REVIEW: Number one, the add-on gives you more Roller Coaster Tycoon, and I mean a lot. You get 30 new scenarios which in itself becomes just as good as some of the add-ons for different games out there. But you also get a lot more. You lots of stuff like new ride elements, new roller coasters, gentle and thrill rides, kiosks, themes, entertainers, landscapes etc... The interface is also changed a bit. In the add-on, almost every ride or attraction can play music and there are many different musical scores that can be played to pretty much any theme in the game. (eg. jungle drums for the jungle theme, roman fanfare etc...) Not to mention a few other small extras such as "real" names for guests, and a few more views.

THE UPS: Great new rides and attractions. A lot of work has gone into the theming aspect of aspect of Roller Coaster Tycoon, the addition of more music also adds more variety to the game which is definitely relief for my ears after hours of the carousel fair organ. The additional elements added to existing rides (such as the covered cars for the miniature railroad) are a great improvement.

THE DOWNS: There should've been less effort to create so many new roller coaster types (even though they are all very good) and more effort put into other rides such as the river ride, log flume, car ride etc... It would've been nice to be able to put scenery underground. The new scenarios are very hard.

THE BOTTOM LINE: I would just ignore everything I said in the "downs". This is a great package. A lot of hard work and effort has been put into making this worthwhile and I believe it is definitely worth the trip to the local software dealer. Despite a few unattended things that many would have liked to see, I still really liked this add-on pack. In comparison, this add-on pack also seems to have more "stuff" in it than other packs such as "Aftermath" for Command and Conquer Red Alert. Corkscrew Follies concentrates in every aspect of the game and pretty much makes the game even better than ever. I highly recommend it and I have given it a 90%.

Rct: Loopy Landscapes will make the world's greatest theme=park game (RCT) even better! According to recent press releases, Loopy Landscapes will include Corkscrew Follies with it. Among the new roller coasters will be the S&S Thrust Air 2000, the Vekoma SLC/Invertigo, the Arrow Arrowbatic, and the Premier Rides "Liquid Coaster". It will also feature a new donut shop, a coffee shop, and a T-shirt shop among others. Probably the greatest feature of all are the new stations and new types of queue lines. This expasion is guaranteed to be great!!

I don't need to play this one...

I have RCT, and RCT:CF (RCT= Roller coaster tycoon). This one is gonna be the same thing as add on number one (Corkscrew Follies) meaning you will need RCT, but for this one you'll also need CF for it to work.

Well Loopy Landscapes should have more themes for your park, a new roller coaster or two and you'll be able to do more stuff with the ground. The example I got was the fact you'll have cliffs now. I got this info from an interview with Chris Sawyer himself from the web page RCT UK (I think, anyway...).

I Hope there will be more music and theme s to go with the music (Like they had a Chinese song for your ride but no Chinese music =( ) But like I said it should have many more themes and make your park a lot prettier. It's gonna be a smart buy if you are a big fan or RCT.

Although I have'nt yet had the opportunity to play this add-on, I imagine it will be just as great as the 2nd, Corkscrew Follies. I wanted to write this review prior to playing the game, to talk to those of you disgruntled about the inclusion of Corkscrew Follies. Hasbro is offering a $10 rebate to Corkscrew Follies owners. If you send them your old CD-Rom, they will send you $10 back to help compensate for the price. You can find the info on this at Rollercoaster Tycoons' offical website.....www.rollercoastertycoon.com...Those of you who don't care, buy this....the new themeing and entrance and exit features will be worth it alone!!

A Worthy Addition to the RCT Trilogy

This game, while a little bit overpriced, is worth it. You don't get very many new rides, which is a disappointment, but you do get the Air Powered Vertical Coaster which can get launched out of the station at 112 mph. There are a couple new shops and stalls, and lots of cool new scenery types, including space, oriental, castle, and snow. There are new types of music also. The new scenarios are a big step away from those in RCT and CF. They don't all have xxx guests and 600 park rating goals. They have interesting objectives, such as completing the five unfinished coasters with excitement over 6.7 or building 10 different types of coasters with excitement over 6. The one real annoyance is that you can't charge for entry to your park, which makes the game much harder. The scenarios are great though, and three "real" parks are included. They are sort of like scenarios, but they are listed separately and they are made to look just like three real parks in Europe! Blackpool Pleasure Beach is great, and so is Alton Towers. Heide Park is okay. Overall, this game is a must-buy for any RCT fan, but it is overpriced if you already have corkscrew follies.

Cool Game, Not cool add-on

I am extremly impressed with the new add-on Loopy Landscapes, but I am extremly mad at Chris Sawyer and Hasbro for including the second add-on, Corkscrew Follies, with the game and jacking the price up 10 dollars! I am mad because I already own Corkscrew Follies and I purchased it for 20 dollars. I am not going to by this game until they lower the price to 20 or have a single add-on pack availiable.

Great Expansion!

