I was initially skeptical about this game, but I love it! It took a little while to really get the hang of it, but once you do it's great. There are many different scenerios and challenges as well as the opportunity to design whatever your heart desires. I have the original.
It is well worth the money and will offer hours of entertainment.
Even better than pokemon

I admit it only took five seconds for this thing to load on my roller coaster tycoon's fun factor.WARNING! What I really find is that the addiction factor on this game is five times as powerful than pokemon's. This is another genius idea from Sawyer and Hasbro.
The best game on Earth

I thought Roller Coaster Tycoon was great. You can build the coolest roller coasters and other types of rides. You can build neat shops such as an Exotic Seafood Stall that sells tentacles. If you like theme parks you will like this game.
The Best Software Ever!

This game is great! I just got it a couple of days ago, on Christmas, and I'd say I've already played it for 12 hours. It is so addicting!
You build your own amusement park, and charge prices for admission. You hire a staff consisting of Handymen, Mechanics, Security Guards, and Entertainers. You try to make your amusemnt park as successful as possible to reach your objective.
I recommend this game to ANYONE. I loved it, along with my brother and sister. My friend loves it, too, and she rarely uses the computer! This is the perfect game that anyone would enjoy.
Theme Park Madness !!!!

I will try to make this short and sweet. Roller Coaster Tycoon is one of the funnest sim build 'em up games out there. In the tradition of Sim City, RTC follows the same concept except to build your very own theme park with everyone's favorite ride...the rollercoaster!!! Along with other types of carnival rides and many different scenarios to play, RTC is guaranteed to offer many hours of strong entertainment as well as a ton of fun!! If you do decide to purchase RTC, I strongly recommend to pick up the Loopy Landscapes/Corkscrew Follies combo expansion pack. This expansion adds about 20 new scenarios and many new exciting coasters which really do make an excellent and exciting theme park. I highly recommend that anyone in which this concept of building a theme park intrigues, to at least pick up the original game. I guarantee that it won't take long before you decide to get the expansion packs.
Best game I played!!

Rollercoaster Tycoon is an excellent game. I love it. I've had it for three years and I still have fun every time I play it. This game has so many possibilities, the fun never ends. The idea of the game, which is pretty obvious, is to create the greatest amusement park ever. And this game makes it simple. There are so many parts to this game, like researching rides, building coasters, hiring employees, and running ad campaigns. Everything is so easy to do, so you never get frustrated like in Sim City or Sim Theme Park. This game is family friendly, a perfect game for anyone over 8 years old. And as an added bonus, RCT is educational, too! You learn all about finance, engineering, and keeping people happy. All you need to play this game is time and creativity! You're gonna love it!!!
A Great Game For All Ages

RollerCoaster Tycoon could be one of the greatest games ever invented. Who here HASN'T wanted to build their own roller coasters and theme parks? No matter what age you are, no matter if you're a boy or girl: get this game. It's probably one of the best sim games I've ever played. I've heard of other "Tycoon" games, but I don't think any of them could ever live up to this one.
Highly addictive

Roller Coater Tycoon is by far one of the best simulator PC game I have ever played. This game is what it sounds like...You build a theme park. There are many different environments to choose from(you get more environments as you beat more levels. The graphics in this game aren't jaw dropping but they are okay. But this game isn't about graphics, it's about freedom. It's very challenging to get your guests to actually like your park:)
This is a great PC game and is highly reccomended.
