  • It's been discovered through some videos that it's possible to do some crazy things to some rides. For instance, a VERY short Double-Decker Observation Tower with some scenery surrounding it is grounds for a very exciting ride on par with mid-tier roller coasters. Video here
  • A YouTuber discovered a few funny tricks that are rather absurd in the game, but work nonetheless.
  • Another YouTuber managed to play the lottery by drowning a bunch of guests, then using the six surviving guests as the lottery number ... and won.
  • If you name a ride "Your Mom", the guests' thoughts about it will become pretty funny.
    "Your Mom looks too intense for me."
    "Your Mom was great!"
    "Just looking at Your Mom makes me sick."
    "I'm not paying that much to go on Your Mom."
    • In general, people have a lot of fun with the naming feature.
      "Dying was great!"
      "I'm not paying that much to go on the moon"
      "Just looking at your face makes me sick!"
      "I can't afford a ride home"
      "My Ass looks too intense!"
      "I want to go on something more thrilling than a rocketship."
      "I can't find my shoes."
      "Your car has crashed!"
      "I'm not going on your car, it isn't safe."
      "I've been standing/queueing for the exit for ages."
      "OY ITS A SHAME I 8 MY KNEE was great!"
      "Watching paint dry was great!"
      "Bitcoin has crashed."
      "I want to go on something more thrilling than THE FRICKING TRAIN! DUMBASS."
      "I'm not paying that much to go on drugs"
      "I can't wait to go on drugs again!"
      "I'm not going on drugs. It isn't safe."
      "An Acid Trip was great!"
      "I can't find my wallet."
      "I can't find my marbles"
      "Just looking at my report card makes me feel sick."
      "I can't find my laundry."
      "Just looking at my bank account makes me feel sick."
      "I can't afford a loan."
      "I can't wait to go on an existential crisis again!"
      "A Mushroom Samba was great."
      "I can't wait to go on a TVTropes binge again!"
  • If you're using OpenRCT2 to set up a Mini Golf and use the Tile Inspector to delete the track piece or turn it the other way, the guests will explode upon stepping onto that tile. The way they end up doing so, it almost gives off the effect of them playing a round of golf in a minefield. Explanation 
  • The official social media page (Facebook and Twitter) occasionally posts a lot of funny posts.
  • The Merry-Go-Round control failure breakdown, which causes it to accelerate to an absurd speed, and eventually start jolting up and down. Even the music speeds up! Although contrary to popular belief, it won't explode if not fixed in time, there are some strange people who come off having enjoyed it even more than normal.
  • People get sick from the Hedge Maze.
    • Guests can get lost in any maze; even if it's only a single tile and the exit is directly in front of them, guests will often jump to see over the walls to try and fail to find the way out.
  • Guests will do anything to get out of the rain, and buy umbrellas for extortionate prices without hesitation, with the manual encouraging taking advantage of this. Unethical? Probably. Cheesy? Kinda. Hilarious? Yes.
  • Peeps in 3 can't be killed in any way, including drowning or on crashing rides... so naturally, cue sadistic park-owners coming up with all kinds of creative ways to torture them. To name a few? Sending them flying by crashing rollercoasters into them, putting them on blatantly unsafe rides, throwing them to lions and tigers in the Wild! expansion pack, and even using holes and terrain blocks to bury them alive.
    • Notably, the official guide for 3 had an entire subsection on this in the chapter on guests named "Peep Bowling". Even the guide went "yes, this is a thing you can do, we know you want to do it, go for it".
