This game made me fall in love with the Tycoon genre.
There is something tranquil and mesmerizing about building your park piece by piece, watching guests enjoy your rides, which you carefully built to fit in the scenarios to look pretty.
Setting up prices to your rides, shops, hell, even bathrooms but don't do that .
And watching that $ balance go up.
Keeping your park clean, raising your janitors salary to keep them happy.
Hire mascots, that fit in with your park's theme.
This and more; one of the best Tycoon games ever made, coupled with the Wild! and Soaked! expansions, which add respectively the ability to make zoos and aquaparks... it just never stops giving.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 has surpassed my expectations in the best of ways. For when I was going into this game, I was under the assumption it was gonna be bad; being the third game in a series that started in the 90s, making its big leap into 3D while transitioning to early 2000s game design principles and expectations. However, as it terns out, Atari was able to produce something amazing within all those boarders. Taking everything from the first two, transitioning it to 3D perfectly, and building on ever single aspect of these games to make an amazing combinations of systems. It is really a shame that this game is not talked about as much when put next to its precursors. Not being put in the bundle collection on steam will do that I suppose, but still. Make a note to play this if you enjoy tycoon games, this does not disappoint.
i understand why people find this to be the weakest point in the series but i really just can’t get over the beautiful, awfully goofy 3d aesthetics of this game, the surreal imagery of the figures ethereally drifting through the park, and how above all of its dated tendencies it still manages to feel so smooth, user interface is fantastic and the POV function is an absolute game changer, genuinely a better game than planet coaster BECAUSE of its dorkiness
