It just occured to me that no one has mentioned anything about RCT3. I play it all the time.... or at least when possible lol. So do any of yall play this or used to play it?

I play it in my free time. Very fun, although I prefer No Limits for coaster creation.

^ Yea if I'm specifically designing a coaster, then I'll use NoLimits. For a theme park.... I go aaaaaaall out in RCT3 lol. I make so many dark rides and heavily themed roller coasters on that game lol.

Oh man! RTC is my favorite game hands down! lol.

I agree with Daniel too. When I’m in the mood for designing a nice park layout with simple game play (without the rendering hassles), then I’ll play RTC 1&2. When I’m in the mood for a more immersive experience, I’ll play RTC3. Because of the memory of my machine, I can’t make large parks on RTC3 like I can on RTC 1&2. I also like the expansion packs on RTC2 better. Can’t beat the Art Deco & 50’s rock’n roll theming found in the “Time Twister” pack!

Some imaginary parks I made with Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 were:

Columbia Pictures Palace (inspired by the studio parks)
Feature ride: Apollo 13: The ride (“Houston, we have a problem”) - A B&M dive machine coaster with a space theme. Actually, I’d like to see a real attraction based on this movie but as a motion simulator.

King’s Emporium (inspired by Kings Dominion) includes a crazy replica of the Eiffel Tower in the center of the park.
Feature ride: The Yeti – A mine train ride “inspired” by Expedition Everest. A Mine Train goes up, around and through a mountain in search of the Yeti. I was eventually able to add some fog effects/custom scenery from a fansite.

I know that Shyguy’s World has some has some awesome custom scenery. I was amazed at the custom Disney/ “Main Street” sets there. I just wished that RCT3 was able to integrate custom elements as easily as say the Sims 2 game.

Many times my RTC3 games crashed with custom scenery. It could have been errors on my part with installation and/or my computer’s memory. However, after much frustration, I took out the custom scenery all together and things worked well again.

^ Huge custom scenery buff here. Very familiar with shyguy's scenery too. I hate the fact that I can't do more with RCT3 because of the lag. I would be on that game 24/7 if it were less or no lag.
