The ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' games have several '''cheats and quirks'''. Most of these can be exploited by the player to give them an unfair advantage in gameplay. |
|||
<div style="background-color:yellow; color: black; text-align:center;">It has been reported that many of these codes do not work. If you check a code, and it does not work, please remove it from this page. Refer to the talk page for codes that were already confirmed.</div> |

__TOC__ |
|||
==Cheat Codes== |
|||
In RollerCoaster Tycoon, cheats are inputted by naming a guest to something other than the default name assigned by the game. The effects will occur immediately following the renaming. |
|||
[[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]]'', it is not possible for multiple guests to have the exact same name (e.g. 2 guests named "Chris Sawyer"), but multiple guests can have the same name with different capitalisation (e.g. 2 guests named "Chris Sawyer" and "chriS Sawyer" respectively). |
|||
The limitation is that you can not name two guests with the exact same name (However, please note that you can change the capitilization of the code to use it on multiple guests, such as Mr Bean and MR Bean). The game also includes "easter eggs" which are activated when you rename a guest as one of the following: |
|||
''[[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== |
|||
*'''Michael Schumacher''' - Rides the Go Karts four times as fast |
|||
In addition to cheat codes, all ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' games have other unusual quirks or loopholes that can be exploited to your advantage and/or for your amusement. |
|||
===RCT1 and RCT2/RCTC=== |
|||
*'''[[Melanie Warn]]''' - Makes the guest happy, energetic and removes nausea |
|||
* In a scenario where guests pay for rides, when a guest enters the queue for a ride, they will not leave the queue unless the ride is closed or they have spent 9-11 minutes waiting in line. You can therefore repeatedly adjust the admission fee of the ride such that it is "Free", which causes many guests to enter the ride's queue, then set the admission fee to a very high amount when guests are boarding the ride. This will cause guests about to board the ride to pay a huge amount of cash (assuming they still have enough cash to pay for it). This exploit is more effective on rides with high guest capacities, such as roller coasters. |
|||
* Staff that are employed for less than 7 days in-game are not paid a portion of their monthly salaries and therefore work for free during this period, so you can hire staff to immediately fix problems in your park and then sack them immediately after they have fixed the problem without having to pay them for their services. The logical extreme of this exploit is that you don't need to pay a single cent for handymen and mechanics if you only hire them whenever you need one, but otherwise have an empty staff list. |
|||
* If your scenario objective is to have a certain number of guests in your park by the end of a certain year, you only need a few additional guests in your park, and you only have a few days left before the deadline, you can block the park exits with No-Entry signs or by removing the path tile right after the park entrances. While your park rating will start to drop once you do this, this exploit will keep guests intending to leave the park around for a slightly longer period of time, hopefully for a long enough time for the deadline to pass without your park rating dropping below the objective. |
|||
* 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=== |
|||
*'''[[Simon Foster]]''' - Paints the landscapes in your park |
|||
* RCT2 adds a variable price for scenery removal—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—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; |
|||
*# placing a Base Block cluster 3 tiles wide, 4 tiles long and 40 units high, then building 3 [[Ferris Wheel]]s on same same spot as the cluster and adjacent to each other, which nets you a profit for constructing them due to the Base Blocks being automatically demolished, followed by demolishing the Ferris Wheels you just built, which also nets you a profit for demolishing them; |
|||
*# placing a line of Fountains, building a track type with high placement cost through the line of Fountains (which generates profit from the game automatically demolishing the Fountains), then demolishing the track you just built (which generates even more profit); |
|||
*# building a tower ride such as the [[Launched Freefall]] with the shortest safe height, stacking about 70 Base Blocks directly above the ride's tower section, testing and saving the ride with the Base Blacks placed directly above it as included scenery, and building this saved design in any scenario that has this ride type available and expanding the tower through the Base Blocks (which generates a profit from their automatic demolition) before optionally demolishing the tower (which also generates a profit) |
|||
===RCT3=== |
|||
*'''Mr Bean''' - Rides superslow on the Go Karts! |
|||
* You can build above the mesas at the back of the park in [[Broom Lake]] (where the cliffside buildings are) as well as within the canyon in [[Ghost Town (RCT3)|Ghost Town]], even though you do not own the construction rights for either region. |
|||
* You can demolish the cliffside building sections at the back of the park in [[Broom Lake]] that do not intersect the ground for a bit of extra cash. |
|||
* Despite being built outside the park boundaries and not being a ride designed for the purposes of carrying peeps or making money through ride admissions, the Grande Western Train Line in [[Gunslinger]] can still be controlled by you, and thus made to simulate a shuttle service from beyond the map edge for added realism, crashed for your amusement, or demolished for extra cash. |
|||
==See Also== |
|||
* [[Hints and Tips]] |
|||
You can not have the same name twice in your park, but you can capitalize some of the letters so it will work. |
|||
For example, instead of "Chris Sawyer", another possible name could be "CHRIS Sawyer". |
|||
===Miscellaneous Cheats (RollerCoaster Tycoon 2)=== |
|||
''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]]'' has a feature where the game will automatically clear some scenery when a ride is being constructed. For example, if a ride is being placed on terrain occupied by trees, the ride can be placed without manually removing the trees. This feature isn't perfect, however, as the cost of automatically removing such items (trees, bushes, shrubs) is much higher than manually removing them. However some items, notably Base Blocks, when automatically removed by placing a ride, return more money than it cost to place them. Therefore, a player can exploit this game glitch by placing a large cluster of Base Blocks and then placing a ride where the blocks sit; the auto-clear feature will then sell those blocks, sometimes for a substantial profit. It works best by using a car ride or junior coaster. |
|||
''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]]'' also has a cheat involving the looping roller coaster. By building the regular station by itself (no other track pieces included), a stretch of pathway in a straight line after the station, and setting the ride to launch at max speed you'll be able to make the train roll on no track without crashing. The train will coast at a very slow speed and will then crash once the pathway ends. If you place benches, trash cans, and lamps along the pathway they will be destroyed by the passing train. No guests will be injured by the train, as long as they aren't riding it... |
|||
==RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Cheats== |
|||
=== Base Game- === |
|||
*'''Isambard Kingdom Brunel''' - Fully trains all staff (Costs you nothing but the wages of all staff will be rised to maximum) |
|||
*'''FPS''' - Displays a Frames Per Second counter. |

