Preview: SimCoaster

What's more fun than building your own roller coasters? How about riding the coasters you've built? That's what you'll do in SimCoaster, the upcoming sequel to Sim Theme Park. The developers at Bullfrog have improved the gameplay from the original with a storyline that will have you working your way up from assistant manager to company president. Rather than building separate parks, like in Sim Theme Park, you'll now control one huge park with three new themes - Arabian Nights, New Science, and Polar Zone. The new mission-based gameplay will now give you specific goals, which will open up new areas of the park when completed. A new Coaster Design Kit will allow you to construct coasters at your leisure and import them into your park and, of course, you'll still be able to wander your park and ride all the attractions from a first person perspective. SimCoaster screams into stores in February 2001.-- Brian Wright / GamePro
