 * Water can increase a ride's excitement, especially if guests' feet are allowed to come close to its surface.


 * Guests can not swim unless Amazing Earl's Swimming Pool is used. Otherwise, they will drown unless you save them with the pincers.

Theories

 * Water beside a path provides a cooling effect on guests, reducing the possibility of guests becoming nausea from the heat of a hot day.
