RCT 3 PC What new features would you want for Rollercoaster Tycoon 4?

It's all well and good saying 'I WANT ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON 4!!!, and I admit, I do, but lets talk about what new features we would want in the Game, and help the creators make it the best one yet. If you have any ideas, no matter how stupidly wierd :)p), or boringly sensible :)confused:) post them here. Here's some ideas to get your imaginative Rollercoaster Tycoon brains going :cool:

  • Ride buildings pre-built for you to put over your rollercoaster stations
  • Fastpass or Fastrack queues where peeps pay extra to skip the queue!
  • Railway barriers so that peeps can walk over certain parts of Mini Railway track and when a train comes along the barriers go down and stop peeps crossing"

To be honest, I'd quite like to see them really polish RCT3 and release a significant expansion pack rather than go for RCT4 straight off.

There are a whole host of little (and not so little) bugs and AI issues (peeps not seeming to use transport rides to get to places is one of my pet peeves) that could do with being squished. The terrain editor has a few quirks that could do with being ironed out as well.

Oh, I'd also like them to finish the different themes as well. Too many of them are incomplete.

In terms of big enhancements, I'd like to see a bezier-style track editor to allow for more free form editing of coasters. And possibly paths as well; but that's probably the most significant thing I'd like to see.

With a bunch of new scenarios, I think it would be worth the price of an expansion (say £15).
 
I agree with EntropicLqd. I would love to see a new RCT4 announced. I would buy it in a heart beat. But instead, if another expansion was made that addressed the problems that have been mentioned over at the Atari site (the list)and added more in an expansion to RCT3 as well. I would be just as eager to buy it as well. Michael made mention of another expansion at one point and time. He said water,animals,and a third park wish idea made a list on some forum(s)as most wantted in an RCT game. But I guess the lawsuit put an end to that happening. If RCT4 happened instead of a RCT3 third expansion I hope it includes everything we have already with RCT3 and the two expansions and expands on that. And I hope the guys at Frontier make it because I believe they are capable of making RCT3 or RCT4 the best it could be. I just wish Chris Sawyer or Atari or Infrogames or who ever has say so over this happening would let it happen:).

I agree

They need to fix a lot of things in RCT3, like the carousel speed as you zoom in on it or the double skywheel facing the wrong way or the SDC Polyp they named Octopus and that has no spinning Pods which defeats the purpose of a spider ride or the speed of the Loop-O-Plane or the Wipeout with a Starfish, how about the plain version for us? That is just the start but then again I don't think Michael wants to hear that old tune over and over again. Maybe we can get a chairlift that really works right etc...
 
Realistic Food Stalls, Well Done Canand!!! + here is an angry message from me!

I would like to see a Sideshows where you can play games on it and better rides and Food Stalls.
The ones in RCT3 are rubbish and unrealistic. Make resturants where the peeps actually sit down on a chair next to a table and eat thier food rather than walking around the park with the food in thier hands. Also with the 'Sideshows', nearly all theme parks have them, where peeps pay extra to play games to win prizes. And most theme parks pay to go in and the rides are free (at least in the UK where I am from). Why would anyone want to 'pay per ride'. You ought to be able to choose between the two [pay per ride and pay to get in and rides are free] Also more customisation of the rapids. They are just soBORING!!!!!!!!! So you people who are not talking about what features they want in RCT4 and talking about a stupid another expansion pack for RCT3, shut up! Everyone (except you) knows your wrong. This is my thread, I started it, so stop ruining it. And please, EVERYONE WHO READS THIS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR IDEAS!!! THANK YOU!
 
...This is my thread, I started it, so stop ruining it...
Strictly speaking the contents of the thread belongs to Frontier. Or at least that's the way I interpret the T's & C's of the forum anyway.

As for your other "issue" with a number of the posts; I'd rather Frontier finished RCT3 than worked on RCT4 just at the moment.

But hey, each to their own. It's just the same as me thinking that a lot of Sebar's complaints about the flat rides are pretty irrelevant. Just because I don't care, doesn't mean it's not a valid issue.

Anyway, I'll stop now lest I irritate you further.

YOU ALREADY DID IRRITATE ME FURTHER!
Yeah I know. I think it might be a hobby now. :D

I found another bug last night that I'd quite like fixed. The coaster designer in RCT3 doesn't honour the minimum and maximum waiting times. Which is fine most of the time, but when you are trying to design a coaster with 4 separate cars getting the timing right between them all is crucial.

I was not impressed.
 
If their was one thing I would wish for RCT4 it would be a land generator. I am the worlds worst at forming the land before I start placing rides.
Make this for the sandbox and scenario editor.

Land generator options would include slider controls for:

Amount of trees: Add or subtract amount placed,varieties
Amount of water: Randomly placed lakes,streams,and larger rivers.
Improved waterfalls: Automatically connects upper & lower bodies of water. Waterfalls are the most difficult things for me in RCT3.
Amount of elevation: Hills,mountains,valleys,canyons,etc.

To be able to form land maps and save them without having to do everything myself from scratch. Would make this game so much more fun to jump into and play. It would add to the creativeness for the not so professional RCT3 land building players to enjoy the game.:D
 
Would also like to see more animal anamatronics. I know if Wild was included in RCT4 we would have caged aniamals. But I would like wildlife anamatronics bears, rabbits, deer, moose, fish & frogs jumping, etc. And farm aniamal anamatronics horses, cows, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, goats, etc.. So we can create petting zoos/farms and more realistic outdoor wilderness areas.
 
Yeah

But real farm animals with a petting zoo. Also the landscape thing is a good idea too. Because when I build hills at the start of the game I ruin the hills with the rides, and when I don't I end up building a flat park!!!

This is almost like the Jurassic Park sim but even better
 
Food

I think that there should be food stands just outside rides and halfway through the rides, as they pass the food stall again, hot dogs(etc...) fire at the people who payed for them
:cool::p
