The Ultimate Ride (TUR)

I just got this today and it's awesome!

If you like RCT but wish you didn't have to manage an amusement park, you just want to build coasters then this game's for YOU!

The TUR build mode is similar to RCT but it's even easier to use and at LEAST 10 times more flexible. For example, you can change the pitch and bank of any curve or straightaway. You can change the pitch, bank and height of loops and twists, and you can make curves tighter or looser in several increments as well as changing the angle of a curve in several iincrements. The coasters you can build are AMAZING!

And you get to RIDE your creations! Careful if you have a weak stomach, I think you could actually give yourself motions sickness watching this too long.

Does anyone else have this game yet? What do you think?

Can you make the rides crash...?

('cause otherwise I'm not interested...

)

As far as I know, and I've owned the game for only 1 day, so I'm not sure, you can't make a ride crash, of course I haven't tried to either.

But considering the totally incredible things you can do with this game crashes are really kind of mundane.

If you like coasters then get this game! If it turns out that you really can't crash you'll have tried some totally awesome stunts trying to make it happen and you'll probably forget all about crashing coasters once you get caught up in the fun!

Are you some sort of Disney spokesman or something?

Does Disney make good rides...?

John-SJ:

Who is the manufacturer...? Is it possible to download a demo...?

It's a Disney game.

They have a demo, but you don't get to do anything, just ride around on premade coasters.

I don't think there is a great deal of gameplay anyways, all you do is build coasters and 'ride' them.

No, I don't work for Disney. Have you eveer liked a game enough that you want to share your experience? That's what I'm doing.

The game is by Disney Interactive and there is a demo which you can get at www.ultimateridegame.com

As Osweld says though, you can't build coasters in the demo, you can only ride the 3 pre-made posters that are part of the demo.

I just discovered last night, there is a career mode but I haven't tried it out yet.
