RollerCoaster Tycoon 3

Now Ride the Rides!



RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is completely updated and redesigned to take the series to all-new heights.  It includes stunning 3D graphics and the ability to see the park from the eyes of a guest and ride all the rides with the new CoasterCam feature. The game features amazing crowd scenes with enhanced park guests and characters, over 130 rides including new-to-the-franchise roller coaster types, realistic day and night cycles with superb lighting effects, extensive still-picture and movie-making capability to allow players to share the fruits of their creativity, a Sandbox Mode and many other new features which build upon the fun and addictive nature of the original games. From street level to blimp, see your park pulse with fun and excitement like never before. 

Open the gates to the amusement park of your dreams! Pack it with fantastic rides, cool concession stands, custom themes and roller coasters that you design.




3D Camera Controls
Fluid camera movement, unrestricted zoom controls and four camera control pre-sets allow you to see your park from virtually any vantage point - from a wide angle shot of your whole park to extreme close-up on the expression of the peeps.

Ride The Rides - CoasterCam
With the new CoasterCam you can now ride any ride in your amusement park.  Experience first hand the gut-wrenching white-knuckle spine-tingling blackout-inducing g-forces of loops, spirals and towering drops; or a gentle trip through the park on a monorail or chairlift; or the dizzying delights of the carousel and ferris wheel.

All New Peeps
Peeps (RollerCoaster Tycoon park guests and employees) now come in many shapes, colors, and sizes. Peeps also now appear in groups, such as families, couples or circle of friends. And occasionally, a VIPeep celebrity will show up to wow their fans. You can even customize the look of your peeps with the all new Peep Designer.

Improved Coaster Construction and Game Controls
Ease of use features, such as coaster construction auto-complete, and improved game controls including a new dashboard interface to maximize the information available to you while maintaining an unobstructed view of your amusement park.

Fireworks MixMaster
Tantalize your guests with a dazzling fireworks show. And not just any show, but one you've created using the new Fireworks MixMaster, an easy to use editing tool that allows you choreograph dazzling pyrotechnic wonders synchronized to your own music library.

Coasters From RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is backward compatible with the user-created coaster from RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2.  So any coaster you created in the previous games can be loaded and enjoyed in your new parks. You no longer  have to imagine what it would be like to ride the favorite coasters you created.  (Some coasters may not work properly due to differences in how coasters are represented in 2D and how they are constructed in 3D.)

Sandbox
Throw caution to the wind and cast off all the constraints of ordinary scenario play. Now you can create the crowning achievement of amusement parks without worrying about money, time or other restrictions. Experiment to your heart's content with any aspect of the game.
