:Thanks - will do. Sadly I seem to have lost my Excel spreadsheet where I had put all the ride stats. I will need to recompile it if I can't find it in an old backup. In the mean time I will also continue filling in scenario pages. [[User:Bork Blatt|Bork Blatt]] ([[User talk:Bork Blatt|talk]]) 19:15, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

I noticed that RCT2 expansion scenarios are - well - blank pages. Do we have any scenario strategies among our many users for those?

Also, I've started noting RCT3 remakes of scenarios; all of the main RCT ones are remade as well as link titlea good chunk of RCT expansions and the entire main RCT2 scenario list. I think it's good to highlight that these exist. So far, Forest Frontiers and Dynamite Dunes have been noted. CycloneGU 00:09, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

The scenario pages for RCT2 and RCT3 are a mess to be honest :(. I think this RCT in 3D website should be noted, but not on every single page, rather a single page entirely for the website.Lachlan5963 19:16, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
If I find the time, I'll start working on the RCT2 scenario pages soon, but don't expect too much for the next two months, exams are coming up... --Hadesengel 13:50, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
How would you propose doing that? I do agree that adding it to every single page seems somewhat messy and was considering removing the Dynamite Dunes addition of mine, but leaving the Forest Frontiers entry. In addition, a general mention somewhere. Haven't figured out the best way to go about it yet. CycloneGU 19:21, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
I think we could note it on the RollerCoaster Tycoon page - I'm actually thinking a page for every fansite is a bit much, I might merge them all in to a single page.Lachlan5963 14:59, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
Do we presently have fan sites with dedicated articles? I agree, that is excessive. I was thinking for this case we can leave the Forest Frontiers entry (noting how the scenario was made into a much more difficult version) and have an entry somewhere else that refers to it as well. I didn't mean its own article, though it's been around long enough that it could probably merit one...but I don't think fansites should have articles. The RCT2 User Created Expansion Set is a rare exception. CycloneGU 00:35, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
There is a main article (RollerCoaster Tycoon Fansites), Although this is just a list. Any info about fan-sites can be put in a header on here though.Lachlan5963 17:55, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

Hey guys, it's been a while, but I'm Matt 20 1 and I used to be active here (I was one of the first to get this baby going). I've been inactive for a while, but I'm back to help! Is there anything you want me to do in particular? Are we concentrating on a particular area or whatever? Cheers, --Matt 20 1 03:03, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Hey thanks for coming back... as you can Probally tell, I changed a few things when I came admin (like the MonoBook logo etc) so hope it looks fine to you. Do you own RCT1? Because what we really need is RCT1 ride icons, to make a consistent Infobox picture. If you could upload some of those little 112 x 112 icons then that would be awesome. Lachlan5963 10:37, June 23, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, I own all of the games (except for Wild), so that should be no problem. What particular icons are you referring to? Also, chances are they are identical to the RCT2 ones. Believe it or not they are almost the same game in terms of the visual elements. --Matt 20 1 10:59, June 24, 2012 (UTC)
Like these:
. If they are in fact the same, then just RCT2 and 3 pictures would be needed.Lachlan5963 13:44, June 24, 2012 (UTC)
Update - I've finally bought RCT1 and I really need to know something - how to save the rides?! There is no floppy to click on but I see downloads of rides so what do I do? Thanks lol I know its stupid for an admin to ask questions like that :/Lachlan5963 Flamingo Land Corkscrew replacement: New GCI woodie! Zamperla kiddie flat-rides Talk 13:44, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
To save a ride in RCT1, click on the ride, and with the ride window active you can save the design from the normal save menu at the top left corner. You sadly cannot save the scenery located near the ride in RCT1.--Hadesengel 13:50, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
If I can find my RCT2 disk, I will start adding better thumbnails to the RCT2 rides. But I may have to buy and download it again. I'll do that as soon as I can Overlogger 20:25, July 2, 2012 (UTC)

I'm new here, but I'm ready to contribute. Unfortunately I only have RCT3 that's the only info I can update at present. I'd like to take the bulleted list of RCT3 flat rides (for starters) and turn it into a table with icons and basic stats for each ride and having the ride name link to the wiki page. Basic stats I'd like to put in are:

  • Icon to represent whether the ride is included in Base game, Soaked, or Wild expansion
  • The ride icon
  • The price
  • Length, Width, Area
  • Capacity (Peeps per ride)
  • Excitement, intensity, and nausea

Does that sound good? Should I make a test version of my proposed change with a few rides first? In the mean time I will do some less drastic edits like uploading some scenario images and filling in some bits. Bork Blatt (talk) 18:28, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

Sure, we can do that, and thanks for helping out - I will get some icons from the game when I'm on my PC. RCT3 is what we need most at this point (Until when the 3DS game is released, at least), so thanks for helping out and have fun :DUser:Lachlan5963/SigReal

EDIT:No, just edit on to the page if you want to...User:Lachlan5963/SigReal

Thanks - will do. Sadly I seem to have lost my Excel spreadsheet where I had put all the ride stats. I will need to recompile it if I can't find it in an old backup. In the mean time I will also continue filling in scenario pages. Bork Blatt (talk) 19:15, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
