M Brookes Wild Interview


1. Could you give an introduction to RCT3 Wild! And say what new features, coaster elements, shops etc… which will be included.

RCT3 Wild! adds several new coasters including the Seismic and Robotic coasters as well expanding many of the existing coasters. Many new flat rides have also been added, including the much requested Tilt-a-Whirl and Giant Wheel rides.

There’s two new themes, Prehistoric and Safari, both including a wide variety of wall pieces and animatronics to add to your park.

Over 20 animal species are included and can be placed within your safari style exhibits. These include Lions, Gazelle, Elephants, Grizzly Bears and Elephants.

As well as Safari Hats, Safari Toys, Dino Masks and a few other stalls, Wild adds Custom Shops to RCT3. These shops allow you to select what profile the shop uses and most of them allow you to add your banner images for the shop.

2. Will the backgrounds of some of the new rides be colour-changeable?

Ride backdrops are not currently customisable.

3. Will we be seeing any sponsorship in Wild?, e.g. like the Hershey’s deal?

There is no specific sponsorship deal for Wild, although players can now add in-game advertising to provide extra revenue for your park.

4. What new shops will be added? We have already seen the Fries stall; will we be seeing any other new shops? Will restaurants be added to the game?

There are a few new shops, including the fries shop, Safari Hats, Safari Toys and Dino Masks. Wild also adds custom shops to RCT3, these allow player selected images to be displayed as well as player selectable shop profiles. Restaurents are not planned for Wild.

5. Will there be new trigger points or even a Ride triggered MixMaster, e.g. when a coaster passes a certain point, an animal reacts to it, or fireworks set off?

Not in Wild. Although we do have two new animal shows which can be linked with other MixMaster displays.

6. Something many people would like to see : Will Midway Games / sideshows / arcades be included in Wild?

These won’t be included in Wild.

7. Custom Scenery Editor - Will it be implemented in the game? Would it be a free standing tool or built into the game?

This is something we have been looking into, but it is not part of the Wild expansion.

8. Just to know; will railroad crossings be added to the game?

We are aware that this is a feature requested by many people, but it’s not part of the Wild expansion.

9. How will the billboards work? What image types does it support? Will there be some pre made ad’s e.g. Coca-Cola, Pepsi?

The billboards support a wide range of common image formats, pre-made ads will not be provided.

10. How many different animal types will wild include?

There are over 20 types of animals included with Wild. These include Lions, Tigers, Gorillas, Elephants, Giraffes and my favourites – Polar Bears.

11. Are the dinosaurs scenery items or real animals? What made you come to the conclusion to add these to the game?

The dinosaurs are animatronic scenery items. These have been a popular request since the original release of RCT3.

12. Will the Log Flume turntable be added to the log flume?

We are currently looking into this.

13. What do you personally like about the new game, and what is your favourite feature?

I think the animals themselves are my favourite new feature. Also watching a park full of peeps running away from an escaped animal is very cool.

14. Will we be seeing any real life coaster layouts or parks in the game?

No real life coasters or parks are included with Wild.

15. In Soaked, we saw several new features e.g. Waterfalls, Tunnels and Pools. Did you feel that you had to try and beat that, I.e. by adding lots of coasters, new features, animals etc…

We felt that Soaked was of a very high quality and clearly we had to equal or better that for Wild. One example of this is the improvements to tunnels we’ve added in Wild. For example tunnels can now be created with any surface and isn’t as restricted as it was in Soaked.

16. For all those people in doubt over Wild! Can you sum up why they should go out and buy it!

Wild is an exciting addition to RCT3, not only for the inclusion of animals (which is huge in itself), new flat rides and coasters. There’s also new transport rides, two of which that can be used to create safari rides through animal enclosures. And I think many people will be surprised how easy it is to add animals and care for them in Wild.

17. What information can you provide about the Mac version of RCT3?

The Mac version of RCT3 is not being created by ourselves. The conversion is being done by Aspyr who are an experienced company in PC to Mac conversions. You can find out more from:
