I saw a post on the forums about a new expansion pack coming out in June so I went hunting for a link to confirm that... And I did find one at ebgames [:)]

Its called Cape Typhoon... Might be more but EBGames cut it off. Is this going to be a WW//TT? or will be a GREAT expansion pack... We'll have to wait for screens

figures! As soon as they come out with a new game, ppl are looking for a new expansion pack just to complain about the expansion pack then look eagerly onward towards a new expansion pack.

sounds like a nice pack, i hope it will include some more and better screnery cause with this scenery it actually kinda sucks. Also i hope then in that expension are more things fixed that give the game a better experience to play. More types of coasters are always welcome to me. Some special coasters that are actually under devlopment would be nice. Like they added that tilt coaster and the trill lift. both actually a prototype.
We will see what the expansion will bring. [:)]

Hey, guys, check this :http://www.ina-community.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=445321

That aught to tell frontier and atari something. (that they'd better get working on the next pack and not add/do poop with it like they did in RCT3 and RCT2 WW/TT)

im all for an rct3 expansion, even if it is so crappy... it would give some clues as to how to hack it, and if the exe would need to be changed.

if one comes out, before you install it, click on the rct3 exe file (hightlight it, dont open it) and see when it was last modifyed, and after you install it, then see when it was last modifyed, if it has changed, then it would make it very hard to hack. as unlike rct2, it would mean you have to update the source code in the exe to get any external addons to operate. which is un-cool. so yeah, altho expansions might be crappy, they help alot on helping people hack games...

^ if people complain enough, they'll make it where you can mod it easily, they'll probably even make a program where you can make your own rides, and scenery, and crap.
As for the guy who said that RCT is all about roller coasters, I laughed histarically. He obviously has never heard of SM or NL. And with that new flat ride game, RCT 3 would be crap, if it wasn't for its easy theming, and its theme park feel. RCT 3 is about managing a park, and loading up with scenery and giving it to other people so they can lag out.

Yeah, but they could've spent a day or 2 fixing the coasters. They obviously don't care about enthusiasts. The only special thing RCT has is the park feel, and nothing else. Of course, it ain't SC/STP, but can definately improve, and should. A simple scaling system would be good. Also, some basic coaster knwoledge could help. Seriously, 0 g rolls on vekomas and not on B&Ms? I'm sorry, but that's just unacceptable.
