Go Karts
The Go Karts are a thrill ride comprised of racecars that people can drive and race with.
Construction
Tarmac with barriers on either side.
Constraints
- Maximum Track Slope: 25 degrees
- Maximum Height Above Ground: 29 ft.
Hints and Tips
The length of station platform determines the number of cars that can race, so make sure to have a long station platform or a short track with few laps. However, in RCT1, there is a limit of 12 cars, and a limit of 20 in RCT3, so keep the number of station tiles around seven, or else, in a longer station, the cars will be unnecessarily slowed.
Go karts start off with a basic excitement of 1.x. Having the track interfere with itself and other rides, particularly roller coasters, will dramatically up the excitement rating to 5 or 6 or more.
Version Differences
In RCT1, the guests have to wear a helmet when they are sitting on the karts. This is removed in RCT2 and RCT3. In RCT3, players can build a bigger curve track (requires 2x2 tiles) on the Go-Karts.
