It's like a whole other game

This expansion is more than an addition to the original Rollercoaster Tycoon game, it's like a whole other game. Besides the original features (see my review for RCT) this game includes 25 new scenarios, new roller coaster types, new attractions (rides, ride enhancements, stalls, and shops), new colors and painting techniques, new landscaping items, new landscaping themes, more entertainers, and more.

That may seem like a lot of new things, but it's less than it seems. That's why I gave it four stars. Another game: almost all of those things have to be earned in one way or another. Like you have to get the rest of the scenarios by starting with the first five new ones (like the original game), and you have to research the attractions, themes, entertainers, etc.

Another cool feature is that you can have almost all the rides play music. There are a lot of them too (like rock, techno, gentlle, horror...) and it really adds a lot of life to the park, to you and your guests. As a whole (the RCT and the expansion) this game is a sure winner. But Corkscrew Follies alone is not the best or the biggest expansion for RCT, but it's sure worth a hard-earned twenty bucks.

The Best Game in the History of Mankind!

Okay, maybe that's a bit much, but this game rules! The original version is great (you need it to play the Expansion Pack), so buy it and this. I don't know yet if Sim Theme Park is any good, as I haven't played it yet, but it will have to go a long way in order to top this super, ADDICTIVE game. I haven't played Sim City since I bought Roller Coaster Tycoon. The different rides and the roller coasters are great. But building your own coasters and water slides is the really fun part. I can't say enough about this game. Buy it, and then clear your schedule, because you won't be traveling very far from your computer screen!

OH.....MY......GOD:THIS IS SO COOOOL!

This game makes RCT even more enjoyable with new attractions like miniature golf and a ghost train with undergroung sections! You can even build a suspended monorail! There are 30 new scenarios. you can start your park that it partially built, futuristic, or long-neglected. Also, you can paint individual parts of you ride. And, there are about 20 new shops such as: candy apple stall, hat stall, sea food stall, hot dog stall, and... you can even build a mall! And to top it all off, there are new rides such as, a river ride with large capacity boats, circus tent, side friction roller coaster, heartline rollercoaster, steel and wooden twister rollercoaster with giant loops, virginia reel rollercoaster, steel wild mouse rollercoaster, log flume with turntable, miniature train with covered cars, a roto-drop and much much more. I higly suggest you buy this game. You will be crying with overwhelmedness over all the excitment!

An Excellent Expansion Pack

If you thought Roller Coaster Tycoon was a great game, you will love this new expansion pack, Corkscrew Follies. It introudces new elements. New rides, like the Mini-Golf and Space Rings, are a great way to expand your park. New shops, like the sea food stall, are more ways to keep your guests entertained. The new parks, like Haunted Harbor, are great was to keep your mind busy with new challenges. Most of all, the new roller coasters, like side friction, heartline, and steel twister coaster, create endless ways to create a park.

The new levels are in perfect design to challenge the mind. In Haunted Harbor you have to get 1,000 guests into the park, but you can not get rid of 2 very old rides, which crash a lot. In Barony Bridge, you have to creat a successfull park with a cramped area on a bridge.

The new roller coasters add much more fun to the game. The limitations are your money and imagation. There are so many combinations of roller coasters, it's mind boggleing.

This add on is a great new feature for this game, if you like Roller Coaster Tycoon and you want to add more to the game, this is the add on for you.

Fantastic Program!

Roller Coaster Tycoon and its new add-on, Corkscrew Follies, are superb at getting and keeping my attention. The program has so much happening at once, especially after a park is relatively well built up, and is non violent and tons of fun! It was fun and action packed! This is the equalizer! I don't have to run with the wolves killing other creatures to have some fun! I can (and have) also downloaded rides from their website with a link built into the program! I recommend this highly!

The best add-on pack for a game ever made!

If you are getting this game you must have the first game, so im sure you already know how fun it is. This add-on pack makes it 10 times better. There are about 10 new path styles, at least ten more coasters, 1 more staff, tons of new gentle rides, and even a new water ride. Also, there is TONS more scenery. And last, but not least many more great scenarios. I found it more of a challenge than the original, but that just adds to the fun. If you liked the original, then you will LOVE the add-on. Well worth five stars.

Very cool

Corkscrew Follies adds an exciting twist to Roller Coaster Tycoon. It comes with a lot of new rides/attractions, stalls/shops, ride enhancments and even different colored queing lines! You can also put banners across the footpaths, dividing the park into different themed zones. This is a must with the original Roller Coaster Tycoon Note: Scrolling down on the list of scenarios will reveal the ones from the original RTC.

The Surgeon General should put an addict warning on this gam

I am not a computer game guru at all. When I started working at adifferent department with my company, I had a co worker show thewebsite of this game to me. She HIGHLY recommended this game. I got the game and played it, then showed it to a couple of friends of mine, then a couple more co workers started with it too...pretty soon, we were all tired and never seeing each other because we were either all sleeping or playing the game. This game will make you stay up WAY passed the late late show. I warn you, it is E X T R E M E L Y addictive, even for someone who may not even like computer games. My friends and I believe there MUST be a support group for RollerCoaster Tycoon addicts. OH and by the way, if you get the game and this expansion pack, and that STILL isnt enough for you, there are MORE rides, scenarios, tips, tricks, and solutions on the website. The possiblities are endless, and the landscaping ideas in this game are GREAT! You can also download (for FREE) other rides that people have submitted to Chris Sawyer and enter your parks and rides in contests, all on the website. One more story about just how addictive this game is....I have a friend named Todd. When I call his house now and he answers the phone, he will turn down the volume on his computer (because you hear "the kids" screaming, the rides playing muzik, and your mechanics banging on the rides as they fix them)JUST so I will not know he is playing the game. Can you say...ADDICT! The only way you can go wrong with this game, is by NOT buying it! Quit reading this and order NOW! Now, if you will excuse me, I need to get back to working on Funtopia.....

As if I needed sleep

When I bought the original Rollercoaster Tycoon and played it for hours, I thought I would never sleep again. Now I have the add on Corkscrew Follies and I am very sure that I will never sleep again.

Packed into this expansion are some historical coasters like the Virginia Reel and the Side Friction Roller Coaster. Also there is a new Water Ride, several other coasters, a few new thrill rides, and a couple sleepers too(like a circus!)

A lot of other niceties were put into this release such as painting different sections of track different colors. Gone are the blue queuing lines of yore, now you can have four different colored queuing lines. Tired of the same colored balloons and umbrellas, change that too.

Add in several new scenarios and this becomes a must buy. What are you waiting for.

If you played and enjoyed Rollercoaster Tycoon, then Corkscrew Follies will give you more of the same kind of fun. The other reviews here adequately describe the new features. What they don't say is that the new scenarios are harder (in some cases MUCH harder) and that the original scenarios are no longer available after you install this expansion. So you can't use any of the new features with the original game.
