Looks like there may be a rollercoaster tycoon 4 after all.

I actually really like RCT3. I really liked 2, as well, but what's the point of making a new game if it's exactly like the old one?

It sounds to me like the best of all possible RCT worlds would incorporate the platform of v. 2 and all the doodads of v. 3.

I want more flexible coaster design. It doesn't have to be No Limits, but something along the lines of Disney Interactive's Ultimate Ride or the really old Disney Coaster would work nicely. Perhaps allow us be able to build rides with pre-made pieces, but also let us adjust the sizes, banks, and lengths of those pieces.

And include a seemingly endless selection of familiar rides. Make it more realistic and less cartoony, but still fun.

It'd be nice if they could incorporate game stalls. And (non-animal/fireworks) shows...even if the shows are just clicked on from a standard menu. Those are two missing elements that really seem to capture the essence of amusement park-dom. (They have vomit down to a tee. ;))

Disney Coaster had the best platform for building coasters, IMO. Unlike No Limits, you don't have to be familiar with bezier curves to make the coaster do what you wanted. And the old lady just made me laugh.

^ The old lady never liked my coasters that much. I liked how you could overlap tracks in ways not possible in real life. For example, a friend and I had a track go in a tight circle five or so times, simply by adding more track on top of itself. Then we'd have a little bit of straight track and move on to another such circle. All the reviewers hated that course... except the little old lady, who loved it. :)

...and that is why I love the old lady, whose name is Mabel Husker. We had similar tastes. It was Libby Melman (the arrogant smart one) that got on my nerves!

Man, the memories. I'm gonna have to break out my Disney Coaster disk tonight, I just finished building an old desktop with a 3 1/2" floppy drive.

However, one downfall of that platform was that you could only use corkscrews and loops as inversions. Combine Coaster's building platform with RCT's inversions and you have a winner.

I used to spend hours designing coasters with that game. I also made a lot of unrealistic coasters that overlapped themselves. And I always clicked that one mouse button to give a boost on big hills or to speed through the entire track as fast as possible.

Hi everyone, first post here. :)

I must say I liked 2 way better than 3.

(I had a hard time getting a medium to large size park running in 3.)

A full camera version of 2 would have made me happy, also a scenery builder where you can build and copy structures would have been a nice feature for rct2, I build a lot of sky scrapers etc.

I bet 4 will just be an expanded version of 3 and will have the same feel.

There were some serious bugs in my rct3, like the sweepers would drift off their assigned paths and end up lost. That sours the whole game for me. Once I set something I don't like surprises. lol

Thx :)

3 is visually stunning. My biggest complaint is the lack of big crowds in the park (its hard for me to get over 1000) and the lack of lines for rides. I was so surprised the first time I built a ridiculously exciting coaster and could never get over 60 people in line for it. I had over a thousand people in line for a coast in RCT2 one time.

I want to be excited for this, but I doubt that it'll being anywhere close to as good as RCT2.

Honestly, one of my biggest complaints about RCT3 (besides the abysmal performance) was the odd amount of friction on the roller coasters. either they were sluggish, or, if you checked that option that they made so that imported coasters wouldn't stall, the thing ran like it was on teflon. But i did appreciate the staggered goals.

I think the new one should be like 1,2 cuz 3 totally went away from what 1,2 was it was to Atri like 1,2 looks more real like I didn't like 3 and all the add ons didn't run together like 1,2 you could build your own park I think they need to build one were you can have a good water park in side your theme park with wave pools cool water slides kinda like a water park and six flags in one I think that would be allsome

Yikes. Proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation are encouraged on this site (and it will help us understand what you're saying).

A RCT4 with upgrades (intelligence, etc.) would be great. But only if offered in the classic RCT/RCT2 style. It seems the detailed guest 'look' of RCT3 really turned many off. It was a love/hate thing.

Would be nice if they could offer RCT4 in 2 versions. Kinda like Yahoo mail - have the new 'look' and the 'classic look'.

They could just offer an "Satellite View", or "Classic View" option. It could even be the same graphic, but have the camera fixed in the looking down perspective. That would be "allsome" (lol)!

^Exactly, Krause. The graphic changes from RCT2 to RCT3 were not received well by many folks. I think the powers that be probably know this (and if they don't - maybe we can tell them?) I wonder how easy it would be to offer that "classic view."

The only thing I really liked about RCT3 was the ability to "ride" the rides. Keep that, and make everything else more like RCT2, and it would be a winner.
