June 2, 2005 – One thing that was always missing from the original RollerCoaster Tycoon was the ability to create and maintain water parks. Sure, they’re not technically roller coasters, but they sure are fun, especially in those hot summer days. I suppose it’s pretty appropriate that this June when the sun begins to beat down on the US in full force, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked! will be released into stores, giving those that wish an escape from the heat.
We’ve seen Soaked! in the past, but this is the first day that we’ve really had to sit down and give the game enough attention to build a small park and experiment a little bit with waterslides. One thing that’s clear from when the original was released is that the peeps are much more responsive to rides. In fact, they seem to be very excited about water parks in general. They’ll happily dive into the water and hang out around the pool for hours.
