Same here. I'm sure that the actual game wont be as boring becuase they'll have evrrything there and the glitches will hopefully be gone.

Guess what I did earlier today after I logged off. I went and played the demo, and completed the Tycoon level. My trick is when nightime comes, fast forward the game on the highest setting and don't do anything except hire people, fiances, customizing rides, etc.. untill the lights start to go off. Then your put it back to normal and then you start building rides. The way to get your park value up is to duplicate all of your rides, add 2 or 3 coasters, simple ones of course or chose a premade one since you only had 45 minutes and nightime comes quickly. Be sure to hire a mechanic too, becuase the rides tend to brak down, especially the Jacket one and the invertor ship. If a ride breaks down, the message screen will say that such and such ride has had to make an emergency stop and it should, and I don't know this for sure, say in another message that the ride has broken down. The only employee already hired is a park inspector and then you have your ride operators and shop keepers. I didn't hire any janitors or security guards, and my park was spotless ad not vandalized. I even got to see some couples kissing today, especially on the back side of the park. I think that I did all of this in about 42 minutes because at 11 minutes to go, I was still and entrepreneur.

I've played the demo for a few days now and I like what i've seen so far with the exception of the fireworks, they're useless. I can't wait until someone releases a Carowinds re-creation park for RCT3 after you guys had the really good re-creations in RCT2.

Have you seen the Bristish RCT3 site. It's awsome. It is way better than the US one. It has more screenshots, more videos, more info, more downloads, and more frequent updates. I discovered it while reading a post in the RCT3 forum. The box for them also looks better. Why can't the US site be like that site? It would be nice for that to happen. Check it out by clicking <a href='http://www.atari.com/rollercoastertycoon/europe/uk/flash_content/flash_content.html' target='_blank'>here.</a>

EDIT: I subscribed to their email thingie, and I actually got an email. I have subscribed to the US one tons of times, but I have never recievec a single email from them. It is obvious that Atari US doesn't care alot for the public and could care less how much info we have of the game.

No it hasn't. The day that I discoveed the site, you only had one coaster video to chose from, the generic one. Yesterday or whatever day I made the update post, there was a new coaster to ride, the western one.

I imported a RCT2 coaster to RCT3. It was my first twisted wooden coaster that I buit. I buit it after I rode Thunderhead. It's fun, but its not my favorite one. I chose it becuase it was the first one that I wan'ted to ride out of my list. It;s got some problems. I took a few screens and made a video, which is in the process of being loaded up as I speak. I'll edit this post when its ready to be viewed over the internet.

EDIT: I've tried twice to upload it to my webspace. But, each time i can never find it. I'll email it to you if you want to see it.
