Buyer Beware -- Need a 333-MHz processor or faster

After buying this product, I was disappointed to find that it requires a 333-MHz processor, which is more than even RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 requires (300-MHz processor). My machine is 2.5 years old, is in great shape, and runs fast but has only a 250-MHz processor. Unfortunately, this processor is not fast enough to run this game.

this game sucks.. invest in roller coaster tycoon instead

i bought this game and it was VERY disappointing. it is a lot more difficult than roller coaster tycoon to design a ride. it is diffuclt to visualize the coaster, and riding it isnt all that special. im not sure if i had a bad box, but it also didnt contain ANY directions or booklets. this made it a bit difficult to figure out how to design the coaster. if youre an avid RCT2 fan, dont bother with this game

CHANGED MY MIND.

Yeh, i really don't like this game now, firstly it isn't very good for the eyes and secondly it gets boring after afew short plays on the game. Realy cant rate games because some do get really boring after a while of playing on them. The good to this game is the amazing graphics nd the rolarcoasters. Thebad is that once you have built one that you are in charge of, you ride it colse up but no people seen or not a theme park just a rolarcoasterthat is built only. Although there are the props,the extras on the themepark. Would recomend for a child only otherwise an older person might get bored of it after the first few plays on the game.

Been there done that....

gameplay:4(poor)
graphics:8(great)
sound:7(good)
value:4(poor)
tilt:5(moderate)
overall:5.4(moderate)
This game gets boring very very quick,unless you are a person who wants to make a billon coasters becuase right after you build your coaster and get good judgement it gets pointless to play that coaster again and the challege mode has stuiped storylines,So you are paying about $[...]-$[...] for playing something for about an hour (and I played this before like a year ago or maybe more!),you have no people who buy tickets and ride it and see if they have a good or bad time,you dont even see the judges in the cart!Although the game has great graphics and good sound,it is realy pointless to buy this game,if you realy want to build a coaster (never played it but i bet it is 10x better) get roller coaster tycoon or better yet save the money to buy zoo tycoon 2 or even mall tycoon and etc...

The Wrong Idea, But Best Roller Coasters

When I bought this game, I thought I was going to be able to build a place like Disneyland. Not true. In this game, you can create roller coasters and that is it, you can't do anything with them.

If all you want to do is build roller coasters, this is perfect for you. You can build in the dark space roller coasters and roller coasters that tell you stories.

I suggest this game to anyone who is just interested in the roller coasters and not in to theme parks. For those of you I would suggest Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Fun for the whole family

I bought this game for my 5 year old son who loves roller coasters. It took him awhile to figure it out, but he is now building and riding the coasters on his own (with some help from me of course). I have used it too, and it is alot of fun. It did take more computer than I thought though, as it will not run on the kids '98 vintage Pentium II computer. Overall alot of fun and a good value for the price.

Bring Your Own Barf Bags!

Disney Coaster is a great CD-ROM for you to own. There are five kinds of track to use: hanging, flying, steel, wooden, or standing. And six environments to build your coaster: Frontierland, Main Street U.S.A., Toontown, Ultragrid (Tomorrowland), Grid, & Field. Trust me, don't try the grid. When you finish a roller coaster, you can choose what judges you want to test your coaster. Mickey likes surprises & adventure. Donald likes a long ride. Minnie likes a mild one. Goofy likes ones that bounce him around. Pluto likes ones that don't have un-seen surprises, & Daisy likes ones at low average speeds. From what I've figured, you can make coasters last up to five minutes, depending on where they're located. You can make ones with lots of loop-de-loops, ones with huge dips, even ones that take you vertically up and then down, not like real life roller coasters. After you've built your roller coaster, save it and show it to your friends. Chances are everyone will barf. Well that's it. I hope that this review has helped you and encourages you to get this CD-ROM.

The best in the series of Ultimate Ride Coaster

If you buy just one version buy this version of Ultimate Ride. The other versions are nice to have as well because the themes are copied over into this game during install, and you can't have too many themes and items to place in your coasters. It's one of the best coasters sims available. Check out coastersims.com and ultimateridegame.com for tracks and goodies. Share your own creations and be a part of the coaster building community. You just can't beat this game in your collection.

Really good game, very fun

I thought this was a cool game when I first played it. You can make cool sound effects go with the scenery, have Disney characters judge your ride and ride actual roller coasters from Disneyland. I just wish that there was:
1. More Toontown and Frontierland scenery
2. More lands to build your rides on
3. Bigger spaces to build your rides
and 4. Some way to build a pond so you wouldn't have to put boats on dry land.
What I DO like about it is:
1. You can ride your ride or other rides

2. Great sound effects
3. Great graphics
4. It's addictive!!

I also liked the "Flying" coaster, which makes it look like you are soaring through the air without any supports. I also like that some scenery will activate(blow up, burn ect.) or make sound effects as you ride past.

Ultimate Ride Coaster: Disney Edition is a great family game with no horrible violence that other games have. Buy today!

Very addicting

This game is excellent. It allows you to build rollercoasters exactly the way you picture them. And the game is so addicting, you will probably be on it all day. Take my advice and buy this game. It is without doubt the best PC game I have ever played.
