Summary: Great game, but get Disney Edition-the latest incarnation
Review: A couple points to make: 1) Get the latest version of the game, the Disney Edition. Otherwise, you may run into older bugs that will never be fixed. 2) Yes, this is an awesome coaster building game, but there is another available you MUST own if you're a coaster enthusiast or builder---No Limits Coaster Sim, only available via purchase from its web site. It's the best coaster sim available. 3) If you're serious about coasters and want the best, get Ultimate Ride and No Limits and you'll have the two best on the market. Just keep in mind that you will save money in the long run if you get the Disney Edition. I own the Coaster Deluxe version, which is great--but it has a couple of MP3 bugs that degrade its value slightly; some MP3's won't play correctly, no music play during coaster test mode/you can't tune your coaster to music. The Disney Edition corrects these flaws. They are all the same game with slight differences: Ultimate Ride = first incarnation, Ultimate Ride Coaster Deluxe = second incarnation/more goodies, Disney Edition = taylored for Disney, same great game with none of the bugs found in previous versions. In closing, you should buy the game NOW while it's still available. Don't forget to check out No Limits Coaster Sim, you will be extremely pleased with its dedication to realism.

Summary: Why get an un-realistic game?
Review: After buying this game, I found that it is a waste of money. For any roller coaster crazy person, I would recomend NoLimits, one of the best builders out there. (...)

Summary: DIsney does it again!
Review: As mentioned by a previous reviewer, Disney's first foray into a coaster sim was excellent. Well, they've far outdone themselves with this program! The interface is great, it's very easy to use, and it's great to add your own music to your coasters (something Disney Imagineering has started with their real life coasters is adding a soundtrack, such as at Space Mt in Disneyland, and California Screamin' at Disney's Califronia Adventure). I would like to see a couple more settings come out, but this is a great game - got it as soon as it went gold, and have not had a single crash yet on this P3 550 with 256 megs ram and a Geforce 2 video card. This is a quality coaster sim, and beats the pants off SimCoaster and roller Coaster Tycoon for this type of ride. I won both of those, and this Disney product is my favorite. What puts it over the top for me? GETTING TO RIDE MY COASTER and not having the limitations of the coaster that Sim Coaster has. I highly recommend this game! Buy it now! You'll love it!

Summary: The Ultimate Coaster program
Review: Disney has done it again. Their first coaster program was excellent for it's time. Ultimate Ride shows they haven't lost their ability to build a great program for Coaster fans. The interface is simple enough for everyone. Graphics are excellent. The only down side is something that Disney will probably be correcting - there needs to be more settings for the coasters. Even with this slight limitation the game is worth the cost. Must say that I paid more than what Amazon is charging. Once you start building you will find it hard to get yourself away from your PC.

Summary: Truly the Ultimate Coaster Game
Review: Disney has just taken the Coaster world to a new level with this amazing product. Learn the basics of Ultimate Ride's coaster contruction, as you bulild your way through missions, or create your dream coaster from the ground up! The interface is so brilliant, even children will quickly put together satisfying creations, while adults (and die hard coaster fans) will be surprised how sophisticated their coasters can become. With 3 track types, an superb editor, animated props, realistic sound, multiple landscapes, and MP3 music support, the possiblities are endless. Model your coasters for realism, or go out of control with a coaster that can only exist in fantasy world. Once Ultimate Ride pulls you in, you'll wish there were 48 hours in a day!

Summary: As good as it gets
Review: Have you ever been to Disney Quest? Well if you have, this game is exactly like the Cyber Spacemountain ride! It is fun, and exciting, and best of all, there is no financial limits! You don't have to by track pieces, or keep things real. Your rollercoaster can be the most dangerous ride in th world with no restrictions. Plus you can ride your ride when your done, and view it from all angles. The graphics are the best quality and there is so much fun stuff you can do with it. You just design and build, as well as set missions. A definite five stars.

Summary: This Sucks!
Review: I am I Roller Coaster freak...I'd spend $70 on a expansion pck for Roller Coaster Tycoon (my personal favorite). I got this game for Hannukah and I was really excited, but when I started playing it the mouse was so slow....It took me about 7 minutes to quit!

Summary: Great for all ages!
Review: I bought this for my (almost) 5 year old son, who is a roller coaster fanatic. The software is straightforward enough that, after a few times with adult help, he is now able to design and ride simple coasters by himself. In trying to make a coaster that will work, his cognitive thinking is being developed and all he knows is he is having a blast! And, best of all, there is enough complexity to keep the grown-ups amused as well, so I know that my son will use this for years to come. A great product, worth every penny.

Summary: Ultimate Ride maybe. Ultimate Game... no.
Review: I bought this game from Kmart in Australia for AUD$10.00 mainly because I absolutely love Theme Park World, I love making Roller Coasters and riding them, however in this game I found I got really bored really quickly. I built 3 roller coasters and rode them, this took me 2 hours (mainly because of the absolutely horrible viewing angles of the game), I rode them, then I got bored. This game only gives u 3 kinds of Roller Coasters to make in 4 different backgrounds, it has plenty of props, but most dont do anything, so they are all boring.

I tried the Imagineering section of the game, but found it pointless and again boring. It just seems that this game had absolutely no lasting value... Great game if you can get it on special, if not. Try for Theme Park World or maybe even Roller Coaster Tycoon.
