All Guest Name Cheats in RCT2 Explained

There are certain names that cause your guests to do cool or interesting stuff. In this video we go over all 26 of those names.

I've been told I mispronounced Knoebels (the K isn't silent), McGowan (Like cow, not go), and Eilidh (Aylee????). English makes no sense anymore.

[decalcomanie]

Petition to add the guest name "Marcel Vos" who will immediately leave your park the moment he sees a heartline twister

[JakeRanney]

Nancy Stillwagon: "I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess"

You just know there is a story behind every one of these, that only a few people on this planet know.

1:00 iirc chris also went around parks and took tons of photos to use them as game dev material

John Wardely is a highly respected rollercoaster designer, he designed rides all over the UK and Europe . Most famous for all Alton Towers rollercoasters. Nemesis, oblivion, wicker man, air, all his ideas ! He’s much more than just a random name! He also used to just sit and enjoy rides that people usually scream on and with his arms crossed just say “Wow!” Which is what the Easter egg refers to.

Also he is a cheat in RCT3 but I forget the effect, it’s something like guests have no ride fears .

I find it amusing that Mr Bean goes slowly when Rowan Atkinson is a speed freak.

"Hi, welcome to our park! What's your name?"
"Oh, hey, thank you, it's Michael!"
"No it's not."
"Excuse me?"
"I said. No it's not."

I believe the story around Elissa White was the result of her partner (and now husband), Robb (a well-known name in the coaster enthusiast community) offering consulting for Chris Sawyer. Supposedly Sawyer offered Robb the opportunity to be a peep in the game, but he gave it to Elissa, who did in fact love Intamin rides. I used to know them many years ago and even went to a few events they hosted at parks back in the day. As a side note, Phoenix at Knoebel's, as well as Balder (an Intamin ride in Sweden) are among my favourite woodies

[wvvwkx]

I literally awwwed at Chris Sawyer taking pics of your park, that's so cute

[toimine]

A video about guest thoughts would be cool, like what thoughts guests can have, what exactly causes each one of them and if they influence anything in the game

[racer]

Somebody pointed out that Mr. Bean being slow doesn't make sense as he drove his Mini like crazy (even his actor drives like crazy because he's nearly totaled a certain center-seated hypercar three times)
David Ellis has a collection of analog PoV videos of various rides, particularly Raging Bull where he says "And here we are on Raging Bull." which is also where the Twister Coaster's lift-hill sound comes from, as well as the Wildcat having the sound for Wooden Coaster lift-hills

[TomPhoolery]

lol at Chris putting his ex-girlfriends in his game

[flexnuts]

I live in Southeastern Pennsylvania and have been to Knoebels many times as a kid. The Phoenix is still probably one of the best wooden coasters Ive ever ridden. Knoebels is a small park and kind of a local PA gem that lots of people dont really know about. So cool to see a little easter egg about something unique and so close to home. Sweet vid

[deeeeeeeeeer]

I'm so happy to have a comprehensive guide to guest cheat names. I remember as a wee lass googling for cheats and there were ridiculous ones that promised a lot of money or naming a guest Albert Einstein will instantly research everything for free

[coolbrotherf]

I remember coming across an old internet article with these. It was so fun to play around with as a kid.

[SleinMcAwesome]

OpenRCT should add in the name cheat "Marcel Vos", when that guest rides a coaster it's stats go up. :p

[cg]

So growing up I was under the impression that Nancy Stillwagon caused rides to break down more often (there was even a glitchy appearance on rides she rode).

Looking it up again it looks like her magic ice cream abilities are just bugged and she gives ice cream to the coaster cars too, causing them to get glitchy. Somehow this just makes her that much more amusing.

[ThZuao]

Should have an easter egg where if you rename your park to Action Park (real life infamous park in the US), your rides crash often.

[karmatt]

Knobels in Pennsylvania is awesome. I’ve also had the thought “nice ride but not as good as the Phoenix.”
