After the original spent years at the top of the charts, Roller Coaster Tycoon II will hit shelves this fall. New features include a tuned ride creation system for more control while building roller coasters and scenery, new shops and stores to help raise player’s profits in their parks, new park themes to help gamers attract new customers to their theme parks and a scenario editor with which gamers can create their own park challenges.
Read more from the press release from Infogrames.

What made RCT 1 (I love adding that 1 at the end) so popular is how incredibly simple but in depth the engine was.
All of these improvements every one suggests are great but what would make my day more than anything else would be a brand new engine that takes advantage of Windows and is just as simple. Even if Chris doesn't add one new feature or attraction, if he makes RCT II more windows oriented (sorry Mac fans) it would be worth it. If RCT II is more Windows oriented, the user could take advantage of a full color pallette, and be able to import and export media. But most of all, this means that the user could minimize and maximize the game window with much greater ease. Imagine RCT II running in the background and talking on AIM at the same time, and being able to easily switch back and forth. Chris can easily add options to pause the game when the user minimizes the screen, or a shortcut key for full screen mode etc.
Besides that, a sandbox mode would be nice :)

Ohh it's definitely possible to run RCT 1 and other stuff as well, but is it easy? My point is that I hope the sequal will be more like a traditional windows application like Flight Simulator, and not in the windows shell.
