Description
As requested by Gymnasiast, I have made a list of all RCT2 expansion ride objects that currently have errors here on GitHub to make it easier to keep track of these errors. The errors have check boxes listed to denote whether or not the issues have been currently fixed.
UPDATE (2024-02-09): Some of the issues originally listed here are now gone as they have since been fixed.
- River Styx Boats, Harpies Trains, Neptune Ride, Hover Cars - Have preview thumbnails which do not change color across different color palettes (done by changing the water color type from Natural Water to Orange Water and vice versa). Originally reported in #217.

- Yellow Taxi Trains (rct2ww.ride.taxicstr.json)
- Lacks banked slope and large steep slope incline sprites.

- Police Car Trains (rct2tt.ride.polchase.json)
- Vehicles have sprite misalignments on vertical slope and inverted tracks
- Cerberus Trains (rct2tt.ride.cerberus.json)
- Description could be changed to be consistent with the Hyper-Twister Trains (wide cars) (rct2.ride.bmrb.json) they are based on: "Wide 4-across cars with raised seating and simple lap restraints, in the theme of the multi-headed dog from the Underworld"
-
minCarsPerTrainis also inconsistent with bmrb: should be 5 instead of 4
- Surfing Trains (rct2ww.ride.surfbrdc.json)
- Inconsistent
minCarsPerTrainwith Twister Trains (rct2.ride.bmsd.json) and Stand-up Twister Trains (rct2.ride.bmsu.json): should be 5 instead of 4
- Inconsistent
- Police Cars (rct2tt.ride.policecr.json)
- Description has a typo; should be: "1920s-themed police cars run on wooden tracks, turning around on special reversing sections"
- Turtle boats (rct2ww.ride.tutlboat.json)
- Vehicle name should have “boats” capitalized → Turtle Boats
- Description should be: “Small turtle-shaped boats powered by a centrally-mounted motor controlled by the passengers”
- 1920s Racing Cars (rct2tt.ride.1920racr.json)
- Can sometimes get stuck on corners

- Fire Cracker Ride (rct2ww.ride.firecrak.json)
- Paint preview has inconsistent coloring with the actual ride vehicle
- Description should be: "Fire cracker-themed rotating wheel with suspended passenger pods, which first starts spinning and is then tilted up by a supporting arm"
- Lemonade Market Stall (rct2tt.ride.mktstal2.json)
- Description should remove the period "." at the end for consistency with other shops and stalls' descriptions

Start with the named ride object files: rct2ww.ride.taxicstr.json, rct2tt.ride.polchase.json, rct2tt.ride.cerberus.json, rct2ww.ride.surfbrdc.json, rct2ww.ride.tutlboat.json, rct2ww.ride.firecrak.json, and rct2tt.ride.mktstal2.json. Review each unchecked item and confirm that all listed metadata and sprite issues are fixed, then update the checklist when the remaining errors are resolved.
