More Interactive Water Fun for Rollercoaster Fans
Posted on June 10, 2005
Who would have ever thought there would be a third version of a game that lets you build rollercoasters and amusement parks? Well, there is. Atari's RollerCoaster Tycoon, which recently went into its third edition, now also has a new expansion pack. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Soaked!, the first expansion pack for RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, is due out on June 21.
Apparently people love building virtual water parks and rollercoaster rides because the NPD Group says that RollerCoaster Tycoon is the top-selling tycoon franchise, having sold nearly nine million units life-to-date worldwide, and since 1995, becoming the second best selling PC game of all time in the U.S. The new expansion pack includes 50 new rides and coasters, many of which are built around a water park theme, including swimming pool complexes, massive water slides and wave pools.
The pack also includes new interactive water features like firing water cannons at park guests and a new interactive water-based coaster called The Roller Soaker. You can also create wildlife exhibits including performing dolphins, killer whale shows, and customizable aquariums.
Here's the trailer:
