In all three [[RollerCoaster Tycoon series|RollerCoaster Tycoon]] games, there are behind-the-scenes setting (handicaps) that are enabled on scenarios, making it harder for the player to complete the goal.
==RollerCoaster Tycoon==
There are several special settings for scenarios and while some of them are given in the description or obvious, others are hidden. There are two settings for increased difficulty, which you can find out by opening a saved game of the according park with the scenario editor of [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2|Roller Coaster Tycoon 2]].
 
===Park rating higher difficulty level===
This handycaphandicap, also known as '''Park rating is harder to increase and maintain''' in Scenario Options, makes it harder to please your guests by reducing the final park rating by 100. You can counter it by making your park even better, so watch your guests' [[Guest Moods|moods]] and their according [[Guest Thoughts|thoughts]]. That means more shops and stalls, more bathrooms, clean paths, better and cheaper rides, ... Eventually your park will also reach a [[Park Rating|rating]] of 999.
 
===Guest Generation higher difficulty level===
This setting, also known as '''Guests are more difficult to attract''' in Scenario Options and '''harder guest generation''', will prevent you from attracting significantly more than 1,000 guests without building large coasters. In order to attract more than 1,000 guests with this setting enabled, you must build rides with an excitement rating of at least 6 and a length of at least 600 meters (1,968 feet). In exchange for this, large rides attract twice as many guests as they would with this setting disabled. For instance, a [[Wooden Roller Coaster]] normally attracts 105 guests to the park, but if one is built in a scenario with this setting enabled and has more than 6 excitement and a 600 m (1,968 ft) length, it will attract 210 guests to the park once the soft guest cap is 1,000 or higher. Note that rides must be able to use the Graph function in the ride window to be eligible for satisfying harder guest generation requirements. Additionally, if a ride has multiple stations, every section must be more than 600 m (1,968 ft) long.
It's hard to judge what this handycap does in detail. It seems that the guest limit is lower and enforced harder. The guest limit is an artifical number and determines by the amount of rides you have. Usually, you can attract about 50 guests with a flat ride and about 75 guests with a roller coaster, but this also depends on your park rating.
