Day and Night
Things are different after the sun goes down –– the stars come out, the lights come on and the
coasters get scary. At night the park needs to be teen-friendly, but during the day, your park needs to
appeal to families.The challenge is finding a happy balance.
Improved Coaster Construction and Game Controls
RollerCoaster Tycoon
®
3 offers new ease-of-use features, such as coaster construction auto–complete,
and improved game controls including a new dashboard interface to maximize the information avail-
able to you while maintaining an unobstructed view of your amusement park.
Fireworks MixMaster
™
Tantalize your guests with a dazzling fireworks show.And not just any show,but one you’ve created
using the new Fireworks MixMaster
™
, an easy to use editing tool that allows you choreograph daz-
zling pyrotechnic wonders synchronized to your own music library.
PhotoStory 3 and Photo Spots
You can now place Photo Spots near your favorite scenery creations, allowing the peeps to stop and
pose while the group leader takes a snapshot. If you created a group in the Peep Designer, their
snapshots are saved to your My Pictures folder (found within your my Documents folder) where you
can create a multimedia presentation using
PhotoStory 3, which comes bundled with RollerCoaster
Tycoon
®
3. (For complete information about using Photo Story 3, see Photo Story 3 for Windows Help.)
Coasters From RollerCoaster Tycoon
®
and RollerCoaster Tycoon
®
2
RollerCoaster Tycoon
®
3 is backward compatible with the user-created coasters from RollerCoaster
Tycoon
®
and RollerCoaster Tycoon
®
2. So any coaster you created in the previous games can be
loaded and enjoyed in your new parks.You no longer have to imagine what it would be like to ride
the favorite coasters you created.
Note: Some coasters may not work properly due to differences
in how costers are represented in 2D and how they are constructed in 3D. See page 83 for more
information.
