Scream if you want to go faster, as the world of theme park simulation arrives in the palm of your hand with Rollercoaster Tycoon 3D for Nintendo 3DS. Design and build the wildest rollercoasters imaginable, then ride them in stunning 3D!

Thanks to Rollercoaster Tycoon 3D’s intuitive toolset, creating the rollercoaster of your dreams is incredibly easy. Plan out and then build each rollercoaster from either a first- or third-person perspective, switching between the two views as you see fit and adding track until you’re happy with the layout. What’s more, you can remove and re-lay track repeatedly to get the best layout, or even use the auto-complete function once you’ve got your loops, spins and other highlight moments in place to complete your rollercoaster with a simple tap of the stylus. Finally, jump on board and ride the rollercoaster you just built, looking around your park from a first-person perspective by using the motion controls of Nintendo 3DS!

Theme parks aren’t just about rollercoasters though; the planning and management of your park’s facilities is just as important, especially if you want to earn enough money to build even more scream-inducing experiences! Rollercoaster Tycoon 3D takes the simulation elements that have made the series so popular and adapted them for Nintendo 3DS to offer gameplay that’s both challenging and accessible for players of all ages, while retaining the almost-endless depth that fans of the series love.

The game also offers a fully-structured Coaster Story mode – a new addition to the series – which blends building tutorials and park challenges with an entertaining adventure, as you travel the globe expanding your rollercoaster empire. Build bigger and better thrill rides, earn as much money as possible and unlock all kinds of unique attractions and amenities along the way!

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3D also makes use of several sharing features exclusive to Nintendo 3DS. Have your friends ride your rollercoasters or hire them to come work in your park by importing their Mii characters from StreetPass Mii Plaza; take and share photos of you and your friends riding your rollercoasters; or share your favourite track designs with other players using StreetPass.

By refining the hugely popular simulation series for Nintendo 3DS, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3D has all the depth you’d expect from a theme park management game while also being accessible and fun for people new to the genre. Whether you enjoy the structure of Coaster Story mode or prefer to go totally freeform and make the rollercoaster theme park of your dreams, it’s sure to be a wild ride!
