PREPARE TO GET SOAKED!

Careen down a gigantic water slide to a thrilling splashdown in an Olympic size pool; or hang ten in a halfpipe as you surf through the wave simulator. Choreograph your very own laser light and dancing water shows; or add performing killer whales to entertain your park guests. Treat your guests (and yourself!) to the latest rides and coasters, including the wet and wild RollerSoaker! Now you can add a water park to your current RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 amuse- ment parks, but be prepared! You will get wet on this ride!

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked! also includes eight original drenching scenarios, two aquatic design themes, a pool-building toolset, and an expanded version of the RCT3 MixMaster™ that allows you to create your own laser light shows, customize dolphin and killer whale perform- ances, and choreograph dancing water shows. In addition, the scenarios feature added challenges to give you more ways to play the game.

Finally, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked! allows you to create tunnels for both footpaths and trackrides. See "Creating Tunnels" on page 16.

Playing Rollercoaster Tycoon® 3: Soaked!

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked! uses the same controls as those for RollerCoaster Tycoon 3.

Please refer to the RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 player’s guide for instructions on how to use the features of the core game.
