'''RollerCoaster Tycoon 3''' (or RCT3 for short) is the third installment of the RollerCoaster Tycoon Series. The gameplay is based on managing amusement parks. The player must build rides, paths, food stalls, and scenery to attract guests to their park and fulfill a set of objectives.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 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", which allows the player to simulate riding most of the attractions in the park ~~So The Game on Popular Game Of 3D And The HD&nbsp~~

==Gameplay==

The player manages construction and maintenance of their theme park. The main game play aspect is building rides, scenery, shops, and paths to entertain guests. The player must also hire staff to maintain rides and the park grounds to make the park more appealing to guests.

===Game Modes===

Players can choose between three game modes to build parks: Career mode, a pre-designed objective-based set of scenarios; Sandbox mode, a non-restrictive building mode; and editors, which allow for the customization of specific game play elements.

====Career Mode====

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.

===Ride Construction===

There are two distinct types of rides that can be constructed: tracked rides, and non-tracked rides. Players can build both, but tracked rides can be custom designed, while non-tracked rides are prefabricated and are simply placed on the desired location.

When building a tracked ride, players can design the path of the ride with the built in ride editor. The most common components are:

==Other Features==

===CoasterCam===

===The 3-dimensional graphics allow for many different camera angles and movements, and one of the major features that is showcased by these capabilities is the "CoasterCam" function.===

The camera can be fixed to almost all rides, so the player can simulate riding roller coasters, gentle rides, thrill rides, water rides, and many other rides. This feature was one of the major selling points of the game.
