I will be 30 years old on Friday. I remember being 12 years old back in 1999/2000 begging my father to buy me RCT .....then in 2004 when I was 18 I went and bought RCT3 ...Up until this very day that is my favorite game of all time. Well NOW PC is my favorite game of all time. Over the years I've constantly googled and searched to see if there would be a RCT4 . I gave up hope after about 10 years lol. I am simply amazed by how you have given us a game that is not finished yet but gives us all what we wanted times 10. Even as I look at the original PC trailer, your team has revamped and improved what you gave us in the trailer and went a different direction giving us more realism , better graphics , and much more detail then ever before. Im ever so grateful because although im going to be 30 , my inner theme park enthusiast and adrenaline junkie can be unleashed as the big kid inside of me feels the same way I did back when I was 12. Somehow this brings back memories and a soft spot. Almost like tasting your moms home cooking from when you were a child.


lol I just wanted to thank you for all you do [heart][yesnod][up][happy]

Sums up how I feel. I was only eight when a friend of mine invited me over to play RCT1 for the first time and I ran home and begged my parents to buy it for me, as well as the sequel just a few months later.

A few years later I spent all my Christmas money buying RCT3 and I must have booked 150 hours in the few weeks that followed my purchase, constantly drawing coaster schematics in class and dreaming of park layouts when I was away from my desk.

Pretty much everyone at frontier seems really passionate and laid back not "businessy" like other companies. I love this game, we all do and welcome to the community. Best game and community ever we got here.

i think there are a few hundred here who feel the same way.
sometimes i just sit in my chair staring at the screen saying "wow" to noone at all.
PC really is a work of art.

I just setup a triple monitor setup (3x Dell U2414H) in my room and my reaction was nothing short of that "wow." [woah]

I feel the same way. I was so excited when I discovered RCT1. I have played each game on release and love them all. I would spend school daydreaming about parks I want to build. Planet Coaster has brought back that feeling.

Now we spend our work lunch break on the forums and the rest of the work day thinking about next park creation.

Ha---snap - 46 years old and still this is my favourite genre......

I had RCT3 back when it came out but my PC ( and just about everyone's PC's back then ) didn't have the power to really create the size and complexity of parks we wanted back then. But I kept my copies and as I upgraded my PC's grew into the game. I just can't help but keep coming back to that game...but PC may be just the one game to help me move on from RCT3 and start my addiction fresh again!!

Have to agree that this game is awesome ! But I have most of you beat in time playing these games . I'm 53 and have been playing them as far back as on a old DOS program . Keep up the great work .

Oh yeah...The original Bullfrog game 'Theme Park' - had a right old time getting that to run in DOS - back then you more often than not had to configure your own config files to get games to run, most didn't run in windows 3.1.......what fun [noob] [rolleyes]

I, too, turn 30 this year... and have often felt somewhat nostalgic as regards growing up with RCT. I remember receiving RCT3 as a birthday present from my flatmate "way back when", and I still have the pristine original DVD in its box.

That's why I had to get my hands on not only RCTW but also Planet Coaster.

Off-topic, I know, but RCT is right up there in my all-time favourites alongside Transport Tycoon Deluxe (and its modern equivalent OpenTTD that I still play today).
Classics in every sense of the word :)

Seeing you guys mention that just really brought back memories.

I turned 30 last week, and celebrated by watching Friends "The one where they all turn 30" and playing RCT3. No joke.

I grew up on DOS games (Commander Keen and Space Quest) and have played every RCT game, and I would like to add my thanks and appreciation to this thread. I, too, lost hope for a sequel to RCT3 over the years. I am not in the Alpha (yet) but watching the videos alone has revived the ol' park-building spirit. I cannot wait to see what everyone is making and building and planning.

I remember first seeing my brother play Theme Park when I was about 5 years old. I was fascinated! I had never even been to a real theme park at this point. I finally played it in my early teens, along side RCT1, (my brother was mean and wouldn't let me play) [cry]
