Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 sucks, it has a horrible interface. The cartoonish graphics of RCT2 were much better in my opinion.

Do the passengers have to survive the trip?

Hmm design a ride in the Hershey Park. I guess they already have a log ride.

What if you're already done with college?

This is nothing. Last week's contest was: Design a College Campus and receive a free roller coaster ride.
 
2005-07-29 05:07:39 PM
100k for college? Yea, maybe for books.

I hate contests these days. It used to be that Instant Winner meant it said "TEH INSTANT WINNAR!!!11!!!" in the product packaging, not a stupid code that you would have to go online with. And of course, before you can find out if you're a winner, you have to supply all your personal information. Sorry, my identity is worth more than the massive odds of not winning anything. I get ENOUGH credit card offers as-is.

I thought the idea was good but the implementation sucks. It's too cumbersome to really be much fun.

We'll give you 100,000 for college and a gaming package to help you ruin the opportunity we gave you!
 
2005-07-29 05:11:31 PM
The official rules don't say anything about the winner having to use the $100,000 for college. It just says the winner gets a check. Awesome.

I'm on it!
 
2005-07-29 05:14:12 PM


I love this game. I don't even play the career mode. Just the sandbox mode, which lets you build and build and build...
 
2005-07-29 05:14:49 PM
Sorry SoCalChris, I didn't see that you had already mentioned it.

Hershey Hates Canadians.
 
2005-07-29 05:40:36 PM
So what will the ride be called?...i guess the Hershey Highway is a natural.
 
2005-07-29 05:45:43 PM
I wonder if it's cheating to use a motion system to help design the roller coaster...

Me?

This is my design. Took a lot of work.

Designing DRACHENFIRE at Busch Garden's Williamsburg will have you laughed out of the competition.

Big fast rollercoaster, Big whiplash injuries.

I really enjoyed RCT, though most of the fun was making rides that let me to raise the start boost to cause... bad... things to happen. :) Then I'd undo it, drop the ride to have $.10 or free admission, let a line queue up, then have another accident.

Can't remember if I tried RCT2, obviously never looked at RCT3...
 
2005-07-29 05:56:26 PM
let me to raise?

Me fail English? That unpossible!
 
2005-07-29 06:07:43 PM
I had some rather unsavory ideas for how this new rollercoaster could be designed, but let's just leave it at my chosen name for the beast: Chocolate Thief.
 
2005-07-29 06:09:52 PM
You kids like those extreme coasters, right? So for the win:
 
2005-07-29 06:12:31 PM
i still play coaster from time to time on my p100. it still amuses me to get the people all freaked out looking.
 
2005-07-29 06:18:38 PM
Any Ultimate Ride fans? I still get a kick out of that one.
 
2005-07-29 06:21:41 PM
got RCT2 and 3.... prefer 2... 3 is ok...

can't download that farking ride editor thingy mentioned on the subsequent hershey site nonesense..... grrr.. or am I doing the right thing by just giving that a monumental miss?

my computer is to crappy to run the RCT3 demo. Is there anyway I can get like $700, win the competition and collect the other 99,300 afterwards?
 
2005-07-29 06:35:59 PM
Id like to see a rollercoaster that fakes the roller coaster derailing, that would actually scare me.

Start->__________________->Finish

On special occasions, we'll re-tool the machinery to make it run backwards!
 
2005-07-29 06:38:09 PM
Uh, I tend to prefer my rollercoasters to be designed by people whom have graduated college. Preferably with "A"s
 
2005-07-29 06:45:45 PM

Much more fun for designing coasters than RCT3's craptastic interface.

/and I've been designing Disney Coaster since it came on ONE 3.5" floppy.
 
2005-07-29 07:00:06 PM
Mortal Comedy:

You could make it a water ride and call it "Hershey Squirt"

You too? I still have mine. Ahh... nostalgia.
 
2005-07-29 08:23:39 PM
disney coaster was fun... i could never figute it out though

they always liked the 1 second flat square (just turn, turn, turn, turn, end) better than any coaster i could make
 
2005-07-29 09:32:57 PM
oh well... Mac users
 
2005-07-29 10:14:07 PM
Yyyyno.

You're a pale, furless imitation of the original Monkeyboy.

My 9 year old is a farking master at RC1 and RC2. He can build circles around me. The interface on RC3 has terribly disappointed us...but still...he'd probably love the chance to submit something to this.
 
2005-07-30 12:28:48 AM
What? Not even a No Limits (pops) reference?

Best one I saw done with that was a large cube style design, where the coaster ran along the insides of the cube in all directions.

Think the old arcade game Locomotion in 3D.

No kidding!! I freaking hated Drachenfire. I once got off the ride and my neck was bleeding...my head was ping-ponged between the overhead brace and it rammed my earring into my neck.

Per my fiance, your ride would have to be a log flume.
 
2005-07-30 04:41:52 AM
I have a friend who will love this. He is addicted to RC3.

RCT3 is fun. If there was ever a contest for naming coasters with absolutely wierd names, I think I have that one figured out. hough most of them are actually quite disgusting :).

The program is fun but not serious. Had been corresponding with acoasdter designer, and his program of choice is Excel.

might have to jump in, just on general principles. Maybe they might like about my coaster model in the house....
(I do recommend sitting down before viewing)
