One option has been added:

Use Environment Map On Flowing Water – When checked, adds additional properties to bodies of flowing water so that the environment is reflected on the surface of flowing water.

Park Management

Staff

After you place an entertainer in your park, one of the uniforms available is a shark costume.

Challenges

Among the buttons under Park Management, is a button for displaying Challenges. The challenges window displays a special opportunity to take advantage of a temporary condition that affects your park and its guests. If you meet the challenge, you’ll receive a special bonus.

Themes

Most of the object placement windows (such as rides, shops, and scenery) now include selections for two themes, Atlantis and Paradise Island.

Pool Slides and Rides

A selection has been added to the Rides menu for selecting pool slides and rides. Waterslides are assembled much the same way as track rides, except you should place the ride entrance at an elevated platform, and the end of the ride must empty into a swimming pool.

Scenery

Two scenery options have been added to the Scenery buttons.

Terrain Surfaces

The Terrain Surfaces button allows you to add raised terrain in blocks, as well as larger structures for marking the entrance to a themed area.

Swimming Pools

The Swimming Pools button opens a suite of tools allowing you to create swimming pools of any shape and size. See “Using the Swimming Pool Editor” on page 13.

RCT3 MixMaster

The RCT3 MixMasterhas been expanded to include lasers, dancing water jets and performing dolphin and killer whale shows as well as fireworks. See “Using the Improved RCT3 MixMaster” on page 11 for more details.
