''RollerCoaster Tycoon 3'', first released on October 26, 2004, is the first game in the series to use 3-dimensional graphics, as opposed to the 2-dimensional isometric view of the first two games. Players can now view their park at any angle, which helps players build in crowded areas. Players can also "Ride the Rides" (main sales argument), which allows the player to simulate riding most of the attractions in the park from a first-person perspective. Some players disliked the quality of the new graphics.

In career mode, the player builds their theme park in a pre-designed park, and must meet a set of objectives. These objectives include number of visitors, park rating (popularity and satisfaction), roller coaster specifications, and successful VIP visits. Each scenario has 3 sets of objectives,: Apprentice, Entrepreneur, and Tycoon. The higher the level of completion, the more scenarios are available.

Many think Sandbox mode is also more fun than Career mode because it's not about the money. Instead,instead itsit's about more ride popularity and also gives you more freedom to mess around and set your own goals. Also, in Career mode you start off with a few rides whereas in Sandbox you start with nothing so the park can be completely your own.

Roller coasters have more flexibility, and include more advanced components, including:

The sections can be built by double -clicking on the orientation of the desired track section.

The land editing in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is substantially improved from the two previous games. Instead of tiles that are edited by the corners and are limited to a single angle, the tiles can be positioned at any angle, which allows for more realistic landforms, such as mountains, craters, mesas, valleys, and canyons.

In addition to the flexibility of the land tiles, there are numerous tools that make land formlandform creation and ride creation easier. Tools can raise and lower land in a large radius, with different styles. There are also smoothening tools to remove irregularities, and "snap-to" tools that position tiles at the level of ride height increments.
