Other Information

Observation Towers have lower excitement ratings, unless they are built to very tall heights and have a lot of scenery around them. They make a good alternative to outdoor rides and guests will flock to them in the rain. A good strategy therefore could be to add a few of them, kept closed until rain starts pouring.

Trivia

  • RCT1' strategy guide lists it debuting in Added Attractions, it actually was present in the vanilla game.
  • In RCT3, if the ride is started without any ending part (just the station), it will fly off and crash after a while.
