Description

Operating System

Windows 11 Pro

OpenRCT2 build

OpenRCT2, v0.4.7-89-gdb2a8af (db2a8af on develop) provided by GitHub

Base game

RollerCoaster Tycoon 2

Area(s) with this issue?

The bug also exists in the original game (RCT2/RCTC)

Describe the issue

If you build a track design that contains no chainlift, test the ride, then change chainlift speed, the ride stats reset instead of checking the track pieces for chainlift. Ideally it should call the function to check track elements for chainlift pieces before resetting the stat calculation.

Steps to reproduce

build a ride with no chainlift, test it and get stats, then change chainlift speed.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by building and testing a ride with no chainlift, then changing its chainlift speed. Trace the ride-stat recalculation and the function that checks track elements for chainlift pieces; done means changing the speed preserves or correctly recalculates the ride statistics for this design.
