 Great addition to the original gameAug 17, 2005

RCT3 Soaked is the first expansion pack to be realeased and it solves some problems that have occured in the orginal RCT3. There are loads of new features and they all are very fun. Some of the things that are addressed are the tunnels. Like in the first and second edition, you can build tunnels right through walls. Also instead of having to click on a single person to view their opinions. There is a new button to group them all together like in the orginal RCT. This makes it easier to plan what you need to do to fix problems. The new feature gives you a concensus on peoples opinions. Also the mixmaster has been improved greatly. Now you can add water shows and lazer lights to it too. But the real improvement is the preview screen where you still select it, it will show you a preview of what it looks like. This feature is great since in RCT3 orginal. You had to put the fireworks in the schedule and then preview what it was by playing the whole fireworks segment. This makes it a lot easier to put fireworks together.
The new features in soaked are very good like you can build a water park altogether or add it with our original park so you can have a water park within a theme park. There are slides, flumes, and a river pool or lazy pools. Also a killer shark and dolphin show are here. It's like RCT 3 meets Sea World. There is also a neat shuttle hop on hop off transit shuttle. It looks like Universal Studios Backlot tour vehicles. They can be used as shuttles but you can place ride events like erupting volocano and make a ride out of it. It really makes it seem like the Backlot tour at Universal Studios. Many features plus a couple of new carnival type attractions and beach stores like sunscreen store keep this expansion pack fresh until the next expansion pack in Sept/Oct.
Of course, there is still room for more rides and attractions not yet released in this expansion pack, they are most likely saving those for the next expansion pack.
Great buy of any RCT 3 fan.

Good and, well goodMay 22, 2006
This game is great, but in some ways it lacks detail. Though it serves it purposes, it needs a wee bit of work.Heres the good and bad( thiis design is partially following after spotlight reviews) of the game
Good:
1. If you like waterslides, youll never want to play RCT3 without this EVER again. It is very addictive, and adds a lot of features.
2. The types of waterslides have variation.Starting from a tubeslide, to a lazy river, to a master blaster,and so on and so forth.
3Pool complexes have nice construction features. Like spas, wave machines etc.
Bad:
1.Although its nice to add a slide to your pool, thats where the slides are ONLY going to go. There is NO slide end runways, or pools JUST for the slide (you could make one, but people would just jump in who have'nt even gone on the slide.) for any of the slides.Excluding the H20 Slide (AKA Master blaster) but then youd have to make it in a complete circut.
2. It seems the peeps have never heard of a speed slide (you know, a tall body slide with one drop). You try making one using the body slide creator and all peeps will absolutley hate it. I havent tried the highest it can go, but trust me. Mine was pretty high.
3. The peeps lack just about any sense of danger. they will just swim right when someone exits a slide in the way they get out. Also when creating a body slide they let you go completely vertical.(like a full 90degrees !)Kinda unrealistic.
This game is definently a winner, despite its flaws.
So, buy it.

 This is a great gameJun 24, 2005
By M. Brookes
The Soaked expansion adds loads of new features to RCT3, including the ability to add water parks, waterfalls, lazer and water shows. There's also many new rides and coasters.
Paticuarly cool is watching the peeps play in teh swimming pools :-)
Anyone who does encounter a problem should visit the Atari forums, the developers are known to hang out there and there's lot of frindly fans to meet.

 Soaked?Jun 29, 2005
By Steve
I really enjoyed R.T.3 but this expansion pack is very hard to master and has a few bugs of its own. It takes forever to actually make a water fall work and is very frustrating.
You have the ability to build rides through terrain now but this to is virtually impossible to accomplish. And often the rides won't function. I receive constant pop-ups saying the ride stations are not long enough for the ride cars, even though you can see the cars sitting in the station. Terrain is a major problem as que lines no longer line up with the ground, forcing you to spend alot of time trying to adjust the surrounding land to the proper height.
This expansion pack, if anything, is very frustrating, much more so than the original problems with RT3.
In the first 2 version of this game it was very easy to build through mountains and underground, those days are long gone here. Unless you have hours to spend mastering this new stuff, you may want to think twice before you add this pack.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3:Soaked!Mar 23, 2006
By A. Patten
My whole family loves this game! It is much more fun than I thought it would be. We have every Rollercoaster Tycoon game available and they all just keep getting better. I love how realistic the situations are. I would recomend this game to anyone who likes the Tycoon type games.
