Summary: Fun and addictive
Review: This game is very addictive. From the first time I played it at a friends house, I knew I had to own it. It mixes the real life challenges of operating a theme park with the creativity of your imagination. You can literally be control of everything, especially when you buy the expansion pack. This is truly a classic game (such as the Sim City Series) that everyone must own.

Summary: Nice game... but maybe TOO realistic!
Review: "Roller Coaster Tycoon" is a really fun game where kids can design their own amusement park complete with rides, food stalls, souvenier stands, and much more! You start off by choosing where you want your park to be. Some choices include Bumbly Beach, Forest Frontiers, Diamond Heights, Dynamite Dunes, and many more. (at the beginning you start off woth five choices for your amusement park setting) Each setting has a goal. For example, you may have to have 650 guests in your park by October, year 3, with a park rating of at least 600. You can name your park, charge admission fees, pick rides (as you progress more choices are available), put footpaths and sidewalks, hire staff, and put food stalls and rest rooms. But beware- you only start off with ten thousand dollars! To earn more money you need to depend on guests and profits from the food and rides! The more successful your park is, the more new rides and attractions are available for you! After you meet your goal, new scenery is available for your park. My only problem with the game is that it's WAY too realistic. One time one of my roller coasters actually crashed, causing deaths of everyone who was on the ride! Another time I built a ride over the water and forgot to put a path leading from the exit, so guests actually drowned! (stupid me!) Plus, your staff dosn't always listen to you. (Not to mention you need to pay them every month!) I once spent nearly an hour trying to get one of my mechanics to fix a ferris wheel! Overall, Roller Coaster Tycoon is a wonderful game, and very fun to play, but the realism is a little too real!

Review: I just want to say this is a really great addicting game! You build your own theme park and in the process have to meet certain goals. There are plenty good rides and stalls you can purchase for your park and you can set advertising and research funds. Overall, through this short review, I am truly pleased with the quality of this game and would suggest it for anyone!

Summary: So much fun!!!!!!
Review: If you're looking for a game where you can create your own theme park, this is the one for you! SimCoaster is okay, but this is THE rollercoaster game of the century. In Rollercoaster Tycoon, you can build your own theme park in different scenarios. There are tons of rollercoaster styles that are fun to build. Plus there are lots and lots of other awesome rides to put in your theme park. This game is not very difficult, it's just a fun game. Hire policemen, handymen, mechanics, and entertainers to keep your park together & upbeat. Watch visitors ride the exciting and wild rides. Plus more. This is a very fun & addictive game that I reccomend to anyone of any age. Get this today!

Summary: Worth the Ride
Review: Pros: Very addictive...you create the whole theme park from scratch and its very easy to learn how. You can hear what EACH of your customers are thinking (and you can have over 500 customers in your park at one time!!) and so can reinvent your park as many times as you like to please your customers. Because this game is a simulation game, you can save the game as many times as you wish and start it up again whenever you have time. And it starts from YEAR 1 and continues on forever....
Cons: All your customers have the same face and stature (just different clothes). They also all appear to be male. Very little differenciations when it comes to people.

Summary: RCT #1 Buy it and Enjoy it !
Review: Very fun game , many parks and rides. Some of them are easy , some are hard and its all pretty great. You hire people to take care of your park but they don't always do it. The hired help are Sec. Officers (you will eventually need them) , Handymen (you will deffinately need them), Mechanics (You will so need them) , and Entertainers (get them if you want them). The roller coasters are great , loops , twists , boosters , on-ride photos(extra cash! YEAH!) and drops. It's all awesome! The in-between rides are::: gentel rides like merry-go-rounds , slides , dodgem cars and simple car rides. Thrill Rides like Scramled Eggs , Swinging ships , Launced Freefalls , and Go Karts. Water Rides such as water slides and boat rides. Traveling Rides like monorails , trains and chair lifts. Then you have Shop Stalls like french fries, sodas , cotton candy , souviner stalls , restrooms , info kiosks and restrooms. You should have a pretty entertaining time playin the game. ENJOY!

Summary: The Various Features and ease of use
Review: This game is a good game for those who are into the Sim games such as Sim Mania, Sim Golf, etc. It has a wide variety of features to make the game more realistic. These features include a selection of various scenarios to play, researching rides and attractions, design and build your own ride, ride break downs, vandalism, litter, and financial graphs and information. One thing that I do not like about the game is the fact that you are unable to ride the rides you create like you are able to do in Sim Theme Park. This game does not take up many system resources and comes with all the required software that is needed to play. Overall, I gave Roller Coaster Tycoon four out of five stars.

Summary: This is a Great Game!
Review: I am 9 years old. I really liked this game. It was actually my little brother's, but he never played it. At first, we couldn't figure it out, but then I did figure it out, and I started playing it on my little brother's computer, where it was installed. I reallly liked it, so my dad installed it on my computer. I don't recommend it for younger kids because it would be too complicated for them. It is pretty realistic, people bring different amounts of money, there are food and drink stands, and bathrooms, and you have to get loans to start building your park that you can pay back later. You have to hire people to work in your park. The people throw up ALL THE TIME, you can build lots of different kinds of rides, they even blow up sometimes and kill the people. You can also move the people around. Another way to kill the people is to put them in water and make them drown. You have to build paths for the people to walk on. You can even move the ground up and down. There is a limit to how high and how low you can make things, though. The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't make your park extremely big. This is a fun game to play over and over again.
PS from Conrad's mom: The Kids Review link does not work, so I am allowing Conrad to post this as an adult.

Summary: A Computer Game with Old-Fashioned Fun
Review: This is a fun game that lets you play your own amusement park, within settings ranging from easy to difficult. Most of the attractions are ready made (e.g., water rides, thrill, rides, slow rides, roller coasters, food and drink stands, etc.), but you can also build your own roller coaster-one track at a time.The game encourages creativity and (especially) planning, a la "Sim City." Each scenario has its own challenges, such as uneven terrain, building from scratch or redesigning an old behemoth; and achieving goals in number of customers, satisfaction, and/or profit within a given time period. Hint: It pays to advertise. It takes a while (maybe a month or more, except for experienced simulation gamers) to learn the construction and feedback icons, but these are helpful and fairly complete. My only complaint is that it is very difficult to build your own roller coaster; youngsters will probably need help. In fact, grownups will need patience as well: I once built a track that worked and where the tracks made a circuit (no mean feat in itself), but customers wouldn't try it because the nausea rating was too high. However, this challenge also increases the appropriate age range of those who will enjoy the game. Good documentation, but be patient-after repeated playing you'll play better, use more of the tools, and probably enjoy it more.
