Essential improvements[edit]
Patches[edit]
RollerCoaster Tycoon has a number of patches available from Atari's FTP server. Additionally, Corkscrew Follies and Loopy Landscapes each have one patch. These will update RollerCoaster Tycoon to v1.08.187, Corkscrew Follies/Added Attractions to v1.10.026, and Loopy Landscapes v1.20.013.
The 2003 Deluxe release, as well as all downloadable versions are already patched to the latest version.
A poorly rated park wouldn't be worth much to a guest, so it also wouldn't be worth much to people that want to invest in your park.Diamond Heights already has several functioning rides, but it's missing food stands, drink stalls, and bathrooms. There are a sizable amount of guests starving when you start, so build a series of food shops scattered around the park. Do not place food near the roller coasters or there will be vomit all over the paths. Although the shops don't cost very much, the guests' happiness will increase the value so it more than covers the shops' worth. Because drink stalls are not initially available, set the research priorities to shops and stalls and give it maximum funding until drink stalls can be made. Rollercoaster tycoon games.
Downloadable Content[edit]
There are two official roller coaster collection downloads from Chris Sawyer, both available via his website. While the 'Cat' collection can be used in any version of the game, the 'Phobia' collection can only be used in conjunction with games that have either the Corkscrew Follies/Added Attractions or Loopy Landscapes expansion packs.

Issues fixed[edit]
- The downloadable versions are already patched to be compatible with modern systems. The fixes below are for the original release.
Compatibility modes[edit]
Setting the game to run in compatibility mode can help fix many issues with launching and playing the game. To do this, right-click the .exe, open Properties and set the game to run in Windows 98 / Windows ME, Windows XP SP2, or Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode from the Compatibility tab.
Desktop composition[edit]
Some problems can be caused in Windows 7 and Windows Vista by having desktop composition enabled. To turn this off, check the 'Disable desktop composition' option from the Compatibility menu (right-click .exe > Properties > Compatibility).
Dialog boxes not opening/unable to save[edit]
Running RollerCoaster Tycoon with visual themes enabled can prevent the open/save dialog box from opening. To fix this, check the 'Disable visual themes' option from the Compatibility menu (right-click .exe > Properties > Compatibility).
Another save game issue can be caused by not running the game as an Administrator. To fix this, check the 'Run this program as an administrator' option from the Compatibility menu (right-click .exe > Properties > Compatibility).
