Guests and Staff: Difference between revisions

The whole purpose of Roller Coaster Tycoon is to cause pleasure by satisfying the simple desires of your tiny "guests". Each guest looks like a young adult male wearing a randomly colored shirt and pants. His machine given name is a consecutive number based on his appearance order on the entrance path to your amusement park. Each guest is also randomly endowed with a fixed Intensity Preference, Nausea Susceptibility rating, and wad of money, which helps to make each guest a unique individual. Guests are not invulnerable, and will die if they fall in water or are caught in a ride accident (drowning guests can be saved if you react quick enough with the "pincers"). Although the game limits the number of guests that you can have in a park, a poorly designed park with attractions too close together will still cause the guests to complain about crowding.

 

Guests can also carry non-consumable items such as maps, photographs, umbrellas, hats, etc.. With the exception of [[Balloons]], guest will never lose a non-consumable item. Guests can only carry one item of each type (when presented with the opportunity to acquire more they will often make a comment about already having one). If a shop can color an item, then the guest who acquires the item from that shop will be seen carrying an item of that specific color.

 

You can change the name of a guest to something other than the default name assigned by the game. 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:

 

'''[[Chris Sawyer]]''': Frequently stops and takes flash photographs

'''[[Simon Foster]]''': Frequently stops and paints pictures.

 

 

'''Handymen'''

 

The Bandit costume makes the entertainer wearing it do something highly humourus. First, he stands still and moves his head left, then right. He then looks down and moves one of his hands to his pocket, and pretends to pull the trigger to a nonexistent "gun". Nothing happens. Assuming it fell out, the entertainer shakes the pocket with his foot. Suddenly, a white line appears for a split second from his pocket to his foot. He then jumps up and down, as if he "shot" his foot! (RCT2 ONLY)

 

 

'''Park Inspector''': He is a senior citizen who will inspect all rides, shops, and vista. He even rides rides!

 

 

 

* Check rides: He rides them for unknown reasons. Check this to allow him to perform this task.

* Check shops: This allows the Park Inspector to check shops and tell you their price. However, there is a gimmick! He will also tell you if the shop matches scenery and will complain until you fix it! (UGH!)

* Check Vista: He will evaluate scenery at Photographic Spots, and tell you whether the guests, or "peeps", like or dislike it.
