Judging from the demo:
Camera view was annoying, making rollercoasters was more difficult if I recall too.
It just didn't feel as special as 1 and 2.
Tycoon Games - Where have they gone?

The UI and bugs! I spent a whole night trying to lay a path to my coaster. The game seemed to lay one continuous path but it actually laid loads of different separated paths.
Making a building was so slow and so difficult to edit and change it. I previously played The Sims 2 and it was so easy and fun. The process in RCT3 seemed was so slow and tortuous by comparisons
I recall in the zoo expansion the peeps kept on clipping into the cages and getting stuck. You had to continuously rescue them. That got old real fast.
Also, didn't like any of the scenarios built in. I downloaded a loads of the original scenarios and started rebuild my old park until the bugs and horrible UI got me
Finally, it had a whole deja-vu fell. Having played the original to death doing it all again but in 3D wasn’t enough for get over the said bugs and UI.

I loved RCT3
Here I was thinking I was the only one.
Transport 2 Tycoon, used to have to launch it through some kind of MS DOS window, then type in the codes because my version wouldn't start properly straight out of the box. I think I still have it somewhere, but it doesn't work at all anymore.
I had it on XP too, need to try and get it on Vista, it's still fun now
RCT was awesome too, I didn't like any of the sequals though

I never really got on with Locomotion... It seemed to make it worse by going '3D', I used to spend hours on Transport Tycoon, even more so with OpenTTD because of the bigger maps... Locomotion is just 'meh' in comparison!
I used to play Railway tycoon 1&2 a lot, RT3 just spoiled it for me. I used to play a game which for the life of me i can not remember the game. You used land, air and sea to transport your goods you owned factories,shops fast food joints produced lumber to steal to end product items like cars and furniture. I was hooked on it.
TTD is better but I've got too used to variable radious curves, overhead stations and underground
