New York, NY (June 9, 2005) - Atari announced today that developer
Frontier has completed RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked!, the first expansion pack
for RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 franchise.
From Atari:
Scheduled to ship to retail outlets nationwide on the longest day of summer,
June 21, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked! is perfectly timed because the game
invites players to create and control their own water parks just as the summer
vacation season gets underway.
According to the NPD Group, RollerCoaster Tycoon is the top-selling tycoon
franchise, having sold nearly nine million units life-to-date worldwide, and
since 1995, becoming the second best selling PC game of all time in the U.S.
"With Frontier's creativity and passion, Atari is pleased to continue to support
the enormous worldwide RCT fan base with innovative and exciting new content,"
said Matt Collins, Director of Category Marketing at Atari. "With RollerCoaster
Tycoon 3: Soaked! Frontier and Atari have created so much more than just an
expansion pack."
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked! offers players more than 50 new rides and
coasters, many of which are built around a water park theme, including swimming
pool complexes, massive water slides, wave pools and amazing interactivity with
water, including stirring up swimming pools, firing water cannons at park guests
and a brand new interactive water-based coaster called The Roller Soaker! New
Swimming Pool and Waterfall Designers will enable players to add hundreds of
enhancements and the RCT3 MixMaster has been expanded to allow players to
customize dazzling laser light, firework and water shows using the player's own
music library.
Players can also create marine spectaculars with performing dolphins, killer
whale shows and custom-designed aquariums. The new tunneling system opens up a
whole new set of opportunities, with tunnels both underground and under water.
With original coasters, water slides, beaches and more, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3:
Soaked! is the ultimate interactive experience for summer fun.
Developed by Frontier Developments Ltd. of Cambridge, England, in conjunction
with Chris Sawyer, the creator and developer of RollerCoaster Tycoon,
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked! is for the PC and will ship to retailers on June
21 for $29.99.