*'''David Braben''' - Disable the Lift Chain Speed & Launch Speed limits. Normally, you are not permitted over a set speed limit. Usage: Select a coaster. Select "Operating Mode". You must have "Powered Launch" selected to alter the Launch Speed. |
|||
*'''Andrew Gillett''' - Unknown effect (On the first Career mission, this code will double the value rating of your park - which will complete your first mission objective. On other tested missions, it seems to possibly cause a slight increase in park value too.) |
|||
*'''John D Rockefeller''' - Increase your money by $10,000 |
|||
*'''Chris Sawyer''' - Cheer (Lp) - All guests applaud you & Jump into the air |
|||

|||
*'''Guido Fawkes'''- Enables the "Advanced firework editor". Usage: Scenery -> Firework Mixmaster -> Fireworks Displays -> Add firework display -> Advanced firework editor. |
|||
*'''Atari''' - Cheer (Fade) - All guests applaud you |
|||

|||
*'''A Hitchcock''' - Hitchcock - lots of ducks appear. |
|||
*'''PhotoStory''' - Peeps take photos. |
|||
*'''ATITech''' - Every Person (both guests & staff) move super fast, though the game time passes at normal speed (rides & coasters do not speed up; expires after 20 seconds) |
|||
*'''Make Me Sick''' - All guests become Sick and vomit immediately (Repeat it to make the park insanely dirty; watch those handymen run) |
|||
*'''John Wardley''' - No Coaster Height Limit (ride & coaster tracks can be built without height limitations) |
|||
*'''Frontier''' - Unbreakable (Buildings/Rides/Coasters do not break down any longer) |
|||
*'''Jon Roach''' - Ride All Rides (make all guests ride every parkride before leaving the park) or, it may just make guests ignore their nausea rating |
|||
*'''Sam Denney''' - Ride All Coasters (make all guests ride every park coaster before leaving the park) or, it may just make guests ignore their nausea rating |
|||
*'''Atomic''' - Causes "nuke" shock-waves on coaster crashes. |
|||
*'''Elissa White''': Whenever she enters a queue for a Giga Coaster or Impulse Coaster, she says, "I'm so excited - it's an Intamin ride!" |
|||
Scenario specific cheat/glitch |
|||
In the mesas in the back of the park in Broom Lake (The ones with the steel wall structures on them) as well as the large canyon in Ghost Town despite the fact that you don't own this land and cannot purchase it, nor can you purchase construction rights for it, the land acts like it is part of your park including the ability to delete sections of the buildings on the land in Broom Lake and being able to fill the canyon with water in Ghost Town. Oh, and you can build rides, paths, stalls etc. on them. Please add if this occurs in any other scenarios. |
|||
(Some of the cheats may only work when patched.) |
|||
=== Soaked === |
|||
*'''M Brookes''' - Enables you can place wall pieces and other scenery items on the edge of path tiles. |
|||
*'''Alistair Lindsay''' - Alters the speed at which some sound effects are played at pause, fast and fastest. |
|||
*'''Rick Griffiths''' - Changes the inside of a tunnel from rubble to sharks on both sides, the ceiling and the floor. |
|||
*'''Mornington Crescent''' - This allows building shops etc underground (use SHIFT to lower an object's position until it is say, level with an underground path). |
|||
