[RCT2 Fleecer - a web app to calculate the maximum price that guests will pay for rides]

Yeah I checked it out, that's nice information.  Are you sure there aren't more factors than that though?  Like like a trash, vandalism, or broken down rides, guests not dying, etc....  Also, I see you haven't actually added a recommended price entry fee, just the check box for one, is that right?  Because when I check the box nothing happens, just an option to click why and check out some of the factors that go into price entry fee.

There is a recommended park entrance fee in the app. You'll need to check 'park has entrance fee' and add some rides with stats to see any meaningful value for it.

I looked at the OpenRCT2 codebase and did some in-game testing to confirm the calculations. Things like trash and vandalism don't look to have any effect on your park entrance fee value, which is strictly based on the value of your open rides. Trash and vandalism etc. will of course still negatively affect your park rating which I believe lowers guest generation, so it's still worth keeping the park rating high for maximum income.

I've made an update to the app so it now includes a recommended park entry fee, plus some information on the factors to consider around it. Hope you find it useful.

As for the park entrance fee gameplay issues you're facing, I can't really comment or offer any insight there. I tend not to ever build up to a mega park where this would be a problem.

That's cool man thanks!  I'm more of a entry fee guy myself.  As I understand it the entry fee that guests are willing to pay is based on the park value found in the finance tab.  Nevertheless, it's very difficult to figure out how much they're willing to pay, especially since RCT2 got rid of the, "Your price is too high, consider lowering it" warning that RCT1 gave.  Any chance a entry fee calculator might be in the pipe?

Sure, it's on the cards. I believe the park entry price is based on a total of your ride values, so hopefully it'll be a very similar calculation, but there might be a few modifiers somewhere that I don't know about. I'll have to look into it as it isn't discussed as often, but it is definitely in the pipeline.

Hey all, I'd like to introduce you to RCT2 Fleecer. It's a small web app I've built to help manage the ride ticket prices in pay-per-ride scenarios. Given a ride's type and ratings, it will calculate the maximum price that guests will pay for that ride. Build up a list of rides and see at a glance how much the rides in your park are worth!

I consider it an iteration on Shottysteve's useful RCT2 Ride Price Calculator. It's an early build without any public testing, but serves as a decent proof of concept and is helpful enough that I've been using it while I play recently. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Bugs and feature requests can be raised here. There are a number of planned/potential features here already so do check that your request isn't already on the list!

Features:

• Build up a list of rides and get the maximum price you can charge for them—or the 'good value' price—based on its ratings.
• Automatic duplicate ride type detection (having more than one ride of the same type decreases its value by about 25%).
• Data is auto-saved to the browser whenever any details are changed, and persists even when the page is closed.
• Compatible with RCT2, RCT Classic and OpenRCT2.
• Manually sort the order of rides.
• Designed to work well on mobile.
