Imagine walking into a theme park with a 6-year-old, and leaving just in time to drop them off at college, 12 years later. For fans of the game Roller Coaster Tycoon, these are obviously minor.
The Rollercoaster Tycoon series is a highly addictive one and it’s likely you’ve sunk a fair few hours into the games if you’re a fan. You have to be a pretty dedicated fan to want to tackle some of the best coasters out there, and you have to be a REALLY dedicated fan to take on the latest creation from YouTuber Marcel Vos [via PCGamersN].
Rollercoaster Tycoon 12 Years Coaster
Vos recently shared a clip on his YouTube channel, which shows off the highlights of what’s officially the longest in-game roller coaster ever created.
So, how long does it take to ride? 12 whole years. And just to clarify – that’s not in-game years – that’s 12 years of your actual life on a rollercoaster.
Kinda cruel right? Also kind of an interesting way to kill off a load of Sims if there were to ever be a crossover.
Check out the video below to see Vos explain just how the coaster was created. (Spoiler: Vos is clearly a Maths genius).
God damn, this dude is such a math boss, spending time to make the longest rollercoaster. RCT2 – 12 Years Of Suffering – Longest roller coaster ever created – YouTube https://t.co/iKkmIDrfaKpic.twitter.com/nsZGb6MaWa

So, has Vos actually completed the level? Well…no, apparently not, as it’s deemed impractical to actually test IRL.
One keen-eyed commenter on the video did note that the timing does add up, saying: “RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is from 2002, this video was posted in 2018
“2018 – 2002 = 16 years
“A human can go fine with roughly 6 hours of sleep. There are 24 hours in a day. 6/24 = 25%
“25% of 16 years = 4 years
“16 years – 4 years = 12 years …..
“Precisely the amount of time needed to test the train if you wanted to be present during the entire event and pausing it while you sleep.
“Nice try attempting to convince us that its not practical to test it in real time, but now we know that you actually did it – and only posted the video in 2018 after you finished the real-time testing of your creation. I’ve caught you red handed mate.”
me: I really need to start going to bed earlier so im less tired
12 Years Wasted

Would you play this?
12 Years A Slave Movie
Heya!
Ive been playing all the Parks and had no trouble so far but with the Sprightly Park i can not find a way to solve this one. I googled alot ond on the RCT 1/2 versions it was possible to charge for the rides and therefor there was a chance to pay back the loan... but in the classic version it is either entrance fee OR charging for rides... and for me that means there is absolutely no way of reaching the goal cause all you can do to make money is sell Food and Store items and that wont possibly cover 3-4 k loanpayments... Anyone figured a way?
Peace
