Hi again! Been a while since I've posted here... The YouTube video is currently on hold, because my video editing skills are, um, even worse than I thought they were... but on the bright side, the info that everyone here has given me was a BIG help in compiling the trivia list! Thank you all so much! :) Instead of a video, I'm going to (for the time being) compile this information into a text + images list, and post it to my personal Neocities website! I'll link to it when that page is relatively-done. Would it be okay if I provide a link to this ParkCrafters thread on my website? You all deserve proper credit, but I want to make sure there aren't any rules against doing that, just in case.

Hi! I'm an aspiring YouTuber, and RCT3 is my favorite "tycoon"-genre video game. I am working on creating a video which will showcase some obscure facts, trivia, features, weird glitches, behind-the-scenes tidbits, etc. about/in RCT3. However, I am having trouble digging up old interviews/press/discussions about RCT3, due to decade-old "link rot", and even Wayback Machine isn't helping very much at the moment. As such, I basically have two things that I am looking for: 1- Old web pages with info about RCT3's development, pre-release materials, glitches that were patched out, early reception and reviews... etc 2- Other assorted trivia about RCT3. Pretty much anything goes, as long it it's not super-duper-common knowledge, it's at least somewhat verifiable, and it stays "rated" G or PG. If you provide me with any links and/or info, I will gladly credit you in the video, unless you would rather stay anonymous. Also, keep in mind that my video editing skills are... kinda subpar. The video's info will am to be high-quality, but the visuals may not be. Just a heads up. For reference, here are the fun facts I already have: 1- In this interview, RCT3 dev Ken Allen briefly mentions various scrapped features for the Soaked Expansion, including water pipes, deep/shallow areas of pools, and "beaches" (possibly referring to swimming in natural water?) 2- The "Guest Info" menu in Complete Edition is glitched; an icon and two useful buttons are visually missing, although the buttons DO still work if clicked on. 3- In the National Treasure scenario, four torches are floating above the default build-height limit. (This MAY also occur in some other scenarios?) 4- Items sold in shops (food, accessories, etc) can be renamed via the shop interface, and this new name will show in the Peeps' "carrying" menu. 5- If the helicopter which confiscates neglected animals is followed for long enough, it will dive towards the ground and suddenly vanish. Sometimes it even clips into the ground. 6- It is possible to easily "clone" custom Peeps made using the in-game Peep Editor, by using a lot of copy-pasting in a TXT file. There doesn't seem to be a limit on the maximum number... aside from the game crashing, of course. 7- The park entrance in the Castaway Getaway scenario can be deleted, which prevents any more Peeps from ever entering that save-file again. 8- Escaped animals do not play with toys that have fallen out of exhibits. And here are some facts that need verification: 1- RCT3 definitely has a sun, but does it have a moon? 2- Can the Wild Expansion animals die of old age? 3- Is the blurry photo on the Park Inspector's jacket really of an RCT3 developer, or is it just a stock photo? 4- Do some of the food stalls, such as Fries, increase Peeps' need for drinks? This was definitely a rumor in RCT1 and RCT2, but I think I read somewhere that it's actually in RCT3? Anyhow, I look forward to hearing from you! As for my YouTube channel, I'm not going to share the link here until I have confirmation if people are actually interested in my project.

Dropping back in to say that Mac appreciates the compliments :3 Here's a li'l bonus video of him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxLqx-2tMa8 Sorry it has no audio of him purring, but I think his happy facial expressions are worth a thousand words!

Thanks for clarifying, and for the friendly welcome! I've edited my above post to reflect the info you gave me.

Thanks for confirming; I'll post my request in the RCT3 section. I'm not much of a Discord person, but I think I'll ask there too, 'cause why not.

Hi, new user here (I finished my intro post just a few minutes ago). I joined this forum primarily because I'm currently looking for info on RCT3 - specifically, fun facts that most people wouldn't know about the game, to feature in an upcoming YouTube video I'm making. Since many of the users on this forum have been in the RCT3 community for over a decade, they probably know the game inside and out, far better than I do. However, I am not sure which section of this forum this request should go in. I would assume either the "RollerCoaster Tycoon 3" section or the "Digital Media & Art" section, but I'm conflicted as to which would be the correct place, and I don't want to break the rules of this site. My problem isn't urgent at all, so take your time.

Hi! I'm Kelsey, and I've been playing management/building-type simulation games ever since I was in kindergarten. RCT3 is my favorite in that genre, but The Sims 3 is a close second. I've never really been part of an old-school-style forum like this one (I didn't even join any social media at all until a few years ago), and I feel like I've severely missed out on all the early 2000s individual websites, as opposed to almost everything being centralized and corporate nowadays. As such, I'm excited to be here, and ParkCrafters seems to be a very nice community! I noticed that a lot of other user-intro posts on here show off their in-game creation skills, but I'm honestly not the best at actually making things. I prefer to do silly stuff, like some good ol' Peep Bowling, or just trying to glitch/break games (which RCT3 is surprisingly resistant to, especially for a 3D game released in 2004! Sims 3, on the other hand...) I have a YouTube channel, and I write fanfiction on Wattpad and Quotev. All three of those accounts of mine will always stay PG or PG-13, but most of my stuff is PG. I won't link to them directly right now, as this particular forum section isn't really the place for self-promotion, but you may see some of my content in other places on this forum. My non-gaming/non-writing hobbies include roller skating, digital art, and listening to 70s/80s rock music. Here's a picture of Mac, my pet kitty cat. Sorry for the low image quality - it's the only photo I have of him at the moment. I think that's everything for my intro, but if you have any questions for me, ask away!
