This is the other trick to the contest and it is tricky. Starting in your second area (cell), you must have the exit from a gentle, thrill, or water ride that can lead peeps back to the previous area (cell) or keep them in the area (cell). Therefore, if the peep does go back to the previous cell, there must be a NO ENTRY sign at the end of that exit so that peeps from the first area cannot get into the next area (cell) without riding the coaster in that area (cell). 

Do not yet get entirely why there has to be a no-entry sign at the end of the exit-path of the "non-coaster"-ride. (apart from the fact that a no-entry sign on a ride's exit is always practical not to confuse your peeps)
Say I built a 3d-cinema in the second cell, and have the exit-path leading back to the first cell. Even if there is not a no-entry sign at the end of this path so peeps can enter this path, it would only lead them to the exit of the 3-D, where they have to turn around, so via this path, even if they enter it, they never can reach the second cell ??? So why is that sign obliged?

And Becky You also mention: "THis contest is basically Roller Coaster Tycoon 101"
Is that a version, or expression I don't know ?

I bolded why that sign would be necessary...and actually 2 signs are necessary... Because your exit path can do both, lead to the previous cell AND stay within that cell. It's actually giving those peeps a choice. The no entry sign(s) then would be so that peeps could not walk back into the previous cell unless they rode that 'other' ride and also that peeps from previous cell could not just walk out without riding the coaster. This is ONLY for the 'other' ride because the coaster exit MUST directly lead to the next cell.



That's a pretty ugly picture for you :"> but I hope it shows what I mean.

RollerCoasterTycoon 101 is just an expression. 101 refers to a 'basic' course in college.

i have one question i dont think you covered in the rules, in the orginal contest we were allowed one path from each cell that could lead back only to the first cell, basically for peeps that wanted to leave the park, same thing would still apply a no entry sign would need to be on the path so the peeps wont try to get to other cells.

^ ^Ugly picture? No, Becky, seems like a good start for a park, may be you can add some......... (kidding, )

THanks, this picture makes it really clear!

For sure these rules will give you quite some work planning the park! Very challenging.


@Raven3d: that sounds a very usefull addition, if one does not want a park full of peeps crying that they cannot find the exit. For however nice/peepfriendly your park is, RCT always generates peeps that want to go home.




Still another question Becky: if I understand it well, you are allowed to have more than one flat-ride/waterride etc in each cell (only one coaster). Is it correct that just one of those non-coaster rides has to have an exit path with the choice to stay in the cell or go to the previous cell, and that the other non-coaster rides in the area can just have an exit that only exits within the same cell?

YES! I remember that...I'm adding that feature to original post.

Just a note about that though: This also causes peeps to not only leave but causes peeps who don't want to leave to go backwards. You don't HAVE to do this, you CAN. Another strategic decision you will make. I think in the park we did, we had 8 cells, and we only had a path going back to the first cell from the fifth cell.

Becky, you answer too quickly....
While you were answering I edited my last post and added still another question (sorry).
here it is again:

[Buckeye Becky]

Sorry.

Yes, you are correct. Only one of the 'other' rides has to have the exit go back.

I also edited my answer about the path back to first cell...in answer to riven...check it out..

[riven3d]

Please include your forum name in the email and the subject of your email should say CELL CONTEST.

this should be my last question, if a group of people work on it im guessing you want each person forum names lol

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yes...or if its a club entry, just the club name would suffice

[Todd Lee]

Club meaning club or group. You don't have to be in a club to do a group park.


In my park, I don't think I'll give the peeps a choice. If they ride my certain ride per cell, they will have to go back to the previous cell.

[Tom_Dj]

I like the idea of this competition maybe i'll enter beacause i have a great plan for it
But first i'm gonna check the bench
