Which one of the R.C.T. games is better?? If I
had to pick one it would be R.C.T.2 because you
get to make your own park levels and beat them
yourself or have a friend try to beat it. Also you
get to make your own scenario in the scenario maker
and design your own track in the track designer.
r.c.t. is cool but the second one is way better[:D]

Still a classic that hopefully wont be forgotten! The old RCT was one of my first PC coastergames after RC Factory and Sim Themepark for Playstation

RCT2 is much better IMO, the rides are modeled after real coaster types unlike rct

RCT 2 is bether because it has everything from RCT 1, pluss all the new things. But when we see how how much bether the new things has made the game compared to RCT 1 I think RCT1 is bether. But ofcourse I play RCT2. Hope you understood this, if not tell me;)

BTW: The Scenario editor is crap.

RCT1 had more coaster optins like LIMs and tire launches but I can't understand why they'd take that GREAT feature out.[:(!]The only reason the senario editors crap is caus you can't build rides to make your senario pre-set with rides. But what you do is build it, then once you have everything goin' he way you want it to, convert that saved game to a senario. That is just my understanding of it.

BTW, Only get Wacky Worlds if you want senery and themed rides. If you're expecting new coaster types and more flat rides, I STRONGLY recommend not getting it. If you're expecting more rides it is a waste of money to get it. I think it is pretty cool because the senarios you get have themed rides that match the park theming. Overall, I think it's cool if you like a little bit o fantasy with reality.

I personally like RCT2 more because u can save a ride with theming and SFMM's in there. Well, it's missing a few rides though.

yeah, they make the rides there missing on purpose, so you can try to rebuild the park on your own. Check the trophy thing[;)]

RCT2 rocks just because it does. it has new music...one of the songs played in rct2 is one of the songs our organist played @ our church.

That's interesting...I thought RCT music was all fairground music. Oh well. Maybe not. And for those of you who have RCT 2...one of the Merry-Go-Round sound loops is pure static! It bugged the crap out of me looking for the static noise! So, if you hear static, go to your Merry-Go-Round, click on 'Sounds' and un-check then re-check play music and it will be back to normal.

I just investigated this and after being at church, the 'Organ Style' music in RCT 2 is Tocatta in F written by Johann Sebastian Bach. (Not to be confused with Tocatta & Fugue in D Minor, also by Bach) [:P]

There is my music $.02 for today. [lol]

I assume that the rest of the music on there are real songs too? I've heard several of the merry go round songs on tv b4 when a merry go round was shown