*'''David Walsh''' - This allows you to turn on or off the visibility of the user interface (ie all the icons, menus etc) using CTRL-U once the cheat is active. This is great for taking [[screenshot]]s. Press CTRL-U to turn on visibility again. |
|||
=== Wild === |
|||
*'''Rabbit''' - Animals constantly breed. |
|||
*'''Alvin Swazonegger''' - Allows large billboard movies. |

The RollerCoaster Tycoon games have several cheats and quirks. Most of these can be exploited by the player to give them an unfair advantage in gameplay.
Cheat Codes
![](http://static.miraheze.org/rctwiki/9/90/Simon.png)
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, it is not possible for multiple guests to have the exact same name (e.g. 2 guests named "Chris Sawyer"), but multiple guests can have the same name with 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.
RCT1
Name | Action(s) |
---|---|
Andy Hine | Comments "Nice ride! But not as nice as the Phoenix..." after leaving a roller coaster |
Chris Sawyer | Takes pictures frequently while navigating the park |
Damon Hill |
Rides all Go Karts twice as fast. |
David Ellis | Thinks "...and here we are on <ride name>!" on a roller coaster train that is leaving the station. |
Emma Garrell | Turns the shirt colour of all guests within a tile's range to purple. |
Felicity Anderson | Causes all guests within a tile's range to continuously throw up. |
Jacques Villeneuve | Rides all Go Karts three times as fast. |
John Wardley | Thinks "Wow!" often. |
Katie Brayshaw | Waves at guests occasionally. |
Katie Smith | Jumps occasionally. |
Lisa Stirling | Litterbug; continuously drops litter. |
Melanie Warn | Sets the guest's Happiness and Energy to maximum and reduces their Nausea to zero upon renaming |
Michael Schumacher | Rides all Go Karts four times as fast |
Mr Bean | Rides all Go Karts at 3 km/h (1 mph) |
Nancy Stillwagon | Causes all guests within a tile's range to have an ice-cream. |
Simon Foster | Often stops to set up an easel and paint. |
RCT2/RCTC
In addition to the following codes, all codes from RCT1 will still work.
Name | Action(s) |
---|---|
Elissa White | Thinks "Brilliant...it's an Intamin Ride." when riding any ride made by Intamin (Giga Coaster, Inverted Impulse Coaster, etc.) |
Katie Rodger | Wants to leave the park. |
Carol Young | Reduces the Happiness of the renamed guest. |
Donald Macrae | Thinks "I'm lost!" often. |
RCT3
Base Game
Name | Action(s) |
---|---|
A Hitchcock | Creates many flying ducks. |
Andrew Gillett | Sets track friction to 0, which completely prevents vehicles on most tracked rides from gradually losing speed over time. |
Andrew Thomas | Decreases track friction, which reduces the amount of speed that vehicles on most tracked rides lose over time. |
Atari | Peeps applaud you. In RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition, the peep must be renamed to "Atari", then have their name deleted entirely, in order for this cheat to take effect. |
ATITech | All peeps, staff and animals move very fast for twenty seconds; in-game clock stays at a normal speed. |
Chris Sawyer | Peeps applaud and jump into the air. |
D Lean | Opens the Flying Camera routes editor (this editor is also accessible by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + 0 without activating the code).

