History Trivia / RollerCoasterTycoon

** The manual for ''1'' also warns about rides with spinning rafts and whirlpools. The only ride that has both of those things is the River Rapids. While the tip does make sense in real life, in the game, the River Rapids has a low nausea rating, even with the whirlpools.

** Many players of ''[=RCT1=]'' or ''2'' believed that some foods are saltier than others, and that feeding your guests salty food would make them thirstier which would make them buy more drinks. However, no such "saltiness" rating exists in those two games. This myth came from a tip in the manual, which stated that drinks stands are more popular when they're placed near food stalls that sell thirst-inducing food.

** The is a belief that guests will throw up in restrooms, and that placing restrooms next to nauseating rides will help stop guests from throwing up on the path. Players also believed that guests will throw up in litter bins. Neither of those beliefs are true in the game. Guests use the First-Aid stall to alleviate nausea, and they may seek a bench to sit on to recover from their nausea.

** The manual for ''2'' features several real life roller coasters and shows what type they are in-game. Most of the coaster type names match the ones found in-game. But for X [[note]]Now known as X2[[/note]] at Six Flags Magic Mountain, it lists its coaster type as the Multi-Dimension'''al''' Coaster instead of Multi-Dimension Coaster. It's an easy and understandable mistake to make, given that Multi-Dimensional rolls off the tongue better than Multi-Dimension, but it's still a mistake.
** In the section about the ride window of the manual of ''2'', it has a segment explaining what each statistic on a ride means. However, it's missing Lateral G-forces, number of drops, and max drop height, even those those statistics are displayed in a ride's stat window.

* UrbanLegendOfZelda: There's a lot of fake cheats that circulate on "cheat codes" websites for ''[=RCT1=]'', such as:
** Fake "guest name" cheats:

*** Renaming Guest 1 to "E=[=MC2=]" and Guest 2 to "E=[=MC3=]" would make a dialog window appear asking if you want to be part of their enhancement team. If you accept, this would supposedly give better rides and much faster R&D. The tricky part is to find those exact two guests: even in parks that start out empty, the guest numbering doesn't necessarily start at #1 due to guests wandering in and out during the park creation process (for example, the first Forest Frontiers guest is #3).
*** According to [[http://www.chrissawyergames.com/faq1.htm this official FAQ]], there were many rumors that used to circulate that naming the guests after terrorists or other evil characters will cause them to wreak havoc in the park. We say "used to" since the FAQ says the publishers will take [[ScrewedByTheLawyers legal action]] against websites that perpetuate those rumors and they seem to have been successful in that matter.

** Removing a segment from a past-its-prime rollercoaster and rebuilding the exact same one is supposedly enough to trick the guests into thinking it's a new ride, making it popular again. Similarly, repainting it would also do the trick, but painting it orange or green would cause the guests to complain.
