Expansion Packs
Why does it state that there is only one expansion pack for this game? I'm sure there are two. --Funnykidrian 06:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

expansion packs
I wrote that there was one.It as written 2 before but i changed it because this game was first advertised the same time the loopy landscapes game came out and i also think that the first expansion pack was never released in the uk. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rossyboy10 (talk • contribs).
 * Added Attractions was released in the UK, I remember buying it. It was later also included on the Loopy Landscapes disc. Makron1n 19:46, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

ThemePark
Wouldn't a reference to the similarities between Bullfrog's Theme Park and Tycoon be good? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.137.255.221 (talk • contribs).
 * Only with a reliable source making the comparison.--Drat (Talk) 15:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Sigh... You don't need a reference to a comparison. As long as the listed features in both games' WP articles are from reliable sources, you can compare the games yourself - just link to the Theme Park article. That said, don't go too far and start to guess the reasons behind the differences or anything like that.--Almost Anonymous 14:55, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Software Issues
This section, recently added by 71.60.109.223, is unsourced. Can someone confirm that the game can't be installed on XP? BANG !  03:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It's untrue. The game can be properly run using compatibility settings and a patch. There was a section with the correct info some time ago, except I can't find that edit. I will fix it. --FlyingPenguins 05:30, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

i have both expansion packs, completed over half the scenarios (of the original, haven't had time for the expansion scenarios yet), with no problems, in x64 Windows 7 with following settings for RTC.exe: http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/4051/rctexecompat.png Divinity76 (talk) 23:01, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

RCTTOWN link no more
Just a note, rcttown on the links part has shutdown and the link should be removed or replaced with: http://rollercostertime.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Skullbird11 (talk • contribs) 16:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC).

Xbox 360 Backwards Compatibility
I figured it'd be a good idea to include this game's Xbox 360 backwards compatibility status on its page. When and if this game becomes backwards compatible, please update it accodringly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Firebomb 87 (talk • contribs) 16:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Error??
It states in the Expansion area:

''On many of the scenarios in Loopy Landscapes, the player is given an unlimited amount of time to complete the objective. There are even some scenarios in this expansion pack where the player has an unlimited amount of time and cash to attract a very high number of guests to the park; the only catch is that the player must maintain a high park rating or the park will close.''

The sentences controdict them selves. I've played Roller Coaster Tycoon, and know that NOT ALL scenarios are unlimited. I will change the unlimited, to limited, because ingame, they give you usually give something like this: YEAR x, MONTH x androo123

Reference removed, no longer active;
http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1546&Itemid=2 referring to Atari being sued by the creator. This still needs to be cited by a reliable source.

This is under the section History, and contained within "For his efforts, Chris received over $30 million[2] of the 180 million brought in by the highly popular game".

Easter Egg/Cheats?
No references to the interesting little hidden quirks in RCT? Such as naming guests with the names of developers to make them do specific things (ie: name a guest Chris Sawyer and he will stay happy no matter what). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.88.188.242 (talk) 19:02, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Trivia like that is generally not needed, unless it is somehow significant.--Drat (Talk) 19:46, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
