Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 screen shots posted by Infogrames

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

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!

I like that there are double-wide paths. Maybe you can make them as wide as you want without peeps getting lost, now! Hopefully SFGAm is one of the parks you can build at. At first I thought the impulse shot was there, but then I noticed the suspended in the background. I can't wait for this game to come out. Graphically I think the old game is fine, so this will be too, and it will have all kinds of new things to play with!

-----------------
Deja Vu count this season: 1, but thats still more than most other people who've been to SFGAm this season!

On the train tracks there is a trolley too... it is passing undere the "ice" tunnel

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?

Definitely checking "The day it comes out" for the poll. :)

SFEG awaits The Flying Coaster-coming in 2002!
To answer danish_d: no.
On one of the screen shots, there was what appeared to be a color coded map. This map had a color for First Aid and A.T.M.`s! Also, the shot with the log flume looks like it has either a rotating platform or two seperate stations, one for loading and one for unloading. I can`t wait until this comes out!

-----------------
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??

Haha, the picture with the orange B&M has a nurse station at the exit!

-l(who can't believe how excited he gets over something like covered queues in a computer game ;))

The game definitly appears to be awsome and im definitly not disappointed. Again RCT couldnt have anymore expansion packs added to it so CS made a new game.

-----------------
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...

WOW! I can't wait. Has anyone noticed the loading and unloading stations and the new Schwarzkopf speedracer with a spiraling lift (sorry, I haven't read through all the posts)? I Can't wait!!! :) :) :)
Did anyone notice the one pic of the red intamin hyper, the menu says ATM, First AID, ect..! That rocks!

Six Flags Worlds of Adventure Online

AWESOME! but I really want a B&M flyer, but you never know! :)

SFNE's Superman's the best! check out my new photo in my info page.

sounds like this game is going to be sponsored by six flags...could be a good or bad thing...

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

Danish: you couldn't be more wrong. The entire reason this is coming out is because the expansion packs and original game were so incredibly popular. No to mention, even if the non-enthusiasts WERE dissappointed, they aren't going to be looking at the screens online. Anyway, a few more things I've noticed

-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

Top Gun: TJC flights - Approx. 240 (54 in 2002)

Looks great! My guess for the SF parks would be the flahships (SFMM, SFGAm, SFoT, SFWoA, SFgadv). I like the box track, the 4-D, and everything else. However i think Markey dislikes the First Aid stands;) I would like to see an editor so that u could create your own theming. It would be like a simple program like paint so that you could make signs, ads, and more. Some of the coolest things i see are 1)signs for rides! 2)covered walkways 3)wider pathways (no bottlenecks!)

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??

Wow. This gets me excited for RCT2!

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(!)
