Amazon.com Review: Want to build an empire without all the usual bloodshed? Try RollerCoaster Tycoon, which puts you in total control of a theme park, managing every detail from ride development to rescuing lost guests.
A simulator in the style of SimCity, this game has a simple enough concept: build a park attractive enough to draw in hoards of tourists and then separate them from their hard-earned money. This is accomplished by researching and building rides, along with amenities, gardens and decorations. Once you have your infrastructure, and the staff to maintain it, it's time to sit back and watch the funds roll in...all in hopes of building an even bigger rollercoaster somewhere else!
The big draws in a theme park, the coasters are expensive and flashy. They lure in thrill-seeking guests prepared to pay top dollar for a wild ride. RollerCoaster Tycoon even allows you to design the coasters yourself, a finicky but ultimately rewarding operation.
Despite a clunky interface and the usual simulator drawbacks--such as long waits while you acquire funds for the next ride--RollerCoaster Tycoon is an utter gem of a game. Its soundtrack, a mix of calliope music and ride machinery, is mixed with the sound of guests squealing with delight and terror as the coasters hurl them around. The sound mix is joyfully evocative, and you can almost smell the cotton candy and the popcorn.
Best of all, you can play in this theme park for hours without once losing your children or friends, getting sore feet or experiencing motion sickness. --Alyx Dellamonica
Amazon.com Product Description: 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.

Rating: - An awesome theme park experience!
Roller Coaster tycoon is the best tycoon game i have played so far! It has great features and you can play it for hours and hours on end without getting bored of it...
There are many themeparks each with is objective you must meet...the first ones are simple, the year goes form March through October in which you must earn money from the entrance fee and the ride fees...
You can click on each of the people in your theme park and it will tell you how happy they are, what they are thinking, what they are carrying, etc...
Your rides can be built from a set ride or you can create it from scratch...build it as long as you want, as high as you want, as intense and fun as you want, and it will even tell you how nauseating it will be...
You can fix up your theme parks with fountains, statues, trees, bushes, pavement, etc...many different options that unlock as you go along....rides and stalls are also unlocked the more you play...you can build the theme park exactly how you want it...
Overall this game is extremely exciting, very managable, you pass the time very fast, and you never get bored!!
