Inspired by a set of microcoasters made by someone else (linked here: http://imgur.com/gallery/mdHaj), I set out to make my own! Currently I've made ten of them, including a reverser, side-friction, wooden, mini, corkscrew, giga, inverted hairpin, twister, Virginia reel, and junior, and none have an excitement rating below 4.40. They're all pretty solid rides and generally are slightly cheaper due to their small footprint and short lengths, though the longer trains are better due to throughput. All of them are 10x10, with the exception of the twister coaster, Ninety Looper, named for the space it occupies: ninety spaces.

 

All ratings are approximate and may vary slightly.

Every ride's path meets at ground level and every ride fits in a 10x10 space including queue and exit paths, as well as scenery. Let me know what you think, tell me what could be improved, and take a look at these rides in this save. I encourage you to try your hand at making some of these - I really enjoyed making the ones I did, and I'll likely make more.

Those look great.   A nice little collection. How about uploading them to our Ride Exchange? http://forums.rctspa...x.php?app=ridex

I totally forgot about the ride exchange, my bad - they'll be up by sometime today.

 

EDIT: All the coasters should be uploaded with screenshots and with the same names as posted here.

Nice coasters. I like compact, fun designs like these.

[Golo]

Nice work, love how ppl still play this amazing game and come up with these kind of updates and coasterdesigns 

 

I like 'Bitty Looper' and the stats on the giga, keep up the good work

[irrelevant.irreverent]

Thanks for the input, I'm glad you guys approve!

 

I'm looking for requests on the types of coasters (i.e, floorless, hyper, etc.) I should build now, as well as the scenery category you'd like me to decorate it with. I'll give whatever you ask a shot.

I'm just starting to play RCT2 again after a six year hiatus.  I must say, your mini coasters are inspirational! 

 

Thank you for posting them.

[irrelevant.irreverent]

It's no problem. If you have any requests, feel free to ask - I'm going to work on another set of 10 coasters this weekend.

These look awesome! I'll have to try recreating these. I lost my RCT2 disc, and am beginning to play RCT1 again.
