Disney interactive has to be applauded for giving us creative

entertainment without the blood and guts of combat and more combat. The sound and visual effects of designing your own roller coaster and taking it on its maiden run are a unique thrill. The choices from coaster, to tracks and tressels, and terrain promise the users to many hours of non duplicated fun. Visually this game has asthetic values that change and are rewarding from design to design.Directions are clear, making the hours spent, hassle free. I envy all who will be taking their first trips on their newly designed roller coasters.

This roller coaster simulation game has the easiest interface of the roller coaster genre, which allows any user to quickly design and build a high speed roller coaster and ride it within minutes. The game includes over 120 different new and classic theme props to place around your track which adds a unique look to your creations. New Track Pieces and Track Types are more than enough to keep you happy with many inversion and vertical possibilites. The open ended design of the game also allows experienced users to create their own graphic enhancements within the game. Online communities are springing up to support this game, however the best remains the original site. Compete with other designers via the internet and ride and rate each others roller coasters. The graphics are beautiful and are enhanced from the original version, including: sunflares, weather effects, sound, and camera effects, and much, much more! You will not be disappointed, and at the price of..., you can't go wrong. Disney Interactive has a really fine product here. Pick up a copy and enjoy!

Before you waste your [money] on this version go buy the latest version, the Disney Edition. Why? Because this version has a few annoying bugs that may never get fixed. 1) Some MP3's won't play correctly, 2) MP3's won't play in test mode--how are you supposed to build a coaster timed to music?! I've brought up these issues on the game site. I highly doubt they will be fixed since it seems the Disney version is the only version being touted now. On the plus side, this game is plain awesome. It makes building coasters a breeze and you'll be working on your first masterpiece right away. Don't buy this game unless your sole intention is to build your own coasters. That's what this game is all about. If you are expecting something else then you're sadly mistaken (like some reviewers who gave low ratings). I recommend this game (Disney version) to any coaster freak who wants to build their own. Also check out No Limits Coaster Simulator (only available on the web/download)---a more serious approach--the ultimate metal coaster builder. Both are must-haves for a coaster builder or enthusiast. Bunches of coasters online for your pleasure. What are you waiting for? Get the Disney version.

This is a Disney's version of "Roller Coaster Tycoon". The graphics are not as good as RCT but this is still a very good game. The background music is very Disney-like and sounds like it was recorded at one of Disney's theme parks. Most of the Disney Interactive games are good and this is no exception.

Although it does not say it, this game will work with Windows XP Home Edition.

I've had the opportunity to preview this product and unquestionably, this follow-up takes the original version to new heights. Along with all the original fixings that graced Ultimate Ride, the Deluxe version includes new track types, like Flying and Standing Coasters, new environments and many exciting new props. Top this off an extended menu of new track pieces which include half-cork screws,tunnels and much more, and your talking about a whole new breed of coaster action. New options have been added, such as turning off collision with the props, which means, coaster tracks can now be placed directly over, under and even through props! There's even a the ability to turn on crowd screams. Overall, Ultimate Ride fans will be in heaven, and new recruits are about to take the ride of their life. If only movie sequels were this good.

This is truly addictive !
Not only are the graphics and options FAR better than any other roller-coaster software, but they dangle a carrot in front of you as well. Once you finish your coaster you upload it to the internet where other members download and ride it and then rate you - all in hopes of winning the coveted title of "RollerGod" for that week. In turn, you download their coasters and rate them.
I've experienced some big problems on the website which may have more to do with my internet browser and less to do with the software, but all in all it has been a fun experience.

finally... a roller coaster game that where you don't have to be a "business major" to play! this IS a very enjoyable and rewarding roller coaster game experience -- my son and I are avid roller coaster riders in the 'real' world and have stood in line at many a day talking about what we would build if we had the chance! Well, here it is in the 'virtual' world!...neither one of us are "roller coaster tycoons", and almost didn't buy this game because we thought it was just like the others... now i can say without hesitation it was one of the best [money] i ever spent!...

Wow! what a great coaster gaame. This puts the others to shame. You can build great coasters, design backgrounds, change audio, etc. The designers thought of everything to make this a must game for Coaster junkies.

I have roller coaster tycoon gold 3 disk edition and just got the ultimate ride preview and the kids dont have a chance to get their hands on the computer to play them because i am not going to shair it with them..lol lol,,they love it and it is better for them than some of the blood and guts games that are also my toys but not suitable for their age,

I know that it's not out yet and won't be for awile. But I think it will be a breat add on to the game go over to the website ( imagineering.com )and check out the video and the four new screen shots! it will be better because now you can mke half loops right and left corkscrews. That means you can make any type of coaster you want. Also with new places and coasters it will be worth every Penny. Can;t wait til' April 2nd
