RCT Discussion / Analysis of designs by type of coaster over the past few years

Quick look 

 

B&M's are far and out the most popular and diverse type used, 17 B&M sitdown type rides, which includes Floorless and Wingrider coasters. Highlights here include Vulture, Mayra, Kumba, Fenrir, and a couple of Roomie's more fantasy like layouts. 12 B&M Inverts, 6 B&M Flyers, 5 Dive Machines (This includes BG's inverted diver), 4 Hypers (If you include Roomie's Knights of the Round Table) and 1 standup. 

 

Wooden Coasters prove quite popular as well. 10 we're GCI style, 3 CCI/GG style, 10 were other styles, some Intamins, fantasy layouts, classic woodies, duelers, etc. 

 

Intamin's launched style coasters prove quite popular, 9 launched coasters (some could have been Macks), 1 Hyper (Steel), 1 Looper (Tomb Raider) and 2 wooden ones. 

 

Arrow brought in a few, 3 loopers, 1 hyper (Ghostliner) and 1 Swinger (Skyliner)

 

A couple of Eurofighters, Ilmenite & Mediteraneo

 

Vekoma has Indiana Jones, Inyoni (Flyer), and perhaps Djinn (Not sure what it is)

 

Two water based rides, Python and Journey to Atlantis

 

S&S has Ruishi

 

Schwarzkopf has Ethearel

 

Swoon and War of the Worlds are... not really classifiable. 

 

 

 

Some rides types that seems oddly missing include Rocky Mountain Construction woodies, S&S 4d coasters, there is no launched B&M wingrider, no types of Premier coasters, no strata Intamins, no Giovanolas, a Polarcoaster, Bobsleds, Morgans, Intamin Inverts, 

 

Some types that are underrepresented are hypers of all sorts, Schwarzkopfs of all types, Eurofighters, most all Vekoma types, S&S's.

 

There should be another Arrow Hyper in about 1 months time... Maybe I'll look into something like a Giovanolas or a Bobsled for the future, Bobsleds have a lot of potential.

Ling did it better:

Welp

Haha. I should probably update that file, if I even still have it.

Shame, Gerstlauer and Mack aren't used too often, but I do believe their coaster types are hard to do perfectly in the game.

How far back are you going? Because I know Steve made a schwarzkopf also [Wildcat].

Like Stoksy said you mist some coasters.

You should put this in an excel sheet and maybe produce some graphs as well. I love pointless statistics!

One of my LL inverts that you've possibly put down as B&M was Giovonola.

I stopped about 9 pages in in 2008.

I´ve built two RMC Woodies in parks until now (Riverside and Inselfieber), but as you´re counting only the designs they wont show up here of course.

Has someone else been using RMC woodies in parks yet? I think I remember me being the first to do one, but I´m not sure about that.

Im in process of building a RMC Woodie

Pac fooled around with a RMC layout but never did anything with it.  It's really difficult to get correct.

I've an incomplete RMC too

Same as well. They are strange for sure, nearly impossible in RCT. 

hacking some tracks works relativly well, but 90° turns and other shit are still impossible 

The world needs more (uncloned) SLCs.

IMO the difference between a b&m and a giovonola is pretty insignificant
