Summary
As the latest edition to the popular “Tycoon” series from Hasbro Interactive, Rollercoaster Tycoon gives all you rollercoaster fanatics out there a chance to put your own creations to life on your PC. Just try not to kill all the guests in your park, okay?
As a strategy management simulation, RCT doesn’t operate purely on the design of thrilling coasters; you have to look after your theme park. Each visitor will each have their own vital statistics to give you an idea of how popular your park is and what additions need to be made to keep the people spending. If you can convince the computer controlled visitors, the money will start rolling in, allowing you to build more adventurous coasters and attractions.
The construction of rollercoasters plays a major part in RCT, whereby you will be given statistics on the safety, thrill, nausea and intensity factors of your newly designed steel monster. Once a safe and potentially profitable coaster is built, it is advisable to make sure the ride actually works and that you’re not going to kill the population of the park in the process.
With a wide range of coaster types to choose from, a vast number of scenarios to attempt and the addition of a new add-on pack, Rollercoaster Tycoon will prove a lot of fun for many of you.
