RollerCoaster Tycoon YouTuber builds ride lasting 194 quattorseptuagintillion years

by

A YouTuber who makes videos about RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 has built a ride so incredibly long, it would take 194 quattorseptuagintillion years to complete – that’s an almost unimaginable amount of time!

To put that in perspective, it’s like 2 with 227 zeros after it. It’s such a massive number that it dwarfs even the age of the universe, which is about 13.8 billion years.

Marcel Vos is famous for building incredibly complex RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 creations. He previously made an extremely long coaster called “Universe Coaster,” but his newest build, the “Googol Coaster,” is even more impressive and takes complexity to a whole new degree.

The game had limitations on how big parks could be and how many attractions you could add. So, instead of simply building a longer roller coaster, Vos cleverly manipulated time within the game to create the effect he wanted.

RollerCoaster Tycoon ride is longer than the universe, and it’s not even close

The key to this technique is how rides are started. Usually, a ride can be set to begin after another, causing slight pauses. Vos took this further by creating long sequences of rides that only start when very particular requirements are met.

The YouTube creator then took it a step further by using park guests as part of the system.

Every visitor has a different comfort level with thrilling rides and motion sickness. The park is cleverly designed so that Vos guides people along certain routes. While most guests experience gentle attractions, only a select few are directed to the more intense roller coaster.

This causes delays to build on top of each other. Each part of the process adds to the overall ride time, and when you have a hundred of these parts linked together, the total time becomes incredibly long and difficult to grasp.

Honestly, getting this park running smoothly was a real challenge! My guests would get tired, hungry, or just plain unhappy and bail, which totally ruined everything I’d built. I had to micromanage everything – the food stalls, where people sat, how exciting the rides were, even the weather – just to keep everyone happy and prevent a mass exodus. It was a lot to juggle!

I’m a huge OpenRCT2 fan, and I was so impressed when this developer dug into the code and actually fixed how guests acted! It turns out their behavior wasn’t quite right compared to the original RollerCoaster Tycoon, and he made it match perfectly. It’s those little details that make the game even better!

The YouTuber cleverly referenced the classic ‘Mr. Bone’s Wild Ride’ meme by featuring the skeleton somewhere within the video.

Honestly, playing this game feels less like wandering around a fun theme park and more like I’m inside some incredibly complicated machine designed to just… make the biggest number possible. And it’s wild to think this all came from a game released way back in 2002!

Even after everything that happened, the ride doesn’t finish properly. In a final, unfortunate surprise, Vos had one last trick waiting for anyone still stuck on the Googol Coaster.

He explained that after an incredibly long wait, the arriving guests didn’t experience a peaceful arrival, but rather a dramatic and destructive one.

In typical Rollercoaster Tycoon fashion, Vos made it so the train crashes.

It’s hard to say if the YouTuber can beat this amazing playthrough, but with their deep understanding of the game, it’s definitely possible they could.
