let me guess, another combination of the 1st three games right? well, im not sure but i would say thats the way its gonna be. they have zero information on the game as of now. On the Amazon sales rank list, its 2091st. so lets stay away from this one. I have RCT 2 an i think its great but this is just a different combonation of a couple of the RCT games, nothin new. I give this 3 stars because i think we all know whats coming.

Not such a bad thing for new players

Yeah, it probably is RCT 2 with the two expansion packs. But for that price I'm going to go ahead and get it. It's a great buy for those of us who haven't bought RCT 2 yet. I bought the first RCT set the same way (I think it was called the "gold edition") and didn't regret it a bit. So if you don't have RCT 2 yet I would recommend this pack because it's the best bang for your buck.

Great game!

"Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 - Triple Thrill Pack" finally delivers the RCT2 I wanted. It not only lets you simulate building amusement parks, complete with rides, food & drink stalls, and other attractions, but this pack includes a huge number of different coasters and examples of each type, and also allows you to try to build your own coasters. There are many other types of amusement park rides, including log flumes and water slides, merry-go-rounds and ferris wheels, go kart race tracks and car rides, and many others. There are also over a dozen scenarios ranging from fairly easy to fairly difficult. The fact that all the scenarios are accessible from the beginning of the game is a big plus.

The replay value of this game is great. I find myself coming back to see if I can better my previous rating or ending park value, or both, or add something to my previous parks to make them more interesting. I know I've spent countless hours designing little tweaks to make my parks or rides "just right".

The primary program, "Roller Coaster Tycoon II," provides many good features that are a big improvement over RCT1, but the same graphics engine is used. I really like this sim game - probably more than any other game like it. If you like amusement parks and roller coasters, and you like games like "Civilization" and other simulations, you'll love Roller Coaster Tycoon 2.

"Wacky Worlds" adds a lot of scenery like the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower and many others to make your park a true international experience. There are over 20 new scenarios, 50 new ride types (not all of which will be coasters), and about a total of 250 new game elements. But the total of the new elements in "Wacky Worlds" wasn't worth the price of admission all by itself.

"Time Twister" adds even more great rides and some really wonderful scenarios to the overall mix. There's a few for every age - from the Medieval to the present and beyond. There's also a few new rides and attractions. "Time Twister" also suffered from not having nearly enough material to satisfy RCT fans by itself.

But now you can Triple your fun with this all in one pack. Amazon.Com doesn't have half stars, so I can't give this game the 4 1/2 stars it deserves, but I'm sure if you've found previous games in the series interesting. you'll love tripling your fun!

If you've never tried Roller Coaster Tycoon, and you like amusement parks, you'll love the ability to design and build your own amusement park. RCT2 gives you almost everything that the old game had. But if you've already tried RCT1 you may find that this game just isn't different enough from the original, even though it includes the new scenario designer and other new features. The graphics haven't been updated much at all - and the graphics were already a little dated in RCT1.

But if you =really= want the =complete= pack, do an Internet search for "RCT2 User Created Expansion Set" and download that. You will be highly surprised at the many new features, rides and other things that fan-created expansion does for this game.

Now that my predictions have come to pass and everything is available for RCT2, I very highly recommend this purchase over any of the other stand alone sets, including the incomplete "Combo Pack". But if you already =love= RCT2, then just wait a few weeks - Chris Sawyer and Atari are rolling out RCT3 - which finally has a 3D feel and a coaster cam! If you've never tried to build your own amusement park, and had a secret yen to try it, then RCT2 is a great game. Watch out Disney World - here comes Roller Coaster Tycoon 2!

complete set! sweet price...

This is a great value!! I got lucky and got mine on sale at a local retailer today for 10 bucks! Amazon's price is good too. I've wanted this game since it first came out, but decided to wait until they offered the complete set (including the expansion packs). It even offers a preview of Roller Coaster Tycoon 3!! I had the first series also, this is a fun game. Great job Chris Sawyer & Atari!! For more info: rollercoastertycoon2.com

If you played and enjoyed RCT 1 you must get this game. The new rides and parks are awesome. With all of the new choices for the rides, this game is much more enjoyable than the first. Once I started playing this, I could not put it down.

I would highly recommend this game to anyone, especially Roller Coaster Tycoon fans.

Best tycoon Game I ever Played

I love Rollercoaster Tycoon. It is fun and challenging. I was so excited when rollercoaster tycoon. I'll give you a run down of the features.

Graphics: The graphics are about the same as rollercoaster tycoon.

Scenery: Lots of new scenery and theming ideas

Rides: Loads and loads of new rides and even some sixflags rides

Features: A handy new feature is the........( techinally, there is no name or it) Remeber when you were making pre-desogned rides and had to remove millions of trees before being able to build it? Well, in rct2, it does it for you. And for rollercoasters and some other rides, it has a pre built entrance and exit, as well as pre built queue lines and exit paths. Another new thing is the scenario editor, where you make your own scenario.

The triple thrillpack also lets you have two awesome expansion packs. Oneis wacky worlds, where you build theme parks in famous places such as the rio carnival, great wall of china, and other place. The other expansion pack included is time twister. In this expansion pack, you make parks in different time periods such as the roaring 20's, flower power, mythlogical age, dark times,etc.

Highly recommended for a kid.....or an Adult!!

Couldn't get enough of Rollercoaster Tycoon? Wish you could see "real-life" theme parks added to Rollercoaster Tycoon? Your wishes have been granted. Chris Sawyer, teaming up with Atari once more, has created the perfect sequel. Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 pulls out all the stops to create a perfect and unique gaming experience. This expansion pack not only gives you the sequel, but "Wacky Worlds" and "Time Twister". Build a steel coaster on a martian landscape, or listen to a wooden rollercoaster speeding past as you watch Robin Hood practice arrow-shooting in Sherwood Forest.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 brings you better zoom capabilities, more powerful landscaping potential (take out a swath of trees or plant a swath of them...not just one-at-a-time!). Six Flags has thrown its brains into the mix, allowing you to manipulate and build five 'Six Flags' theme parks, such as Six Flags Magic Mountain and Six Flags Over Texas.

Rollercoaster Tycoon had limited players to only 14 coaster varieties. This awesome sequel gives you the opportunity to build 25 Six Flags coasters, in addition to many other varieties. The possibilties are endless. Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 also separates the scenarios into 2 skill-levels, allowing you to build confidence and experience.

Summary: This sequel expansion pack gives you endless opportunities to build the theme park of your dreams, thrilling and scaring your guests in dozens of locations and situations. CAUTION...very addicting!
