==Cheat Codes==
[[File:Simon.png|thumb|Simon Foster painting on an easel.]]In all ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' games, cheat codes are activated by renaming a guest/peep to a specific name. The effects will take place once the name is entered. This is done by clicking on the nametag icon in the Guest's window.
 
In ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon]]'' and ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]]'', youit cannotis havenot 2possible twofor multiple guests onto the map withhave the exact same name (e.g. 2 guests named "Chris Sawyer"), but youmultiple guests can work around this by having 2 guests withhave the same name butwith different capitalisation (e.g. 2 guests named "Chris Sawyer" and "chriS Sawyer" respectively).
 
''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 3]]'' allows several peeps to share the exact same name. In addition, through the Peep Designer, it is possible to activate multiple codes simultaneously or activate a single code multiple times simultaneously by creating custom peeps with the desired code(s) as their name.

==Other Quirks==
Line 80 ⟶ 208:
* Cars on tracked rides with a powered launch option that are launched off a straight track, or through an entrance and out an exit of a ride, and directly onto a straight section footpath will careen along the footpath without interacting with other objects along the path (i.e. guests and path items), exploding only when they stray off the footpath.
 
===RCT2/RCTC===
* RCT2 adds a variable price for scenery removal&mdash;scenery items that cost a fee to be removed (such as trees) will cost less if you remove them via right-clicking while a construction tool is active or via the bulldozer, and cost more if they are removed automatically when a track piece is placed on the same tile. However, the reverse is true for scenery items that give you money when they are removed&mdash;they give you less money when they are removed via right-clicking while a construction tool is active or via the bulldozer, and give more money if they are removed automatically when a track piece is placed on the same tile. There are several ways to exploit this quirk to gain money from ride construction, such as:
*# placing a large cluster of Base Blocks 3 tiles square and 9 units high, then building a 3x3 flat ride such as the [[Twist]] or the [[Merry-Go-Round]] on the same spot as the Base Blocks, which automatically clears the blocks for a good profit, followed by demolishing the ride you just built, which adds even more money into your coffers;
