Okay, when I started learning how to build coasters in Rollercoaster Tycoon I was told 'keep lateral g's below 2.5g at all cost'. That worked and the result was positive. But Planet Coaster? Well I get a few rides where my laterals go above 2.5g yet I get good ratings. Honestly am I just being.
- RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 The Wooden Roller Coaster is a roller coaster that appears in the first 3 editions in the main series of RollerCoaster Tycoon. A good Wooden Roller Coaster is fast, has plenty of air-time, some lateral G's, steel drops, and is designed to feel 'out-of-control'.
- By now, we know that the new coaster editor is in the designing phase. But that doesn't mean it's too late to throw ideas around for it. One of my concerns for the new coaster editor is that it'll be too much like No Limits.
