RollerCoaster Tycoon will go down in history as one of the most popular games of all time. It lets novices have fun creating theme parks out of precreated objects and challenges more experienced players by letting them design their own wild rides. It was only a matter of time before both groups began clamoring for more, and Hasbro Interactive has answered those demands with the release of the Corkscrew Follies expansion pack. Corkscrew Follies will keep fans of the original game busy for some time with over two dozen new and challenging scenarios, the inclusion of eight additional types of roller coasters to build, and new themes like Jungle that you can use to decorate your park. Minor additions such as new concessions stalls can be used both to generate extra revenue and to spice up the in-game graphics as visitors interact with the new objects. Follies also features new games such as miniature golf that you can use to entertain park guests. There still is no option to build the park of your dreams with unlimited funds, but the cheat codes available on the Web will take care of that. Still, there are enough new thrills here that the few faults really don't add up to much. Fans of the original game will definitely want to step right up. --T. Byrl Baker Pros: - New roller coaster types, games, and stalls
- Scenarios are more challenging than ever
Cons: - Still no mode that lets players create the park of their dreams with no monetary worries

 The Best Game in the History of Mankind! November 20, 1999

Okay, maybe that's a bit much, but this game rules! The original version is great (you need it to play the Expansion Pack), so buy it and this. I don't know yet if Sim Theme Park is any good, as I haven't played it yet, but it will have to go a long way in order to top this super, ADDICTIVE game. I haven't played Sim City since I bought Roller Coaster Tycoon. The different rides and the roller coasters are great. But building your own coasters and water slides is the really fun part. I can't say enough about this game. Buy it, and then clear your schedule, because you won't be traveling very far from your computer screen!

This game makes RCT even more enjoyable with new attractions like miniature golf and a ghost train with undergroung sections! You can even build a suspended monorail! There are 30 new scenarios. you can start your park that it partially built, futuristic, or long-neglected. Also, you can paint individual parts of you ride. And, there are about 20 new shops such as: candy apple stall, hat stall, sea food stall, hot dog stall, and... you can even build a mall! And to top it all off, there are new rides such as, a river ride with large capacity boats, circus tent, side friction roller coaster, heartline rollercoaster, steel and wooden twister rollercoaster with giant loops, virginia reel rollercoaster, steel wild mouse rollercoaster, log flume with turntable, miniature train with covered cars, a roto-drop and much much more.

An Excellent Expansion Pack December 2, 2000

If you thought Roller Coaster Tycoon was a great game, you will love this new expansion pack, Corkscrew Follies. It introudces new elements. New rides, like the Mini-Golf and Space Rings, are a great way to expand your park. New shops, like the sea food stall, are more ways to keep your guests entertained. The new parks, like Haunted Harbor, are great was to keep your mind busy with new challenges. Most of all, the new roller coasters, like side friction, heartline, and steel twister coaster, create endless ways to create a park.The new levels are in perfect design to challenge the mind. In Haunted Harbor you have to get 1,000 guests into the park, but you can not get rid of 2 very old rides, which crash a lot. In Barony Bridge, you have to creat a successfull park with a cramped area on a bridge. The new roller coasters add much more fun to the game. The limitations are your money and imagation. There are so many combinations of roller coasters, it's mind boggleing. This add on is a great new feature for this game, if you like Roller Coaster Tycoon and you want to add more to the game, this is the add on for you.
The best add-on pack for a game ever made! November 27, 1999

If you are getting this game you must have the first game, so im sure you already know how fun it is. This add-on pack makes it 10 times better. There are about 10 new path styles, at least ten more coasters, 1 more staff, tons of new gentle rides, and even a new water ride. Also, there is TONS more scenery. And last, but not least many more great scenarios. I found it more of a challenge than the original, but that just adds to the fun. If you liked the original, then you will LOVE the add-on. Well worth five stars.
Fantastic Program! November 24, 1999

Roller Coaster Tycoon and its new add-on, Corkscrew Follies, are superb at getting and keeping my attention. The program has so much happening at once, especially after a park is relatively well built up, and is non violent and tons of fun! It was fun and action packed! This is the equalizer! I don't have to run with the wolves killing other creatures to have some fun! I can (and have) also downloaded rides from their website with a link built into the program! I recommend this highly!
