Once you have all the expansion packs, I'm pretty sure you can do all that. I've made coasters go underground, but tried nothing else yet.

depends what AA/AF settings you're using surely? If you're not then something's not right. Runs at a steady 60 on decent kit unless you're placing a coaster blueprint which seems to hammer the FPS.

Just started playing this. The soaked expansion is awesome, just finished building a huge pool complex with slides etc, then next to it some shark tanks etc with an underwater network of tunnels for the guests.

PiKe · 21 Jun 2007 at 16:02

Could you not put the slides, into the shark tanks?

Streeteh · 21 Jun 2007 at 16:14

Unfortunately not, the sharks are part of the aquarium, which is built in the same manner as a rollercoaster (ie a track for the guests to follow). Whereas the pool system is done via a tiling method and then you can attach slides to it.

Just got Rollercoaster Tycoon 3: Platinum.

Any tips?

Yes, I know I am a little late to the party but I hear it is a VERY good game.

Personally, i dont think you can beat the first game. However, it no longer likes to work on XP so im stuffed.

RCT2 was pants and ive never been able to get the same enjoyment from the 3rd as i did from the 1st.

Same, but I persisted with the third and got into it. The only thing that bugs me is that the land can be adjusted infinitely, and this sometimes means that paths look ok, but actually one section is 2mm higher than the next, and no-one can walk across :rolleyes:

Azza · 31 Dec 2009 at 12:59

RCT2 is the best for me.

I just can't get into RCT3 at all.

malachi · 31 Dec 2009 at 13:07

I would love to buy this again as I lent out RCT3 and never for it back. Shame its not avaliable on Steam for UK purchase.

is rct3 on steam for download? rct2 was so addictive even if it's only a moderate improvement on it i reckon it will be definitely worth a punt

This.
With the exception of No Limits just for building rollercoasters.
