I really don't follow gaming and didn't even know there was going to be and RCT3. Will it have SF parks again? SFGAm? This may be a dumb question, but I don't follow gaming that much.

It will be in 3D. It will include night and day settings, fireworks mixmaster, new rides and attractions, coaster cam, and tons of other new things. It sounds great.

There's a preveiw on the roller coaster tycoon website. I really hpoe that it is as good as RCT2 because the preview didn't do much for me.

MEH RCT2 was mediocre, could have done so much better......

They said sometime before the Holidays this fall/winter. But the date will probably chage, just like most games.
