Coasters in a Non Coaster Video Game

I was at Dave & Busters (Pittsburgh) earlier today and me and my buddy were playing Daytona USA 2 (not the latest version). We chose the third hardest track and it ended up being this awesome ride through an amusement park. At one point you travel through the corkscrew of a coaster while the coaster passes through simoultaneosly. Very cool. There is also a really cool effect with a giant "pirate ship" type ride and a psuedo Inverted coaster that does a fly by. Check it out sometime.

There is a shooter game wich involves ghouls or something like that in you are in a park for the majority of the game. One of the levels includes riding a coaster while shooting at ghosts.

Also If I remember right didn't the original pole position have a coaster in the background.

#1 Steel-Incredible Hulk
#1 Wood--Timber Wolf

I remember in the mid 80's a game called Mr. Do. I forget what you had to do but you ran around on a coaster track.
Final Fantasy 7 had a coaster in the park area (Golden Saucer I think). You could ride it and you had to shoot at stuff while riding.
Then there was pole Position for Atari (yes I owned one of these when I was little) on the one course there was an amusement park in the background.

In California Speed (N64 Racing) you race on that wooden coaster in Santa Monica. There's also a little coaster/mine ride in the second level of Banjo-Tooie. *** This post was edited by Kellen on 1/23/2001. ***

I have a game for Dreamcast called F355 challenge. A course in Japan called Suziki has an amuesment park in it. You can see a coaster ferris wheel and S&S tower. You can actually stop your car and watch the rides operate. They are there in real life too. I believe the coaster is the Raptor clone, but I'm not sure.

There's a Scooby Doo video game about a haunted amusement park lol.

I'm thinking about making a Quake III Arena amusement park map. Hmm.

Oh and I almost forgot in Donkey Kong Country (I believe it's II) for SNES, the two mine car levels remind me so much of an Arrow Mine Train with only one car, hehe.

I still have an Atari. Man do I love River Raid :).

Any way, on Crazy Taxi for Dreamcast, you can drive to a carnival/park type setting, but I never really investigated much further than that.

Coasterpunk: I was the KING of Mr. Do. there was no coaster, maybe Mr. Do's Castle? I was not that good at that one. Maybe there was yet another Mr. Do sequel?

I also have a working Atari 2600, Pitfall RULES! All the Activision games were awesome! Cannot recall a coaster related game, however.

I played this shooting game at a McDonald's in Castaic, Californis and you shoot bad guys while riding an intense coaster/mine train.

I know Donkey Kong Country One had the 2 mine train levels and II might have had them too, I don't know. Now if only the trains had the lap bars on them so Donkey and Diddy Kong would not fall out when they hit the other Trains with the Reptiles in them. Fun Game.

Also Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom for the 8 Bit NES had mine trains.

There is one part on Need for Speed II where you drive under an amusement park the has an anamatronic robot and a steel coaster.

Hurricane:Catagory Five- The Beast In The East

I think the game is called like Rocket the Robot or something but anyway you can design your own coaster and then ride it. It isn't that great of a simulation, but hey, it's a nice surprise!

PS- Oops! I guess I forgot to mention the game is for N64... *** This post was edited by Nate on 1/22/2001. ***

I played a racing game at Ultrazone (laser tag) and I believe there is a track that has a 3-rail-wide Big Dipper at Santa Cruz. I know it's Santa Cruz, but I'm not sure it that's the coaster.

I think it was a Mr. Do game. (He was a clown right?) I think you pushed balls on some kind of track and had to kill enemies with them Or maybe they were trains going around the track and you had to avoid them (I forget it's a long time). I think it might have been a sequil to the game.

My apologies to the original subject of this thread...

Coasterpunk: The original Mr. Do (yes, he was a clown) was a VERY near rip-off of Dig-Dug. You advanced a level by either killing all monsters (either with the Power Ball, or by crushing them with the large apples) OR by collecting all cherries (6 sets of 8 cherries, 48 total). Once all monsters were out of the "monster generator" it turned into a piece of cake (if I recall correctly) by getting the cake, another set of monsters came out, as well as one monster with a letter on it. (the letter monsters would spell out E X T R A) By killing all 5 of the letter monsters, one per round, you get an extra life. There were no bonus rounds except for the killing of the letter monsters. I could play that game for over an hour straight, on one quarter. No coaster was involved.

I think there might have been more than one sequel to the original Mr. Do. I can think of only "Mr. Do's Castle." Perhaps the "coaster round" was on one of those.

The Mr. Do game that features the roller coaster was known as Mr. Do's Wild Ride. This game was no where near as fun as the original or Mr. Do's Castle.

How about that game called Carnevil? There is one part where you ride on a coaster.
