The Path-Building Toolbox
The
Classic Path Building
Players of the previous RollerCoaster Tycoon® games can still create paths, ramps and footbridges the same way. Instructions for use the classic path building method are below. It takes a little practice to get the hang of classic path building, but once you master it, you may find path building a breeze.
Simple Paths
Go to the path building tool and select a surface texture, and then drag the mouse button on the ground or click single tiles where you want the path to be drawn.
Stairs and Ramps
Peeps often need to get to elevated areas, platforms or ride entrances in your park.
To build a stairway or ramp up from the ground or a platform, carefully move the pointer to the edge of an existing path tile or platform until an arrow appears and an outline of the next tile appears. Next, hold down the mouse button and drag the mouse up a little until the outline changes to a ramp; drag the mouse button a little further until the outline changes to stairs. Release the mouse button to place that piece. Additional sections of the same ramp or stair piece can be placed simply by clicking on the arrow of the segment.
To level off the next outlined segment of a stairway or ramp, hold down the mouse button while dragging the mouse down a little – the outline of the next segment will change. Release the mouse button to place that piece.
Platforms
After you’ve built a ramp or stairway and leveled off the top piece, you can quickly place an entire platform area by moving the pointer to the edge of an existing platform tile and clicking on the red arrow that appears there.
Elevators
Sometimes space will not permit building a staircase. In these instances, an elevator may be better suited. Elevators can be found under Transport Rides. Click on the elevator ride and then move the pointer to the position on the ground where the lowermost portion of the elevator will reside (make sure a path can lead to it). Next, without moving the pointer, hold the shift key to make an outline of the next higher elevator section to be displayed, and then click the mouse button to put the segment in place. Repeat until the elevator is the desired height.The elevator is managed like other rides, so make sure it is tested and open.
Lights, Benches and Trash Bins
Paths are ideal places to install benches, trash bins and lamp posts. See the Path Extras browser list for all the items available. Click on an item in the browser list and then move the pointer to the edge of the path tile where you want to place the item and then click to place it.You may repeat this as needed until you close the browser list.
