RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked! Floats

Atari says first expansion pack of popular theme park simulator will ship to store shelves on June 21.

It’s virtually wet. It’s virtually wild. It’s the announcement from Atari that the first expansion pack of their popular RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, titled “Soaked!”, will be washing into store shelves on June 21. This $29.99 add-on will allow theme park tycoons to create and control their own water parks.

“Soaked!”, according to an Atari press release, offers players more than 50 new rides and coasters, many of which are built around a water park theme, including swimming pool complexes, water slides, wave pools and interactivity with water, including stirring up swimming pools, firing water cannons at park guests and a brand new interactive water-based coaster called The Roller Soaker! New Swimming Pool and Waterfall Designers will enable players to add hundreds of enhancements and the RCT3 MixMaster has been expanded to allow players to customize laser light, firework and water shows using the player’s own music library.

Players can also create marine spectaculars with performing dolphins, killer whale shows and custom-designed aquariums. Another new feature, the tunneling system, allows for tunnels both underground and under water.
