WELCOME TO TIME TWISTER!
Experience a Jurassic safari, confront a mythical skeleton army and relive the golden age of rock ‘n roll — it’s a trip back through time and forward into the future with RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Time Twister! History has never been more fun or addictive!
WHAT’S NEW
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Time Twister contains 14 new scenarios — with themes from six terrific time periods — that you can explore at your own pace. It also includes new rides and scenery options, but we’ll let you find those on your own. Here are some brief descriptions of the challenges that await you in Time Twister:
PREHISTORIC
Jurassic Safari
You’ve been given the task of constructing a Jurassic-era theme park.
To optimize your visitors’ access to the exotic plant and animal exhibits, you will need to build rides going over and into the valley.
After the Asteroid
You own a dusty old meteor crater. In the true entrepreneurial spirit,
you’ve decided to construct an asteroid theme park and convert your seemingly worthless land into a sizeable fortune.
Stone Age
To thwart the highway developers and preserve the mysterious circle of
ancient stones, you will need to construct a Stone Age theme park and turn a profit. However, attracting visitors might pose a challenge, as the terrain can be a tad inhospitable.
SETUP AND INSTALLATION
NOTE: You must have the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 CD-ROM game installed on your computer in order to install and play RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Time Twister.
1. Start Windows® 98/Me/2000/XP.
2. Insert the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Time Twister CD-ROM game disc into your CD-ROM drive.
3. If AutoPlay is enabled, a title screen should appear. If AutoPlay is not enabled, or the instal­lation does not start automatically, click on the Start button on your Windows® taskbar, then on Run. Type D:\Setup and click on OK. Note: If your CD-ROM drive is assigned to a letter other than D, substitute that letter.
4. Follow the remainder of the on-screen instructions to finish installing the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Time Twister CD-ROM game.
5. Once installation is complete, launch RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 as you normally would — the
Time Twister expansion pack scenarios will appear in the same areas as the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 scenarios, at the top of the list.
Note:You must have the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 game disc in your CD-ROM drive to play.
Installation of DirectX®
The RollerCoaster Tycoon 2:Time Twister CD-ROM requires DirectX® 8.1 or higher in order to run. If you do not have DirectX® 8.1 or higher installed on your computer, click “Yes” when asked if you would like to install it.
SAVING AND LOADING
Saving and loading games and rides in Time Twister is exactly the same as saving and loading games and rides in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2.

most out of your urban property, build a skyscraper theme park inspired by the soaring art deco architecture of the twenties.

Cradle of Civilization
You own an island of particular archaeological value. You’ve decided to fund its preservation by constructing a theme park based on the area’s rich mythological heritage.
DARK AGE

Local members of the battle re-enactment society are rather serious
about their hobby. They’ve entrusted you with the job of constructing a Dark Age theme park on the grounds of Cliffside Castle.

your Merry Men have decided to build a theme park in Sherwood Forest.
