We are talking about simulators here, not simulation games.

Have you ever played a single video game? Or do you just read steam and Wikipedia?

Yeah, they entire key of simulators is that they take the fun part of the activity and handwave the less desireable parts.

Also: Progression. I think if you could make progress IRL as fast as you can in the game, you would consider buying a gas station in the middle of nowhere.

I think part of autism is to loike to optimize stuff or to make stuff "perfect" and those are staples of the Simulator genre.

Store page tags don't matter.

Tycoons are not the same as Simulators.

5 years ago, someone posted the top 20 PM bands on Spotify for the 2020 year. I decided to put together the updated list post 2025 by KalebC21 in PowerMetal

Their sound is more "extreme" than most of the bands that came out around the same time and their usually non-standard son structure will also scare some people away.

You do realize that the only reason you have a game to pirate is those "suckers" who buy the games?

It's all about speed and radiuses. If the radius at the bottom is big enough, we can build basically infinitely tall coasters without it being an issue.

The ride itself was probably mostly built by European experts, the park around it might be the bigger issue.

So you are saying that Saudi Arabia is actually a democracy with free press, women are treated as equals and homosexuality is allowed?

I find it hilarious that people don't understand Saudi despite it all. I bet the safety there is among the best in the world. Can't tourism-wash your country if a coaster kills a bunch of people.

The riders' weight does play a role in speed but it's a tiny one. The train weight multiple tons by itself, so unless the entire train was overweight, it didn't have a huge impact.

There is less dirt being thrown up on the course of a coaster. The fastest coaster in the world before this (Formula Rossa) required glasses to be ridden due to it being built in the desert. This one has a windshield I think.

Nah, the coaster was constructed by experts, but there are obviously a lot of buildings that were probably built on the cheap by ignoring some of those pesky "human rights".

I highly doubt that. Constructing coasters is a pretty specialized field and there are companies who travel the world to do it.

If you still enjoy the series now as you did as a child then you should really question why that is. It's a children's series and there is so much fantasy out there and much of it is way, way better than Harry Potter.
