RCT3 Soaked is the first expansion pack to be realeased and it solves some problems that have occured in the orginal RCT3. There are loads of new features and they all are very fun. Some of the things that are addressed are the tunnels. Like in the first and second edition, you can build tunnels right through walls. Also instead of having to click on a single person to view their opinions. There is a new button to group them all together like in the orginal RCT. This makes it easier to plan what you need to do to fix problems. The new feature gives you a concensus on peoples opinions. Also the mixmaster has been improved greatly. Now you can add water shows and lazer lights to it too. But the real improvement is the preview screen where you still select it, it will show you a preview of what it looks like. This feature is great since in RCT3 orginal. You had to put the fireworks in the schedule and then preview what it was by playing the whole fireworks segment. This makes it a lot easier to put fireworks together.

The new features in soaked are very good like you can build a water park altogether or add it with our original park so you can have a water park within a theme park. There are slides, flumes, and a river pool or lazy pools. Also a killer shark and dolphin show are here. It's like RCT 3 meets Sea World. There is also a neat shuttle hop on hop off transit shuttle. It looks like Universal Studios Backlot tour vehicles. They can be used as shuttles but you can place ride events like erupting volocano and make a ride out of it. It really makes it seem like the Backlot tour at Universal Studios. Many features plus a couple of new carnival type attractions and beach stores like sunscreen store keep this expansion pack fresh until the next expansion pack in Sept/Oct.

Of course, there is still room for more rides and attractions not yet released in this expansion pack, they are most likely saving those for the next expansion pack.

Great buy of any RCT 3 fan.

I really enjoyed R.T.3 but this expansion pack is very hard to master and has a few bugs of its own. It takes forever to actually make a water fall work and is very frustrating.
You have the ability to build rides through terrain now but this to is virtually impossible to accomplish. And often the rides won't function. I receive constant pop-ups saying the ride stations are not long enough for the ride cars, even though you can see the cars sitting in the station. Terrain is a major problem as que lines no longer line up with the ground, forcing you to spend alot of time trying to adjust the surrounding land to the proper height.
This expansion pack, if anything, is very frustrating, much more so than the original problems with RT3.
In the first 2 version of this game it was very easy to build through mountains and underground, those days are long gone here. Unless you have hours to spend mastering this new stuff, you may want to think twice before you add this pack.

Good and, well good

This game is great, but in some ways it lacks detail. Though it serves it purposes, it needs a wee bit of work.Heres the good and bad( thiis design is partially following after spotlight reviews) of the game

Good:

1. If you like waterslides, youll never want to play RCT3 without this EVER again. It is very addictive, and adds a lot of features.

2. The types of waterslides have variation.Starting from a tubeslide, to a lazy river, to a master blaster,and so on and so forth.

3Pool complexes have nice construction features. Like spas, wave machines etc.

Bad:

1.Although its nice to add a slide to your pool, thats where the slides are ONLY going to go. There is NO slide end runways, or pools JUST for the slide (you could make one, but people would just jump in who have'nt even gone on the slide.) for any of the slides.Excluding the H20 Slide (AKA Master blaster) but then youd have to make it in a complete circut.

2. It seems the peeps have never heard of a speed slide (you know, a tall body slide with one drop). You try making one using the body slide creator and all peeps will absolutley hate it. I havent tried the highest it can go, but trust me. Mine was pretty high.

3. The peeps lack just about any sense of danger. they will just swim right when someone exits a slide in the way they get out. Also when creating a body slide they let you go completely vertical.(like a full 90degrees !)Kinda unrealistic.

This game is definently a winner, despite its flaws.

So, buy it.

This is a great game

The Soaked expansion adds loads of new features to RCT3, including the ability to add water parks, waterfalls, lazer and water shows. There's also many new rides and coasters.

Paticuarly cool is watching the peeps play in teh swimming pools :-)

Anyone who does encounter a problem should visit the Atari forums, the developers are known to hang out there and there's lot of frindly fans to meet.

I would say this is a pretty good expansion pak; it adds new elements to the theme park and some of the additions gives a theme park countless possibilites. This expansion gets a 5- star fun factor for its creativity and effort. But overall, I will just give it a 4 star because it still has glitches and many has experienced lagging. But when compared to the RCT2's expanisons (time twister and wacky worlds), this one is a winner by far. Just a reminder, there's another expanison coming out in October call Wild!

This could've been an awesome expansion, but the bugs hold it back. When you zoom out it slows way down, the screen messes up, freezes, etc. You have to restart your computer. This one bug makes the game unplayable. There are minor bugs expressed in other reviews. It is incredibly frustrating. A side note: when you create your own scenarios and you're selecting what you want to have available in your park and what won't be available in your park, wouldn't it be nice to be able to select more than one thing at a time? Overall three stars. But if it worked, five all the way.

I allready have RT3..I been addicted to it..than this water park comes out...It took me a bit to kinda figure it out even with the directions. To connect the slide to the pool u gotta tweak the slide..so that means a little construction after u make the pool. Sometimes u gotta make the end tilt up a little bit. As soon as it is conntected and u drag the stairs straight up to connect it you can add extra's to the pool, like a life guard or diving boards, or even a wave runner. U just have to make sure u put down an extra path. To open the pool u gotta make an entrance and from the entrance u can control the wave runner the cycle of cleaning of the pool, from low, med or high cleaning. It is a lot of fun.
I highly recommend this to anyone!

My whole family loves this game! It is much more fun than I thought it would be. We have every Rollercoaster Tycoon game available and they all just keep getting better. I love how realistic the situations are. I would recomend this game to anyone who likes the Tycoon type games.

While one major wish of mine was fulfilled in the coaster cam, another was fulfilled with the Soaked! expansion. Finally we can add thrilling waterslides to custom made waterparks that mesh right in with the dry end of the amusement park. I was really excited when this was released and tore right into it. Immediately you will notice (as with the original RCT3 title) that the pools have a lot of possibilities. Stairs, walkways, spas, and other attractions make even a highly themed waterpark possible. It is easy to set it in a jungle, the future, a big city, or any number of other theming options.

The waterslides are easy and relatively inexpensive to construct. The only thing that is disappointing is that in order to make them exciting, they require series of turns, dips, and the like. A freefall (even from hundreds of feet) just doesn't do it for our peep friends. Other than that you are free to send them flying down a handful of varieties of white water rides.

The scenarios are of medium difficulty for the most part. A few towards the end were slightly challenging, but a little inguinuity goes a long way in this expansion pack. I must admit though, I beat several scenarios before I noticed that peeps will pay handsome fees to enter pool complexes, provided they feature exciting rides and large enough pools. The pool complexes are the most important part of most of the scenarios income, so go ahead, raise those prices (to the upwards of eleven or twelve dollars), it will make you successful.

Another thing that makes buying an expansion pack worthwhile is the improvements it brings to the features of the original games. Soaked! has improved tunnels a great deal, which is awesome news considering the original RCT3 was lacking in that department. It is probable that the newer expansions will continue to improve and extend this interface. There are also other minor improvements as well.

Overall I found Soaked! to be very worthwhile as an expansion pack. It introduced a whole new series of attractions as well as improved the basic design of RCT3. It is almost a must for any RCT3 fan.

Cannot wait for WILD!!!

This game is great, I have had so much fun designing the water themed parks, I cannot wait for the WILD expansion to get here.

This program is also good for exploring the Physics of rollercoaster designs also. So any budding designer might be able to create rides for Disney, Busch, or Six Flags et al...
