The Golden Age Of RCT3

Ahhh.....I can still remember the release day of that amazing game.. At the time my computer couldn't process just a few rides without lag. Here we are several years later, and now that I actually have a computer that CAN process a full park, it seems no one even cares about the game. I for one still love the game and I know there are people out there (especially on CoasterCrazy ) that still care of this unforgettable game. Anyways, on to my point of this topic... There arn't many websites that still exist for RCT3... Many are gone or abandoned, but I know there are still websites out there that still hold Scenarios or parks available to download. I was curious to see if Anyone has any comments on RCT3 or knows of any good links for some Park/Scenario downloads. I Know that some still up are Vodhin or CoasterGrotto. I'm just curious to see what people know/remember. Thank you!

^You should check out ShyGuysWorld and RCTLounge. I don't play RCT3 anymore, but those are two particularly well-run sites.

Oh yeah RCTLounge! I remember that....Bit hard to navigate though.... Thanks for the link though

I'm still in it, the community has shrunk quite hard since the changes on Atari (it was by far the biggest place). Now there are only a few good international communities left. Shyguysworld and RCT-lounge those are. Here in the Netherlands we also have two. And to be honest, the level is quite high. Also, the game has changed a lot in the last few years:







All made by myself. When you have good PC, this game still rocks the world!

How about a air launch coaster that launches up over 75 miles into the sky at over 7,000 MKPH.

Check out the stuff that coasterdude5 has on New Element. He made big,detailed parks with rct3 with virtually no lag. (Them Ailenware computers are damn powerful )

Yeah and Francesco (fraroc) had done stuff with Rct3, its not bad....he just wont admit that GOOD parkmaking is more of an art than a game...he also done stuff with Rct2 and for my money he does helluva lot beter with rct2 than 3.

Agree with above stated stuff,how ever RCT2 will always stay as my fav RCT.Look up for Genfer G?????????rten on NE,a project that I made.

Thanks for the support guys, and yes RCT2 is my all-time fav... Though I have trouble on my windows 7 computer.. The music no longer works

Amazing pictures(and Projects) Custom scenery is what I adore in RCT3 as the supports in-game are rather hideous... But they caused my game to become glitchy and slow (spastic RCT3!) So I had to delete all my CS....So it's even harder to find Good Parks with NO CS...

I was very late to the party with RCT3...picked it up for the first time last year. It was great fun when everything worked reasonably well, but once I installed the Soaked expansion, the performance went downhill. My system specs were well over the recommended, but my iMac still couldn't handle all that much. The water never looked right at any stage, and I couldn't do much at all with Soaked. Even so, I was stunned by a lot of the things other people were able to do with the game. Custom scenery and people's imaginations make for some interesting combos. I just hope I have a computer that can handle everything if they do come out with another one somewhere down the line.

Yeah the CS's, while so incredible, just made the game now silky smooth anymore, and that really bugged me. On top of it, I couldn't get the CS's when it was a big thing (and easily accessible) because of my computer. One I got a better one a lot of the files were hard to get. So some parks I couldn't even enjoy.

The game is amazing, loved all of it, but too many CS's ruined the file-sharing ability of the game for me.

I'm actually going to play it right now. Maybe watch a couple vids of some amazing parks and enjoy them vicariously.

RCT3 at it's finest:

I've read all 56 pages.

Funny, the one picture has a pic of the mine train coming over a hill and into a turn and it says "Safety is our priority" and if you look at the wheels of the mine train, up near the top of the hill theres an obvious set of wheels that would classify as derailment.

Uh yes... hilarious....

It is.

for an RCT park, it ranks among the best. I really do hope they finally create an RCT4. If it weren't for the low performance of RCT3 it would have been an awesome game, I wonder if Steve Jobs had a part in it, seems it was released before it was ready. The basic idea was there, but, the execution was, to put it lightly, poop!

Your right! Coasterdude 5 is a legend at this game! Where do you download that park? or at least is there a video of the coasters/park, etc.???

He said he won't put it up for download, at least last I heard of. I suggest just reading through the whole story, it's a fantastic read at the least.