This game is great! The new parks are great but hard work on your other parks before these. They have new scenery like Winter Wonderland, Medevil, Urban, and awsome new Space themes. I have gotten two new roller coasters but I am not very far in the game. There is a new train for Steel Corkscrew Coaster called the Hypercoaster Train. There are new shops and new costumes for the Entertainers. There is one park in wich you have nlimited oney! One down side. To make it harder you cannot charge admission to your park so you must generate all of your income from rides, ect. If you have the original and Corkscrew Follies you MUST buy this game. You will not be disapointed.

A must have!

No RollerCoaster Tycoon player should be without the Loopy Landscapes/Corkscrew Follies expansion packs, both which are included on this CD ROM. It adds tons of new features to the already awesome original game, providing hours of fun and excitement. Some of my favorite new features are as follows:

MORE SCENARIOS - Over 60 challenging scenarios in all, enough to keep you occupied for months! Includes the new "Arid Heights" scenario which gives you a large peice of land and unlimited funds to build the park of your dreams without any financial constraints! (The only problem is that you have to wait for most of the rides and attractions to become available, and you can't pick and choose which type of rides or attractions will become available next.)
THREE "REAL PARK" SCENARIOS - based on real amusement parks in the UK and Germany
MORE ROLLER COASTER TYPES - including the Heartline Twister, Steel Wild Mouse, and Air Powered Vertical coasters
MORE THRILL RIDES, WATER RIDES, AND GENTLE RIDES - letting you give your guests more variety in rides
MORE FOOD STALLS AND SOUVENIR STANDS - now you can give your guests hot dogs, fried chicken, candy apples, lemonade, hats, T-shirts, and more!
NEW THEMES, RIDE ENTRANCES, AND ENTERTAINERS - now you can make your park a real "theme" park with jungle, space, dinosaur, and oriental themes, just to name a few
MORE LANDSCAPING OPTIONS AND FOOTPATH TYPES - to further enhance the look and feel of your park
NEW "UNIFORM PRICING" FEATURE - allows you to adjust the price of a certain item in your park uniformly throughout your park, rather than having to click on each stall individually to adjust the price at each one....makes life a lot easier!
COLOR-CHANGING FOR BALLOONS, UMBRELLAS, HATS, AND T-SHIRTS - now you can set different colors for the items that you sell at your stalls, resulting in a colorful mosaic of balloons, umbrellas, hats, and shirts...a really cool thing to see!
BANNER SIGNS - including special "no entry" signs which prohibit your guests from entering a certain area of your park (very useful when you're expanding and don't want your guests to enter the new area of your park while it's still under construction)
"REAL NAME" FEATURE - gives your guests names like "Bill W." and "Nancy P." instead of the more impersonal "Guest 1084"
AND MUCH MORE!!!

Simply put, RollerCoaster Tycoon simply isn't complete without this expansion 2-pack. A must have for rollercoaster tycoons everywhere!

GET THIS EXPANSION PACK!

I own all 3 of the RCT games and the are all great. Being an avid coaster fan these games were a must! When I bought Loopy Landscapes and started playing it, i was amazed. There are so many options and cool features. For example there are at least 5 new coasters including my favorite 1, the flying coaster (I.E Stealth, X-Flight) . There are many new shops like Chicken Hut, Coffee Shop, etc. TONs of new levels, like Arid Hights, the coolest level ever. There is no money so it lets you go free and buy whatever u want! You can completly transform the park without having to worry about money (some of the coasters are really expensive). Also, there is a section entitled "Real Parks" which features 3 real parks: Alton Towers, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, and Heide Park. The Alton Towers version is awsome!! There are at least 70 rides there!! It's a spectatular version of the park. Corkscrew Follies is also a great Expansion, but if you are looking for real fun this is the one to buy. If you look at the features in this game and then look at the price, its amazing how low it is! I once spent hours just playing this game. *Warning* One feature that is not good (this is true with all the RCT games) the coasters can blow up (the brakes tend to fail). That is the only downside of this game (once it explodes you have to start completly over which is a bummer, especially if you made the ride yourself). Some of the many coasters added on include: Flying Coaster, Water Coaster, Air Launched Vertical Coaster (AWSOME), Inverted Wild Mouse Steel Coaster (would be great to ride in real life) and many others. Some of the new thrill rides include: Enterprise (a spinning ride), Jet Ski's, etc. There are a few new water rides also. So , if youre stuck on amazon and dont know what to buy, believe me get this game!! *ALSO* You must have the first Roller Coaster Tycoon to be able to play Loopy Landscapes. Great game, low price, cool features, realistic gameplay, whats not to love?

Rebate for those who already own Corkscrew Follies!

To the person who complained about Hasbro jacking the price and including Corkscrew: there is a rebate for Corkscrew owners in the Loopy box. Hasbro did the RCT world a favor: the Loopy set uses tech from Corkscrew; it won't work without Corkscrew. Rather than requiring everyone to buy Corkscrew and then buy Loopy, Hasbro just gives you both in one box!

Loopy is great, both for RCT fans who bought Corkscrew and those who are just getting into RCT.
