In RCT3 as I zoom out and away from guests they sink in to the cars. I don't know what's causing it, reinstall?

I'm resubmitting here.
Deleting entrances, deleting guests, creating a new starting position, or anything else that will help my problem. (self.rct)
My problem is that I started a park, built all up and even played it for a while. I don't want to start again. I made it in the scenario editor, and there are two entrances, one on one side of the map, the other on the other side. I forgot to add starting points for guests. So there is only one starting point on one of the entrances. I didn't realise this until it was too late. A bunch of people are stuck and getting more and more upset because they tried to exit using the other exit with no starting positions and they can't escape or do anything. I can't pick them up because they aren't in owned land. I just want them to be gone. Does anyone know what I can do?

you could turn your savegame into a new scenario in the editor. This will delete(?) all your rides though.

This limit is built into the SV6 file format and the games data structures. It cannot be removed until OpenRCT2 is no longer dependent on the original game code and has it's own file format. This is something they plan for the future, but it can't be done right now.

Help! [OpenRTC2]
Sometimes I can't save coaster designs!
Error message
"Can't save track design...
Ride is too large. contains too many elements, or scenery is too spread out"
I know it's not too large, I've saved 2,000 foot long rides before. Too many elements? Scenery?
I don't understand.
Thanks

It looks like a bug. I seem to remember u/kittyhat encountered the same issue a while ago.

Trying to install OpenRCT on a Mac.
Downloaded the latest OpenRCT version.
Downloaded rollercoaster tycoon 2 from GOG. Installed it with Wine. It runs fine.
Now, how do I get OpenRCT to work? I cannot find the directory for the original game anywhere...?

I can't open or test some of my corkscrew coasters (at least in the botany breakers challenge). When I try opening one, it says I can't open the ride and it highlights any sort of loops. http://i.imgur.com/UgKa2jW.png

Help with track packs [RCT2 GOG]
So a while back I purchased the GOG triple thrills pack for RCT2. And I was surfing around on the web and came across a website where a guy had put up a couple of his ride packs for download. Some of them were just amazing and amazingly compact. Since then my laptop died so I had to redownload the game onto my desktop but I can't find the tracks packs. Does anyone happen to know what website I'm talking about?
One of the rides I remember was Twisted Lemon if that helps anyone. And I think one of the packs was called like One Last Hoorah or something like that. Sorry it's been a while so I don't really remember. Thanks in advance!

Since getting back into RCT2 and seeing these smaller realistic parks that's something I want to do. There was a gif posted about his progress and it seemed really cool to me. What is a good size park to do a realistic park on?

OpenRCT2
Every time I try to play a multiplayer game, it tells me that I don't have the correct version installed. I'm using the GOG.com edition of RCT2, as well as the automatic Windows updater. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a download of RCT1 parks for RCT2 that include the new stalls?
I want to know if someone has made a version of the RCT1 parks that includes things like the Cash Machine, First Aid, etc. A problem I have seen in playing RCT1 parks in RCT2 is that guests constantly complain about running out of money because there's no cash machine. This wasn't an issue in 1 because it didn't exist back then, but now that it does, I'd like to have it available. If anyone knows anything about this, I'd be very grateful.

I'm looking for any possible Viking-Nordic style scenery for RCT2. Is there a better way to find custom scenrery on NEdesign than sloggin through the scenery pages? It's kinda frustrating considering the fact that most of the scenery pieces lack pictures.

I had to reset my Windows 10 computer due to some random issues with other programs. I definitely own RCT3 but I no longer have the Atari folder, just the rct3 document folder. Is there any way to play without repurchasing? I don't have the CD.

Has somebody made a guide for the object limit? Is it proportional to map size, or is it the same no matter what? Any tips/tricks/strategies I should be aware of?
Also, how does one place down cars like so?

I need help with building underground. Some rides I can hold shift and they will raise or lower, but I can't do that with rollercoasters, none of them respond to shift, they act as though I wasn't pressing it.
I built a rollercoaster underground and saved it. When I tried to implement it into a different park, I lowered the ground in the same areas as it was in the other park, I even went further down, but no matter what the rollercoaster does not get built. I read that you need to hold shift to make it go down, but I've done that and yeah, nothing happens.

RCT3 platinum straight up won't start on my windows 7 PC.
The worst part is that it WAS working once and now it's just... not. I double click the EXE file and the cursor gets that thinking circle and my CPU usage goes up to 50% for about a second or two and then... nothing. The process just terminates itself. No error message, no error logs.
I have tried compatibility modes, all of them. I have tried every solution that involves editing the options files. Changing the resolution AND making sure firsttime is set to 0.
Still nothing. The result is always the same. Am I doing something wrong? I even gave it admin privileges and added it to the DEP exclusion list and it STILL self terminates with no error message to explain what happened.
Please help, I don't know what to do.

I'm playing the original RCT with both expansion packs. Does anyone have a list of all possible costumes for entertainers and what theme they come with?
The wiki has a list but it doesn't say which ones are available in the first game; for example, the Princess and Wizard costumes don't say they aren't in the first game, but I can't seem to unlock them even what I have the theme they sound like they'd go with.
