Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 publisher Infogrames today posted shots of the forthcoming game in conjunction with the E3 show, going on now in Los Angeles. The shots include Intamin box track, Arrow 4D, Giovanola hypers, new theme elements and scenario editing.
See the screen shots from Infogrames.
some other things i noticed:
photo on log flume
multiple stations on log flume
new 'steamlined' monorail car
something called a 'spirl roller coaster' and new types of suspended coaster (floorless etc)
trams
new icons on ride windows
the balloons still fly away!
different height marks
a seperate ride design section (not done in game like before if i am annotating the screenshot right!)
walkways on the side of the X hill life (maybe on others as well!)
fire from some scenery
new style map window
and if i can see anything else i will add it later!
-----------------
Deja Vu count this season: 1, but thats still more than most other people who've been to SFGAm this season!
I'm also pretty disapointed! Looks like a add on pack to me, not a RCT2...
Am I the only one who's hoping for a RCT3 with better graphics?
-----------------
I`ve ridden Son of Beast 67 times!
My only big complainment i have, if i have to complain on something :-P, are the supports. They still looks weeks as grass. I thought when you build a Mega coaster over 150 ft or something like that the normal supports becames hyper supports. I hope you understand what i mean. Anyone agree or disagree??

SFEG awaits The Flying Coaster-coming in 2002!
-----------------
Im the #1 Canobie Lake Park Fan!!!These are my top 3 coasters:
1. S:RoS @ SFNE 2. Yankee Cannonball 3. Cyclone
It needs to have some pretty bad-ass A.I, before many will buy this! There are no improvements in the game man, come on!!!
This is a type of game that most definetly won't sell. Looks like a big mistake already!!! I mean, how could you ever call this a sequal, when it looks more like a add on. You can't use the same graphics as you did 3 years ago with a sequal, you just can't! Maybe coaster enthusiasts and rct freaks will buy this, but the puplic won't buy this game, and that is pretty sad, because we all love roller coaster tycoon, and that's also why I am so disapointed with the result. It looks like lefthand work to me...

SFNE's Superman's the best! check out my new photo in my info page.
danish_d, many people said that the first RCT wouldnt work as the public wouldnt understand it, only enthusists would and they were proved VERY wrong, so i think that this game will sell as well or maybe better than RCT1. also, almost everyone who has played RCT turns into an RCT freak and so they are bound to buy it!
and so for it being to similar to the first game, i kinda agree but look at other game series' like tomb raider, gran turismo and so on. always the same game underneath the new in game things but yet always sell incredibely well
-suspended swinging floorless
-twisting vertical drop
-Reverchon style spinning mice
-Mack mine train
-Schwarzkopf speed racer
-walkways on brake runs and lift hills
-separate load and unload platforms
-covered walkways
-Higher height limit (take a look at Superman: The Escape in the Goliath pic)
-better transitions ex. swooping drops and gradual hill crests

HurricaneGeauga- Just in case
I'm very disappointed...
This looks like nothing more than a large expansion pack. Granted, it may be alittle early, but the style of the tracks are the same, the graphics are the same... it's just new rides, options, and senarios. Couldn't they have just added it to RCT2?
I hope that isn't how the final version will look... the game came out in 1999.... our computers have advanced in those years!
-----------------
....Summer is only a short 91 days long. How much of that time are you going to use at the amusement parks??
All of these new coaster styles, and we haven't even seen the flat rides yet!
Chris Sawyer seems to have an answer for everyone's RCT2 wishlists!
I'm trying to read the whole list of ride options in one picture:
Top Spin(!)
Spiral Roller Coaster
Spinning Wild Mouse
Toffee Apple Stand
Splash Boats (Jet Stream!)
Soap Box Derby(!)
