RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 – New Details News

Not only will you be able to “ride the rides”, but also create your own firework displays and synch them to your music…
Atari today released new details on the forthcoming RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, currently under the careful guidance of David Braben at Frontier Developments.
As fans will know the game incorporates a full 3D engine for the first time in the series, allowing players to actually âride the ridesâ; however now fans will also be able to design their own firework displays that can be choreographed to the music of your choice.
Utilising the new Fireworks MixMaster players can now create firework shows by either placing pre-built firework displays anywhere in the park, or create your own display by using many firework styles ranging from rockets and air bombs to flairs and fountains. The firework displays can be used to appeal to guests in the park â“ the happier they are the more money they will spend â“ and to attract new visitors by advertising the firework attraction as another reason to visit the park.
In addition to customized music for fireworks shows, music can also be attached to any coaster or ride in the park. However, unlike previous RollerCoaster Tycoon games, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 will let players pick tunes from their own music library in a range of popular music formats - or even use tunes they've recorded themselves - and attach them to rides and attractions in the parks they have created. Players will also be able to place "speaker objects" in the park and assign songs or sound effects, matching audio and visual themes and giving the park a more immersive feel.
The brand new night cycle including night, dawn, dusk, moon, and stars included in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, will challenge players to create the ultimate night time amusement park experience by adding lights to coasters, rides and pathways. Players will need to use different strategies to attract adults, teenagers and children to their park and discover how they explore the park in groups and at different times of day. Sunny, rainy, windy, hot and cold weather effects also give players challenges to keep their guests happy whatever the weather.
"The RollerCoaster Tycoon series has millions of devoted fans who have provided many great ideas for new features they want to see in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3," said David Braben, Chairman of Frontier Developments. "The Fireworks MixMaster in the new game is one that we are very proud of and feel really captures the fun spirit of the franchise - allowing players to fully design and customize every aspect of their dream amusement park."
