Featuring 14 roller coaster styles, 21 challenging scenarios, and a realistic physics engine, it offers deep strategic gameplay balancing creativity, business acumen, and guest satisfaction. Despite its vintage status, it remains a beloved title for fans of immersive park management and coaster design. ## Description desertcart.com Design your own roller coaster. Start with a tract of land, a few bucks in the bank, and the single-minded ambition of Donald Trump. Along the way you'll encounter all of the pratfalls of the typical real estate tycoon. From the Manufacturer Design and build the biggest, best, and scariest rides ever seen in any theme park. Create over 50 designs from the traditional wooden roller coaster to the high-tech Steel Corkscrew and the terrifying Reverse Freefall--all featuring accurately simulated motion dynamics. Fund the research and you will get the greatest rides current technology is capable of. Then charge the top prices to your visitors.RollerCoaster Tycoon gives you the ups, but also the downs: Why should people come to your park? Are the rides too expensive? Have you built enough food stalls? Do your amazing rides have a habit of breaking down too often? Climb or fall, boom or bust, you are in charge of it all: making sure the rides are safe, finding out what your guests are thinking, and giving them what they want--for the right price.

Now, Chris Sawyer, the developer behind the very addictive and somewhat zany Transport Tycoon, has developed a brand-new amusement park simulation, with an emphasis on creating funky new roller coasters. Since Theme Park is pretty much the only real competition, RollerCoaster Tycoon has the potential to capture a pretty good niche market - and for the most part, it succeeds. The premise is pretty simple: You must run a successful amusement park. RollerCoaster Tycoon offers a selection of 21 different scenarios, as well as a tutorial, for building your empire. In actuality, only five of the 21 scenarios are available at start-up - as you complete a portion of the initial scenarios more will become open to you. The scenarios typically involve either open or prebuilt amusement parks, challenging you to accomplish an objective, like achieving a certain attendance or profit goal. Like many games of its ilk - Sim City 3000, Transport Tycoon, even Theme Park - RollerCoaster Tycoon uses an isometric angle to view the overall map. The map has multiple zoom levels and can be rotated 90 degrees in either direction. A grid is superimposed on the terrain to provide a structured area to determine definite sizes of buildings, sidewalks, lakes, and so on. Manipulating the terrain and building or destroying structures costs money; these costs, along with other amusement park-related costs, are balanced against the revenues brought in by customers. You have the option of building a number of different structures to please your customers: thrill rides, roller coasters, mild rides, water rides, food vendors, souvenir stands, and even bathrooms. The big rides are the most interesting, and of course, most players will probably go straight for the roller coaster. Laying out the rides and concourses requires some skillful planning - you must place not only the rides, but the queuing area and entry gates as well. Lines for rides that spill out onto the concourse are not good for the moving traffic, and vomit-inducing rides (should you choose to keep them) might need a few strategic stalls nearby. At the outset, you only have access to the basic rides and vendors, but money and time put into research will earn you new types of amusements and technologies. As mentioned above, roller coasters are a big part of the game, and would-be designers will not be disappointed. You can custom-build your own coasters - including your own twists, turns, dips, runs, and so forth - to your heart's desire. Well, almost to your heart's desire. The problem, if you can call it that, is physics. RollerCoaster Tycoon uses a real-world physics algorithm to model its coasters accurately. If you build an all-wooden coaster track, with an 80-foot drop and a hairpin turn to the left, without angling the track properly, the cars will go flying off the track, and you can expect a reduction in attendance in the near future. Of course you can prevent all that by testing the tracks, which provides all sorts of statistical goodies. Like similar games, RollerCoaster Tycoon lets you access any number of the attendees wandering throughout the park. With this feature, you can tell if your arrangements and layouts are working or if a ride is just too much or just plain boring. All sorts of employees are available for hire. Rides will break down, requiring handymen. People hate standing in line, so you must hire entertainers. Crowds typically bring petty crime, requiring security. Another nice little feature is customization, which lets you name practically everything in the park to your liking. The sound effects are really good: People scream on roller coasters, and little motor cars sound like little motor cars. The sound is even positional, so when coaster passengers go from the left to the right side of the screen, their screams go from the left to the right speaker. Unfortunately, such a big and somewhat complex simulation doesn't come without problems. Graphically, RollerCoaster Tycoon is pretty good, with only a few clipping problems between animated objects and the terrain behind them. Some may find the depiction of elevation hard to cope with, and strangely enough, the game only runs at two speeds - stop and go - so when you're trying to manage your newest amusement park, time is ticking by, perhaps faster than you'd like. The roller coaster physics model is nice, but you must have a completed track to test it out properly. Finally, there are only 21 scenarios and no way to make more, and there's no generic "start from scratch and build till you drop" scenario either. RollerCoaster Tycoon is another fun management simulation from the mind of Chris Sawyer. One can only hope he continues to make games in the future - and with less time between them. --Alan Dunkin --Copyright Β©1998 GameSpot Inc. All rights reserved.

A lot of people have moved on to Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 & 3. I tried them, but I still love this one the best. It's personal preference, so I can understand if you want the newer versions. However, the graphics are great, and this one is design with intricate details, but it's simple to use it. I like the variety of landscapes, rides, etc. One thing I do not like is the fact that once people are bored with a certain ride, it's like the people in the game, will avoid it like the plague...that can be annoying for the maintenance of the park. One technical thing I do not like about this game, is that it is not compatible with newer computers, so you have to install a patch, which can sometimes result in you having to install unwanted toolbars and pop-up ads. Overall, this game is a great buy. Review: Classics are still awesome - So to all those people that have had this game or want to play it for the first time i say this to you.

This game is still awesome despite how old it may be its still fun and once you get into it its hard to stop playing. i have gone at least 5 to 6 straight playing it and i truly enjoy it. but then again i have loved this game for a long time and the only reason i got a semi new copy was because i misplaced my old one. so no matter what is said about this i well tell you this it is a great game if your looking to pass the time and like building roller coasters. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Favorite Game *by D***N on August 5, 2013* If you want to have almost an endless good time playing a game, purchase the original Roller Coaster Tycoon. I have Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 and 3 also, but I definitely like the original the best. The game starts out with 5 scenarios - different sizes and shapes of park land - with different goals for each park. As you complete each objective, a new park is unlocked, so you always have 5 new parks to choose from. Two examples of goals are: β€œTo have 250 guests in your park at the end of October, Year 1,” and β€œTo achieve a park value of at least $20,000 at the end of October, year 3.” It also has a tutorial. There are many types of rides from ferris wheels to log rides to giant roller coasters - already designed or you can design your own. It is great fun and can be addictive! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/4052189-roller-coaster-tycoon-pc](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/4052189-roller-coaster-tycoon-pc) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
