Jam-packed with content, players have enjoyed designing and building roller coasters and rides, landscaping, and managing their parks since the first game was introduced in 1999. Now, would-be theme park planners can relive the magic as they create daring drops, ludicrous loops, and spin-tingling spins in the pursuit of making their parks the best in the world.
The launch of RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic on the Nintendo Switch caps off an eventful year for the RCT franchise. In March 2024, Atari began a year-long celebration marking the 25th anniversary of Chris Sawyer’s iconic creation. Since then, the company has unveiled a number of RollerCoaster Tycoon merchandise and apparel collaborations, re-released RCT Classic for Android, rolled out significant expansions for the mobile title RCT Touch, and reacquired RCT 3 from Frontier, reuniting it with the franchise’s catalog.
RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is available now on Nintendo Switch for $24.99.
