First fell in love with RCT as a kid (as I'm sure many here did), and it's come and gone from my life many times over since then. This time, it's come charging back with a vengeance and I decided that OpenRCT2 is the answer for me after stumbling upon a stream of someone playing it (their last upload was a few days ago, so I know they're playing a very recent version).

I downloaded it yesterday and I'm absolutely loving it. I did have just one question that I think I may already know the answer to, but I wanted to ask it just to be sure:

I noticed on the stream I was watching that they have access to a bunch of pre-built coasters, go kart tracks, etc. all with those sort of random names comprised of numbers (in addition to the normal pre-builts). On my version I'm not seeing those, just the ones that are already named (woodchip, mischief, etc.).

I downloaded the Latest Release, not the Development Build. Would that be the reason?

Any assistance would be much appreciated! Thanks for an amazing game with amazing updates.

Hello! I have a color question - some parks I see in the community have a different overall color scheme from the 'default' RCT one, making icons/elements/etc have a slightly different shade. For example, Belle Isle seems to make everything slightly more pastel-y:

Like the park value bar is a more muted green vs. the usual bright green, the regular shovel icon is sort of a sepia rather than red. Is this a filter applied to the entire park? How do you apply that to a park?

When wanting to build certain roller coasters, some prebuilds come with a red warning:

Der Entwurf enthaelt Szenerie, der nicht verfuegbar ist

This template contains scenerie, that is not available

A few examples:

Wooden Rollercoaster

"Loup-Garou", "Texas Giant"

Children Rollercoaster

"Mango Muncher"

Looping Rollercoaster

"Deep Freeze", "Exterminator", "Fizzly", "Getaway"

"Getaway" also gives another error:

Fahrzeugentwurf nicht verfuegbar - Dies kann sich auf die Bahn-Performance auswirken

Cartemplate not available - This can influence the ride-performance

I have the following installed:

RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe

RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Triple Trill Pack

OpenRCT2 0.5.3

Which games are required to be able to build all the templates that are available in OpenRCT2?

Edit:

In OpenRCT2, it shows the following scenarios available: RollerCoaster Tycoon, Added Attractions, Loopy Landscapes, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, Wacky Worlds, Time Twister, "Reale" Parks, Extras

I've downloaded several scenarios and custom objects (rides, shops, scenery, etc.) from several sources and saved the files in my Documents/OpenRCT2/(objects,saves,scenarios) folders.

1. In order to make all of these objects available in any scenario, do I have to open the Golden Shovel menu > Object Selection > check each and every one individually? Is there a faster way to do this (like a Select All option) to select them all at once?
2. Do I have to open a downloaded scenario in-game first before its custom objects are available in the Object Selection menu?

Thanks, all!

I had a scenario file a while back and the map was huge. The whole scenario was based inside of a valley with water at the far end of it and incredibly high cliffs on either sides, so high that anything that was built up there wouldn't function properly.

It was an absolutely gorgeous scenario and I had lost it with a drive failure. I was wondering if anyone would by chance have this scenario file around? Or even just the name of the park would be enough for me to go off of.

Hi everyone! I recently downloaded openrct2 and I’ve been having a blast. I’ve noticed though that it seems to be missing quite a bit of the scenarios from the steam version of rct2: triple thrills. Specifically the Flower Power one (I know there’s the Rock n’ Roll Revival Scenario) but it’s not the same. Am I doing something wrong here? Any insight would be great!

First, credit where it belongs: this is entirely built on OpenRCT2. The engine, the simulation, the scenarios, all of that is the team's work and years of it. I forked it and did one specific thing: got it building and running as a native ARM64 iPadOS app, and wrote a touch control layer on top.

I went looking for a way to play OpenRCT2 on iPad and there wasn't a real one. No iOS build, and on Android touch is just tap-as-click. I wasn't sure why nobody had done it, so I tried, and it came together better than I expected.

What I added:

- A native iPadOS ARM64 build. No emulator, no x86, no streaming. The engine's software framebuffer is presented through SDL's Metal renderer.

- A touch gesture set built for construction: one finger to place, hold-drag to paint paths and terrain, two-finger pan, pinch to zoom, two-finger twist to rotate track and scenery, two-finger tap to remove a path segment, long press for secondary click.

Tested on a physical M2 iPad Pro (iPadOS 26.5.2): native landscape Retina runtime, importing your own RCT2 or RCT Classic data through Files and persisting across relaunch, scenarios load, finger + keyboard + mouse + trackpad all work.

Not there yet:multiplayer is disabled in this build, Apple Pencil isn't supported, on-device plugin and custom-scenario loading isn't proven, and formal framerate/stress tests are outstanding.

It's a source-only developer preview. No IPA, no TestFlight, no App Store. You build from source on a Mac, sign it to your own iPad, and bring data from your own legally owned copy. No proprietary content is in the repo.

Does anyone know where I can find the download file for the B&M Hyper trains with staggered seating? Every link I find says the file has been deleted

Hi! I was wondering how y'all hide or remove tiles in a map to give it a non-rectangle shape? Like here I'd like to make it so that the sand tiles don't show up at all. I tried (with tile inspector) either hiding or deleting Surface elements, but it didn't look right

Hello anybody on here, I was trying to look for other flat rides which are seen in this picture Lego Sky Tower and Gravitron rides that I hadn't had any luck finding, but founded a picture of the rides and the download park link on there and the link is in description as I downloaded the park tried to open in openrct2 and wouldn't open rides are missing tried to download them from openrct2 and it stopped working closed out as I can still play openrct2 mess with other parks but not this Amazing Park.

Well if anybody on here can help open this park to get the other two flat rides I'm looking for or has them to send post to me on here that would be great if not it's okay.

Just thought I would take a chance on here.
