The 5x4 wooden wild mouse at 12:36 could have a third station tile, which allows it to have 4 cars and double its throughput. This makes it better but still mediocre.

Not to be confused with the Wild Lab Rat coaster, which is just what Marcel calls an average park.

The Wild Mouse coasters are nice, but those tiny turns can pull a lot of lateral cheese

Wooden wild mouse that fails all stat requirements is the ultimate gentle ride.

I always enjoyed using the Wooden Wild Mouse due to the small footprint and low price tag. Lower throughput aside, it's also a rather handsome looking coaster in my book.

Plus, it's the level of intensity that I'd probably be able to handle in real life.

Wild mouse is also one of the easiest coaster to build. I use the thumb rule to avoid lateral G's: make drops consisting of a lagre dip, then back up 1-2 meters lower than the starting point. It works better with lightweight wooden wild mouse carts, but generally any wild mouse cart and also allowes for some cheesy drops and negative G's.

I remember when I was a kid in the early 2000s I went to Disneyland, and I rode the Indiana Jones Ride like 5 or 6 times in one day.
I used to be absolutely obsessed with I.J. That once I got a little older, my parents let me get RCT2 for the family computer… While I was still obsessed with I.J. I recreated the entire ride with every single detail including the cue line, the colors, and whatever props where available that resembled something from the IRL ride as close as it could possibly get. I did all of that from memory of what the ride was. I was like 9 or 10 but I still remember hours of grinding and gettin enough in game money to get what I needed to be able to build this very detailed 1 ride.
I used the mf wild mouse coaster to do it. It had worked perfectly with how tight the turns were and easy it was to move them around. I also remember recreating the haunted mansion as well from memory but it wasn’t as detailed haha!
Now that I’m 30, I still play rct2 on my free time from work/kids/wife/, this ride specifically brings back the most memories of the early years of rct2 and when I was a kid.
This is why I love this game so much.

It's not surprising that the Steel Wild Mouse and Spinning Wild Mouse have the same stats if you use the normal mouse cars: in RCT1 they weren't seperate rides, rather the spinning cars were a researchable ride upgrade for the Steel Wild Mouse, avalable if you didn't include any steep track pieces.

The Wild Mouse coaster is so nostalgic for me. There was a yearly carnival in my hometown that always had a wild mouse coaster literally called "Wild Mouse". It was the only coaster at that carnival I was brave enough to ride as a young kid. All the other coasters had at least 1 loop, except the kiddy-coaster (Which I still liked because it was themed like a dragon in a castle).

In RCT3, the incredibly broken mechanics of the game not only make the Spinning Wild mouse an insane micro coaster, but also the 2nd best blender in the game (that title goes to the Virginia reel because iirc Ive made it get 700+ lateral Gs)

I can't imagine how many times I played RCT1 and assumed certain coaster types were just bad since I didn't know about stat requirements. Thankfully Marcel is on the case with these incredibly comprehensive overviews.

“There’s no reason not to use the double minecart train” AESTHETICS MARCEL

Keep in mind that the mine carts can have two car trains which makes them much heavier then the mouse cars.  A few track designs will only work with the heavier mine carts but not the mouse cars

"hello everyone" warms my heart

Love the sign that says Sign at 0:22

I used the Wooden Wild Mouse to create my first-ever racing coaster, WAY BACK in the original RCT. It was called "The Rodent Racer."

I remember loving the Wild Mouse, cause it had turns at a single tile, which made my smooth child brain capeable of building my own.
Now, that I am a smooth brained adult, I still like it :^)

I am JUST now realizing... the Wild Mouse probably has such a small footprint and tiny turns to make it more mouse-like in design. Awesome 🐭

Really wish the spinning on the spinning wild mouse actually did something, it feels weird when the gimmick of a coaster does nothing

This is usually the first coaster I build when beginning a new scenario. All these tips will make it way better now!
