RollerCoaster Tycoon was originally created by Chris Sawyer in 1999. Since then, it became a huge success and all of its versions keep attracting a lot of fans. Their recent version, which is available for both PC, Mac, and mobile phones combines the unique features of the successful RollerCoaster Tycoon® and RollerCoaster Tycoon® 2. RollerCoaster Tycoon® Classic has it all: lots of interesting scenarios, authentic playability, and great graphics.

All RollerCoaster Tycoon games follow the same basic gameplay. Players choose a scenario, and several objectives appear that they need to complete within a specific time limit. Once you successfully complete a scenario, you can move on and unlock a new one. RCT Classic includes 95 scenarios, so you will never run out of challenges. In RCT Classic, you are a park owner and have to manage every ride, shop, stall, and member of the staff. While you can manually move the members of the staff, like the security guards or groundskeeper around, you can also set specific areas for them to roam. A good example is hiring a lot of handymen and placing them in different areas so that you can cover the entire surface of your large park.

How to Manage the Staff: A Great Strategy

Managing the staff as best as possible is a great way of ensuring your park stays clean, safe, and attractive as it grows. There are two strategies for managing your staff:

* Click on every single member of your staff and use the blue footprints to mark each separate territory area.

* Click on a staff member, like a security guard, and choose the tab with the hand pointing to the left. A list of their potential responsibilities will appear and you can check or uncheck the ones you wish to designate. For example, do you wish some of your staff members to solely fix rides when need be? Then choose from the list this exact responsibility!

Keep a High Park Score

The park's goal is to attract more visitors. How can you achieve that? By keeping its score up! There are some tips to help you do so. A great piece of advice is to keep pathways as simple as possible. You don't wish your guests to get lost. Thus, any paths that seem too complicated or lead to a dead end should be removed immediately.

What many players fail to pay proper attention to is building rides with safety in mind. Deficient safety is definitely going to make guests leave your park quickly. For this reason, if a ride's or roller coaster's reliability gets low, it is best to demolish it and then rebuild it. Another great tip is to always have some Handymen near nausea-inducing rides. You will not want your guests to experience running over puke.

What about guests waiting in a long queue? This is definitely going to have a negative impact on your park score. To make things better, you can place entertainers in front of rides that gather a big crowd. This will help visitors spend their time pleasantly while waiting for their turn to come.

Marketing Strategy and Bold Moves

Having a successful marketing strategy is the only real way of attracting more visitors to your park. For this, you could start using vouchers and advertising campaigns on your most popular rides and roller coasters. What's more, if you click on the two golden coins next to your cash sum, you will be able to find different marketing campaigns you can run.

Have You Considered Secret Codes?

Secrets codes that were valid in RCT and RCT 2 work great for RCT Classic, as well. To activate a secret code, just click on a random visitor, and change his name to one of the options listed below:

Chris Sawyer: If you enter the name of the game's original creator, the visitor will start taking pictures of the rides

Simon Foster: Entering this name will make your visitors start painting images of the rides

Emma Garrell: This one is really fun. Your visitor will change the color of nearby guests to purple!

Joanne Barton: Your visitor will automatically start carrying pizza and rubbish.

Playing RollerCoaster Classic can be really fun. It is a game with a variety of features, a lot of objectives and you can experiment with different gameplay strategies. All you need to do is plan ahead and make sure your park stays clean, safe and attractive to visitors at all times!
