Farewell all my RCT friends


It is that time. 
The RCTspace Network will be closing it's doors and turning out the lights for the final time.  At the end of September 2021 we will be retiring the forums and feature sites.  Over the past couple decades, we have had the best of times here with you all and created so very many friendships and memories.  You all will be missed.

In the remaining time, I urge you to gather the items you personally want to save and give them a special home.

Until we meet again...
 

...you wait and wait in line in vain for ages, and then 2 suddenly come along at once!

Rollercoaster Tycoon World (RCTW) launched on 16th November and Planet Coaster (PC) on 17th November.

So far Planet Coaster seems to be getting the better reviews. Some may be tempted by the 'branding' on RCTW, but the developers of RCTW were not involved with the previous titles. Planet Coaster on the other hand, was developed by Frontier Developments, who wrote both the RCT2 expansions, and RCT3 and both expansions too.

I hated the RCT2 expansions with its oversized scenery, I hated RCT3 period because of the (IMO) crappy AI. But I'm impressed by PC and the way the Frontier are building a community for the game.

Both are available on STEAM, with PC so far having a more favourable rating (And more players) but there does seem to be a lot 'fan boy' fighting between fans of each game.

Hi everyone,

Recently Steve Franks sent me an email asking about RCT Classic and Open RCT2.  I don't have either package currently but here is what he said:

"My hope for RCT Classic would be it to accept all the old scenery, including the expansions and allow me to import my old "finished" tracks. AND I would give my soul to have the woody 15 degree banked track restored. I never recovered from that takeaway. Realistic block brakes would also be a god send.

I like the potential and promise of RCT Open, but what are the downsides of it all? Any I better off just to stand pat?"

Is anyone here able to answer his questions?