Elissa White | A female adult peep renamed to this will say "I'm so excited - it's an Intamin ride!" whenever she enters a queue for a Giga Coaster or Impulse Coaster. |
FPS | Displays a counter at the top left corner of the screen showing the frames per second. |
Frontier | Disables ride breakdowns. |
Ghost Town | Stops the creation of peeps entering the park. This cheat is irreversible and can only be disabled by restarting the game. |
Guido Fawkes | Enables the Advanced Fireworks Editor in the fireworks menu. |
Isambard Kingdom Brunel | Fully trains all existing staff for $1,000, and any staff hired after this cheat is activated will be fully trained automatically for the total amount normally required ($350). |
James Hunt | Spawns a dune buggy somewhere on the map within the player's current view. Double-clicking the buggy switches to a CoasterCam view of the buggy, during which it can be driven around by the player using the arrow keys. The buggy can be deleted by right-clicking on it when any construction or landscaping tool is active. |

Other Quirks
In addition to cheat codes, all RollerCoaster Tycoon games have other unusual quirks or loopholes that can be exploited to your advantage and/or for your amusement.
RCT1 and RCT2/RCTC
- In a scenario where guests pay for rides, when a guest enters the queue for a ride, they will not leave the queue unless the ride is closed or they have spent 9-11 minutes waiting in line. You can therefore repeatedly adjust the admission fee of the ride such that it is "Free", which causes many guests to enter the ride's queue, then set the admission fee to a very high amount when guests are boarding the ride. This will cause guests about to board the ride to pay a huge amount of cash (assuming they still have enough cash to pay for it). This exploit is more effective on rides with high guest capacities, such as roller coasters.
- Staff that are employed for less than 7 days in-game are not paid a portion of their monthly salaries and therefore work for free during this period, so you can hire staff to immediately fix problems in your park and then sack them immediately after they have fixed the problem without having to pay them for their services. The logical extreme of this exploit is that you don't need to pay a single cent for handymen and mechanics if you only hire them whenever you need one, but otherwise have an empty staff list.
- If your scenario objective is to have a certain number of guests in your park by the end of a certain year, you only need a few additional guests in your park, and you only have a few days left before the deadline, you can block the park exits with No-Entry signs or by removing the path tile right after the park entrances. While your park rating will start to drop once you do this, this exploit will keep guests intending to leave the park around for a slightly longer period of time, hopefully for a long enough time for the deadline to pass without your park rating dropping below the objective.
- 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—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—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;
- placing a Base Block cluster 3 tiles wide, 4 tiles long and 40 units high, then building 3 Ferris Wheels on same same spot as the cluster and adjacent to each other, which nets you a profit for constructing them due to the Base Blocks being automatically demolished, followed by demolishing the Ferris Wheels you just built, which also nets you a profit for demolishing them;
- placing a line of Fountains, building a track type with high placement cost through the line of Fountains (which generates profit from the game automatically demolishing the Fountains), then demolishing the track you just built (which generates even more profit);
- building a tower ride such as the Launched Freefall with the shortest safe height, stacking about 70 Base Blocks directly above the ride's tower section, testing and saving the ride with the Base Blacks placed directly above it as included scenery, and building this saved design in any scenario that has this ride type available and expanding the tower through the Base Blocks (which generates a profit from their automatic demolition) before optionally demolishing the tower (which also generates a profit)
RCT3
- You can build above the mesas at the back of the park in Broom Lake (where the cliffside buildings are) as well as within the canyon in Ghost Town, even though you do not own the construction rights for either region.
- You can demolish the cliffside building sections at the back of the park in Broom Lake that do not intersect the ground for a bit of extra cash.
- Despite being built outside the park boundaries and not being a ride designed for the purposes of carrying peeps or making money through ride admissions, the Grande Western Train Line in Gunslinger can still be controlled by you, and thus made to simulate a shuttle service from beyond the map edge for added realism, crashed for your amusement, or demolished for extra cash.
