In the Original RCT3, there was no waterpark option and you could not build tunnels.

In the Soaked! Expansion pack, both of these additions were realized, but the tunneling had limitations that made it almost unbearable.

Finally, the Wild! Expansion pack comes along and creates a well-rounded video game that is both enjoyable and easy to use. The tunneling this time is automatic and is virtually void of drawbacks. The ability to now add animal exhibits to your park is great, and the new Challenges that come along with that are great. The best part of this expansion pack however, is the wide variety of new flat rides and the new scenery options. Both of these should've been included in the original version, but for some reason (probably money-making related) they were not. Regardless, the game now features flat rides such as the S&S Skyswatter and a handful of new coaster types. Unfortunately, the coastrs aren't real types of rollercoasters, but protoypes based off of "actual designs." Some of them are very cool, but they are often difficult to get the hang of because they are all different from the typical coaster layout. After a while though, you should adapt and enjoy these additions. I am with the other reviewer on this one, 2 expansion packs seem a little too much especially when they are priced so high and packed with such little content. However, if you have some money to spend and you are a fan of the series, plop some down on this item. You will undoubtedly find something to enjoy about it.

I played this game when it was in Beta. It adds a bunch of Flat Rides to the game which is awesome. It adds some new coaster types too. It makes the experience a little better. The animals are a really cool edition to the game. For all of us east coasters, if you want to make a Six Flags: Great Adventure Recreation, almost exactly, this game will work for you.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 has been an enjoyable series at our house. Both my boys and I love playing the game. We had gotten the "Gold" version at Christmas which included the main game and the Soaked expansion pack. However, after that game got to be such a big hit with everyone, we ordered the Wild expansion pack. The animals in this aren't nearly as good or rich as those found in Microsoft's Zoo Tycoon series (1 or 2), but Zoo Tycoon doesn't have roller coasters, midway rides and water parks to go along with it. The elephant ride that goes through the animal exhibits has been a hit (the camera view even jiggles like you're really on a elephant).

The new coaster types included in Wild are good too, such as the Split and Multidimensional.

I love Wild!!!!! This expansion pack not only gives you extra roller coasters, scenery, rides and what not. It lets you put animals in the park! This is an awesome feature and gives you the tools to make parks that you never thought were possible. I have been waiting for them to come out with this expansion pack ever since Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 was released when I was 7!!

The game also comes with a slew of new levels and great features such as the ability to create water and laser shows. (I personally Lovvve the laser shows). You can also create your own lion and tiger shows (Yeah that's right just like Zoo Tycoon).


My favorite expansion is the animals. Just as in Zoo Tycoon, you have to create cages for them (If you don't, you have to go out and shoot them with a tranquilizer gun yourself) If you abuse your animals, a helicopter will come and take them away. You can also create rides going through the cages such as the safari jeeps. You can see through the animal's eyes just like the coaster cam, but this is the animal cam.(You can even see the animals go poop lol!!.) Buy it now!

RCT3 Wild! is quite an original idea, considering how many other terrible games have tried to copy Zoo Tycoon. I can safely say this is not one of them. You can build roller coasters right into animal exhibits. You can't exactly create the 'zoo of your dreams,' but you can create the ultimate theme park! Great buy!

This is a very nice game just make sure your computer can handle the graphics otherwise it'll run slow and become boring. Thank goodness for our laptop. My daughter loves to ride the coasters that she designs and because she loves Zoo Tycoon as well she is in Tycoon heaven with this one.

The game has got it all now that Wild has been added. The only problem i have with any of the RCT games is in night time mode. My computer tends to slow signifigantly because there is so much going on. But i don't care - I'm having way too much fun. i somedays spend 3 - 6 hrs. just building parks. I'm thoroughly addicted.

I originally had the rollercoaster tycoon 3 gold game, which was the rct soaked expansion along with the base game. When I was looking through the internet I found this expansion pack. I decided to get it and it is still working brilliantly

After getting RCT 3, RCT 3 Soaked, and now RCT3 Wild, there is some dissapointment with this expansion pack. Good news is that there are many things to upgrade your park for in this expansion pack. The main theme is animals and this expansion pack allows you to create a Busch Gardens type park. You can add all types of animals like giraffes, rhinos, pandas, and more. You can even create lion shows as well. Plus there are many new rides like a safari transport vechicle and a safari train to allow people to visit your animal displays. There are also around 20 other new rides including new prototype coasters, carival rides, and now a steamboat transport vechicle.

However, I don't think that these expansion pack works well on its own. There are just too little new features that is worth it in the price. This pack should have been combined with the Soaked expansion pack.

If you are a fan of RCT 3, then getting this pack shouldn't be an issue, however if you can buy only one of the expansion packs, get soaked since it addresses many issues that needed to be brought up in the orginal RCT 3 game. This pack has very little content to add to the orginal game.

I have loved all the Rollercoaster Tycoon games and I also love Zoo tycoon. When this expansion pack came out, I was excited because I thought it would be a great combination of the 2 games I love to play. I was a little dissapointed when I actually played this becuase it just wasn't what I expected. Compared to zoo tycoon the animal part was completely different.

Pros:
Very fun and entertaining
Can easily get addicted and forget about time
An inexpensive expansion - so if you don't like it you didn't waste much money

Cons:
* The graphics aren't amazing
* The game runs alot slower at "night time" in the game. - it could just be my computer, but it seems weird to me that just because its "night" in the game that it would run slower.
* The animal aspect is fun, but not as good as zoo tycoon
* There aren't very many options for animals and their habitat doesnt seem to affect anything.
* I am having trouble beating the very last "park" or level on the career path. I have even restarted and changed the places I put the animals and rides, but I just cant seem to win, which isn't much fun for me, so I just gave up.
