Rollercoaster Tycoon

RollerCoaster Tycoon for IOS has finally launched, and weeks of anticipation was destroyed by a horrendous pricing plan. While the game play is still reminiscent of the original tycoon classic, the unfortunate micro transactions makes it incredibly hard to have this game take up valuable space on the iPad.

It has just been a little less then ten years since the latest RollerCoaster Tycoon launched, and almost fifteen years since the launch of the original classic. And this spring, a new game in the franchise is heading to iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad. According to Touch Arcade, the game will retail for 2.99 USD and will include 20 pre-built coasters, while also allowing players to share their coaster designs in an online community.

There aren't many games that let you build up amazing rollercoaster rides that end with the track suddenly dropping out and the death of thousands of your guests. That's what makes Rollercoaster Tycoon such an important franchise. Because if you don't terrorize innocent avatars, who on earth will? It's been a while since the last outing was released - almost 10 years - so fans may be happy to learn that Atari are teasing a new entry in the series.
