There's no "Ride temporarily closed" sign for Deja Vu.....

I am really looking forward to this. I love the station and sign options, not to mention the wider variety of trains and new theming. The X, Impulse and Giga are sure to please! I also like how it monitors a guest's favorite ride! *Bowing down to Chris*.

There is a speed racer, too! Thats a good sign that SFGAm might be one of the 5 parks! This game looks great, I want to play the build it's in now! Instead I'm stuck with the ancient RCT game.... I want RCT2 now!

Whats more reliable? Deja Vu, or RCT running without a error trapper?

Forget about designing triple wide paths,I counted an area that was at least 5 or 6 squares wide and the peeps didn't seem lost at all.Did anyone notice the PTC trains with ratcheting lap bars? man I can't wait till october for the game to be released I need a demo now.,anyone else agree?

some things that i noticed were:

-on every uneven path there were stairs

-suspended floorless coasters

-trams

-a spiral rollercoaster

-toffee apple stall

-top spin

-something called "twist"

-when building a coaster, there are no longer numbers 1-61 showing the height...now they have actual height numbers (ex. 115 ft, 65 ft)

That last one is the one I have been wanting for a long time: height marks in FEET! The stats always come out in feet, but the heights are always in building units.

I dig the vertical lifts on Deja Vu, but I don't think it'll actually be as tall as it really is. Oh well, these pics make me hungry for the game.:)

Probably the best part about the ATMs is that guests won't constantly leave the park because they ran out of money, also I cant wait to use banked turns on drops. I am still wondering it they sped up the water rides, its so boring watching them in RCT

Yaff: A Twist is a Scrambled Eggs ride, it's just named different in the international version. Same goes with Top Spin and (I think) the Toffee Apple Stall.

This is like the time I switched from regular TV to DirectTV, it was so horrible. I went from like less than 20 channels to over 100, I was totally overloaded.

In the picture with the improved bobsled ride I noticed the pretzel cars on the haunted mansion plus new train types that look like trolleys almost.

Wouldn't a Top Spin be the same as what was called "Gravitron" in v1? That's what a Huss Top Spin is, anyhow.

Of course, the greatest improvement... lower case letters in ride signs.

Okay, that's not that exciting, but I just had to find something you all didn't. ;)

Here's a question for those complaining that it looks like an expansion pack - why does it matter? That thought never crossed my mind, because I don't cared!! I can't figure out why people are complaining about it looking like a expansion when RCT 2 brings many new and great improvements to the game. If you don't like, you don't have to buy it. So, please just shut up about it!
