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.
I totally agree with you on the CP thing... I wish the game wasn't so "Six flags sell out mania". I mean, I love six flags, but Maybe they could get a wide diversity of parks in there instead of parks from one chain
Folks, stop asking "does anyone know." Nobody knows but Infogrames and Chris Sawyer.

If the six flags recreations are accurate and we know there is a Magic Mountain recreation then possible rides include
old style freefall bayerne curve sky coaster the two flats in gotham city childrens rides and swings
This all depends on accuracy of course maybe we will get lucky and get these and some others I really want flat rides as I am tired of trying to figure out how to build the same few rides in different parks and make them special
also if the Riddler's Revenge is accurate we may be getting that large half corkscrew we need to make dive loops that look realistic

Anyway i think it looks really good. My only complaint would be the reconstruction of X. I was hoping for an Arrow equivalent of the large half loop, but this will hopefully be improved.
One thing i was wondering was whether Flashback will be it's own type of rollercoaster. Otherwise i was wondering how you would make the hairpin drops.
Also, to make it really realistic, do you think deja-vu only open once a week because it keeps valleying? I think realistic problems like that would be good for the game.
I noticed on the log flume there are more realistic numbers of boats, rather than just twelve.
Anyway, the new NoFX album came out three days ago and i finally got it!!!!!! --- Just thought you'd like to know.

A "Twist" is a Scrambled Eggs ride in the international version. The Gravitron is also called a Top Spin.

I think there are enough improvements/additions to the new RCT2 game that even those who are squawking here are gonna buy it. I don't think it looks that great but you can bet I'll be taking out whoever is trying to snag the last one at Best Buy so I can buy it.
I do agree with a few of you, though, the screen shots are terrible. My GRANDMOTHER could have designed a better park than whoever did these. The Arrow 4D looks pretty weak, too. The support structures from the original series really left a lot to be desired as well. Come on, if you are going to add a blessed ATM MACHINE you can at least change the support structures to look semi-real. Also, someone made a suggestion on this site a while ago that the train should have a crossing gate at path intersections. This is a great suggestion - I wonder if it's included..... Nonetheless, it will give us some new scenarios to try out instead of all those bogus volcano/glacier/desert scenarios included in the last one (I guess they didn't call it Loopy Landscapes for nothing). Come on, Chris, get with the real world.
Oh well, I guess we'll just have to buy the game, play it, and then complain to whoever will listen. There are worse things in life I guess.
