RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 (X-Box) help - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

OK. I just started playing this game. And I've worked out the basics. But I do have one question that the book (or google didn't help out with)

After a few years. The rides start to break down, allot. And a few even crash. Now I set my mechanics to one per ride. With an inspection every 10 minutes. But this doesn't seem to help. The only thing that came close to an answer. Was a FAQ page from google? That said to set the rides on a 3 month maintenance cycle. But fail to mention how to do that. And I can't find a setting for it.

Any help with this would greatly be appreciated.

Oh, was Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 re-released for X-Box?

Well, the strategy I remember from RCT1/2 is to make sure you have 1 mechanic per ride, and 1 mechanic per ride only. Give them a walkable area (can't think of the term, sorry) that only covers the exit of the ride. This way, when the ride breaks down, the mechanic is right there. And he's also right there to keep up maintainance.

Sounds like you already did this, though.
