This is a terrific fun expansion pack for Roller Coaster Tycoon on the Mac...allows you to build pools, slides, adds all sorts of additional rides, coasters, and water rides -- but WARNING!! I was playing on a Macbook Pro Dual Core - very speedy machine that absolutedly ground to a crawl once this expansion pack was added...I found myself removing it from the laptop and everything went back to normal - so it somehow eats up a lot of system resources. Works great on my mac G5 desktop.

I just got the game in the mail. Installation is a breeze. Now after spending a good hour exploring all the new rides and enhancements, it was worth the wait. I am not going to sleep at all tonight! The game runs faster and one thing that is not noted on the Aspyr website is the ability to create custom billboards! This game rocks! NOTE: When choosing to use "Soaked" in the game menu, there is also a "Wild" expansion option but nothing happens when you click on it. Maybe "Wild" will be coming out next??? I hope!!!

This game is a lot of fun. It's just as addicting as I expected. The only downside is there are very few scenarios to play, about half as much as the normal game. Either way I'd still say it was worth the money.

This Expansion was amazing, I'm running it on my Macbook Pro 15" 2GB Memory, Dual Core 2.16Ghz machine and it works flawlessly. Very Addictive! Love all the new features they added in this expansion pack!

These type of games will make your computer run slow, so you have to have a good processor for it, which I apparently did not, it made my mac run super slow and it kept freezing up and taking forever to load. I love Roller Coaster Tycoon in general though, one of my all time favorite games, I wish I could have gotten it to work for my Mac... I'll just have to keep playing the original old game on my PC!

I ordered this computer game for my granddaughter because she had RollerCoaster 3, but didn't have Soaked. She loves creating water themed parks. Since she got Soaked she has created a number of beautiful water parks and she is absolutely thrilled with it.

I would definitely recommend it.

I installed and reinstalled the original RTC3 and RTC Soaked probably about a dozen times trying to get it to run correctly. I deleted all the preferences and files that were installed. I finally had to contact Aspyr and ask for help. It seemed that I needed to fix the permissions on my hard drive, since the game wasn't seeing all the files that it was suppose to. That finally fixed the problem. Now the game runs fine on my new iMac. In fact, since the graphics update that Steam had worked on with Apple, the game runs incredibly fast. The only thing my Mac can't handle are the shadow effects. The game runs at a crawl if they're turned on. So anyone planning to purchase the expansion pack, be sure and fix all your permissions first. Then when you start up the game, turn off the shadows in the game preferences. Once you do, you'll have a great time playing the expansion.

I was a little disappointed that in the description it didn't say it was an expansion pack, and that I needed to buy the other part of the game as well. However, I did love the quality I received. thanks so much!

The expansion pack works great on the new Macs. I'm running it on my G5 with 8 gigabytes of memory on maximum graphics without a problem with no lag time. It plays simple without any crashing and looks great. I think the new Macs can handle this as I've encountered no problems whatsoever. I've been playing the RCT ever since it first came out and I'm very satisfied with the smooth game play even though Chris Sawyer didn't work on the expansion pack. Atari did a beautiful job and the gameplay is still great with the menus in different areas. Just make sure your computer has plenty of memory and an awesome processor for the graphics as this game loves to eat memory still after all these years! :D

I have a new 15" MacBook Pro, and this game does not work properly. There is something strange going on with the graphics... it draws weird colors and huge planes and rays all over the place, making the game unusable. I have a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, with a nicer graphics card than recommended, so I exceed the minimum requirements, but it won't run properly. By the way, RCT 3 regular works fine.
