Disney has just taken the Coaster world to a new level with this amazing product. Learn the basics of Ultimate Ride's coaster contruction, as you bulild your way through missions, or create your dream coaster from the ground up! The interface is so brilliant, even children will quickly put together satisfying creations, while adults (and die hard coaster fans) will be surprised how sophisticated their coasters can become. With 3 track types, an superb editor, animated props, realistic sound, multiple landscapes, and MP3 music support, the possiblities are endless. Model your coasters for realism, or go out of control with a coaster that can only exist in fantasy world. Once Ultimate Ride pulls you in, you'll wish there were 48 hours in a day!

As mentioned by a previous reviewer, Disney's first foray into a coaster sim was excellent. Well, they've far outdone themselves with this program! The interface is great, it's very easy to use, and it's great to add your own music to your coasters (something Disney Imagineering has started with their real life coasters is adding a soundtrack, such as at Space Mt in Disneyland, and California Screamin' at Disney's Califronia Adventure). I would like to see a couple more settings come out, but this is a great game - got it as soon as it went gold, and have not had a single crash yet on this P3 550 with 256 megs ram and a Geforce 2 video card. This is a quality coaster sim, and beats the pants off SimCoaster and roller Coaster Tycoon for this type of ride. I won both of those, and this Disney product is my favorite. What puts it over the top for me? GETTING TO RIDE MY COASTER and not having the limitations of the coaster that Sim Coaster has. I highly recommend this game! Buy it now! You'll love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great rollercoaster builder, November 12, 2001

I usually don't come back and write reviews for games, but I've been having so much fun with this game it is worth the effort.

This game is about building and riding rollercoasters. period. Disney must have spent a lot of time on coaster building because it's so easy to jump in and build a cool coaster.

There are two ways to play: free-form roller coaster building and a bunch of puzzle-oriented missions to solve. I prefer the free-form building, but my friend likes the missions (to each his own...).

The graphics are top notch and you can play your own MP3s while you ride your coaster! I've just started downloading some of the coasters on the game's web site. There are *thousands* of coasters to ride. Staggering. Some people have built some insane coasters.

Overall, highly recommended!
