Line 6:
A normal guest is the average person to go into your park.
 
In ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon]]'', they all look like brown-haired male guests whose basic "names" are '''Guest #''', with the '''#''' being the number of the guest who has crossed the beginning of the path to the entrance (spawn point). In the expansion packs, an option on the Options menu lets one change their names so they can have "realistic" names (Bob H., Marie Q. etc.). They also have different ride tolerance and can have different thoughts/moods depending on their surrounding environment.
 
In ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]]'', the "real" names option inherited from the RCT1 expansions is enabled by default. The guests themselves are basically the equivalent to their predecessors in terms of looks, acts and behavior. However, their intelligence has been somewhat fixed, as one can build paths twice as wide without the guests getting lost. They also actively seek objects like stalls, toilets and the park exit according to their needs instead of wandering around. A guest logic has been coded in RCT2, which enables them to watch ongoing or mid-construction rides.
Line 14:
In all three incarnations, guests have moods, thoughts and can be attracted to/leave your park depending on certain awards, the overall environment and the variety of rides.
 
==='''[[Cheat Codes|Special/Cheat Guest]]'''===
In the RCT series, naming guests certain names will give them certain characteristics that makes them special and stand out against the usual crowd. For example, naming a guest "BigBucks" will make this guest have infinite money, and naming a guest "Tony Day" will make him become hungry faster and more often than usual guests. Some names can change guests actions and their attitude. If you name a guest "Melanie Warn," that guest will instantly become happy, which can come in handy for angry peeps and vandals. Naming a guest "Katie Brayshaw" will make this guest stop and wave to others often when they meet, making guests become slightly happier. Guests can have multiples of the same name, from changing lower cased to uppercased, and vice versa, meaning you can have several cheat guests.
 
==='''[[VIP|Celebrities/VIP Guests]]'''===
 
In [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 3]], [[VIP|celebrities]] occasionally appear in your park as part of a scenario objective. They need to be directed to a certain ride with a minimum statistic, specified in the list of scenario objectives.
 
The player can create waypoints for the celebrity to follow, although they don't always adhere to your will. Celebrities usually are followed by a horde of fans, which will pester him/her for autographs. If they are harassed enough, the celebrity will become unhappy and leave the park. Certain celebrities have low rubbish or breakdown tolerance which can cause them to leave the park also.
