"RollerCoaster Tycoon" Description

It's not all about rollercoasters. "RollerCoaster Tycoon" is about the entire theme park. Food, bathroom, souveniors, lines, and upgrading rides need attention, along with designing thrilling rollercoasters. The basics stay the same throughout the series. Each edition adds different types of rides and more controls for each ride and shop.

"RollerCoaster Tycoon" Series History

Chris Sawyer is the mastermind behind the "RollerCoaster Tycoon" series, though he wasn't a part of the development of "RollerCoaster Tycoon 3." In 1999, the first in the series was released. Collections of each edition and their expansions followed. Ten years later, no one has been able to create a theme park sim nearly as entertaining as "RollerCoaster Tycoon."
