About RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic
RollerCoaster Tycoon® Classic combines the core simulation of the original RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 into a single PC experience. Players design coasters, manage staff, and balance finances while keeping guests entertained across many scenarios.
The game ships with the Toolkit, Wacky Worlds, and Time Twister expansion packs, adding new locations and a scenario editor. Classic‑style isometric graphics and the original soundtrack preserve the nostalgic feel while supporting Steam Cloud saves.
01 / THE GUIDE
Coaster Construction
Create roller coasters by selecting a pre‑made design or using piece‑by‑piece building tools. The tools let you shape tracks, add hills, and place loops before placing the coaster in the park.
The Ride Designer lets you test a coaster, fine‑tune speed and banking, and theme it with scenery before saving the design for later use.
- Try both pre‑made and custom builds to see which fits your planning style.
- Use the test function to catch problems before final placement.

Park Management
Run your park’s marketing and finances to make a profit while attracting more guests. You can adjust ticket prices, launch advertising, and monitor guest satisfaction levels.
Organize staff to keep the park running well, assigning workers to clean, maintain rides, and assist guests as needed.
