Well I really liked the game and the scenarios were challenging. The fact I liked the way you could build rollercoasters and see how they do, the Con about that is if you make your dream Rollercoaster EX: 5 loops and has a 179 ft. drop they call it "Ultra-Extreme" That really makes me mad. Otherwise I enjoyed the game alot. Its not the type of game I would call "The best in the world". Sure theres better ones out there in the making or out now, but for right now I say this game is good. In the middle of the game I got bored of waiting until ex. year 3, because my computer is slow I just went to a website and d/l the rest of the levels. Then that got me going on some coaster designs. I guess I made my point for right now but I wish that "ultra-extreme" thing is outta hand.
Innovative, creative, and spectacular

An idea developed from Chris Sawyer's "Transport Tycoon", this game takes amusement park building to a whole new level from previous games like "Theme Park." The animation is nothing special, but if it was more detailed, the game would take a hit because it is necessary to have kind of an aerial view of parts of your park. That way, you can find out where there is vandalism, vomit, or lost guests. Also, it will be easier to you to build rides such as ROLLER COASTERS. You can either build premade roller coasters or build your own. It is difficult to get the hang of building your own roller coasters, though. There is a fair amount of gameplay variety, and you can build parks in a forest, in a desert, in a mine, even in a lake. Highly recommended. If you buy this, get the expansion pack "Loopy Landscapes" at the same time, or if you are not sure, get this first.
Sweetest Game Alive!!

This game rocks! I could play it for hours. You make your own sweet rollercoasters and water rides! I am addicted to this cccooooooolllll game!!! You can also go on the internet to get tips on how to make the rides more interesting and less intense. Also, you can do the ride exchange. Anyway, this game is the best game ever!!

Rollercoaster Tycoon is a really cool game because it lets you build your own rollercoaster and lets you build other rides like go carts,waterslides,and monirails. It also lets you make the prices for all the rides and the park. It also has really cool sounds. Buy this CD it's the best!!!

reviewer:a gamer from Utah. This game is incedibly awesome!Once you start playing you don't want to stop!It's challenging and fun at the same time!The only drawback is that you can't ride the rides that you've built.If you have it, I highly recommend buying loopy landscapes and corkscrew follies.Those are add-ons for Roller Coaster Tycoon.I highly recommend buying it.
Yeah!

I thought that Theme Park was a good game to do with theme parks but when I saw this, I just had to have it. I was in the USA and thought that, this is what i want to do, to be able to design my own park and to be able to run it all. But there are always problem when running a Theme Park. You get put as the designer, maker and manager of your own co-orporation, however big it is. The missions that you have to try and achieve are really great and life like. You can actually see Theme Park around the world having to cope with all of the aspects that you have to cope with when playing this game.
The areas that you are put are also very real in a way as you are limited to space and have to try to get round this in a variety of different ways. You can even buy or rent extra land if oyu are in need of some but not all of it is for sale, which brings you to think like what a proper company has to cope with.
This is all just about the amount the space and are to build in but all the other aspects are just as great. You can create the wackiest and fastest roller coaster of your choice, there are no limits but i do advise you to test it before you open it to the public as you may well have a few accidents!
There is such a wide variety of ride and attractions that you can choose from and get throughout the duration of the game. Just put a bit of money aside to the development of new rides and it comes up with the best ride that you can think of.
Even down to the colour or the make of the path shows you how detailed that this is! There is a very wide range of paths, colours and even fences to stop people going where they shouldn't.
When choosing to build a roller coaster there are so many things that you can do with a piece of track. You can make it speed up/slow down, cork screm, loop the loop or even have a photo shoot, plus much much more realistic ideas to choose from.
There are even more great things to choose from i nthe addon pack that you can also buy. There are some great things to choose from on these.
You really get the feeling like you are actually there, managing the whole park and how it runs. It is a great feeling when you start to make a profit and can build the best park with all the best rides that you can think of!
Well, if you like theme parks, then this is for you!
Best Game Ever!

Do you ever look for a game that you will acually not get tired of playing? Well, here is the game. In this game you manage your park just like you would a real amusement park. You have to watch you money, because before you know it you will run out of it. You start out with 5 parks to build on, but once you accomplish a certain amount of parks, new parks are available to build on. If you think that it will be too easy for you than you are wrong. The first few parks are fun and easy. After you get past those the parks get harder and more challenging, but that just makes it funner. I got this game about 1 year ago and I haven't stopped playing it since. I would encourage you to get this game.
