CHANGES TO THE IN-GAME INTERFACE
This section describes the changes to the game interface where new features may be
accessed or adjusted.
MOUSE WHEEL SUPPORT
All menus, lists and dialog boxes that also include a vertical slider that can now be
scrolled using the mouse wheel.
CONTROL KEY SUPPORT FOR BUILDING STRUCTURES
Players who build structures will now be able to use the Control key to construct
elevated elements. See “Using the Control key to Build Elevated Scenery and Structures”
on page 18.
GAME OPTIONS
Warning: Only make adjustments to game options if you know your
computer is capable of running optimally with the settings you have selected. If, after adjusting some of the settings, your computer begins to show
performance degradation, open Game Options > Graphic Settings and click
the Graphics Detail Level icon to reset the game back to its default settings
for your PC.
Game Settings
Enable Live Content – This check box tells the game to connect to the internet and get
updated ads for billboards and brands for custom stalls.
Graphic Settings
The following new options have been added:
Refraction – When checked, all views through water will be affected by light refraction.
Laser Occlusion by Terrain and Scenery – When checked, laser shows will allow terrain
and scenery to block light beams. (To build laser shows, you must have the RollerCoaster
Tycoon 3: Soaked®! expansion pack installed.)
Anti-Aliasing Quality – This drop-down list allows you to select the amount of anti-aliasing that will be performed on the in-game scenes. Level 3 provides the highest degree of
anti-aliasing.
Use Environment Map On Flowing Water – When checked, adds additional properties to
bodies of flowing water, including the reflection of the environment on the surface.
PARK MANAGEMENT
Staff
After you place an entertainer in your park, one of the uniforms
available is a Tiger costume. In addition, you can hire an
Animal Keeper to look after the animals you’ve added to your
amusement park. Note: Animal Keepers are not required for
Lion Show, Tiger Show or the Elephant Transport Ride.
Attractions
Within the Attractions window, two additional options are
available: Viewing Galleries and Animals. Click on these icons
to display the list of each, giving you easier access to managing these attractions.
Challenges
Among the buttons under Park Management, is a button for displaying Challenges. The challenges window
displays a special opportunity to take advantage of a
temporary condition that affects your park and its
guests. If you meet the challenge, you’ll receive a
special bonus.

ADDITIONAL THEMES
Some of the object placement windows (such as rides, shops, and
scenery) now include selections for two added themes, Prehistoric
and Safari.
ADDITIONAL RIDES
Animals and Enclosures
Several rides have been added to the various categories under
the Rides button. In addition, two buttons have been added to
the Rides menu, one for purchasing animals and another for
building animal enclosures. Animal enclosures should be built
before purchasing any animals. See the tutorials for Building
Animal Enclosures and for Performing Animal Care for more
information.
ADDITIONAL SCENERY
Four scenery options have been added to the scenery buttons.
Terrain Surfaces
The Terrain Surfaces button allows you to add raised terrain in blocks, as well as
larger structures for marking the entrance to a new themed area. This allows you
to quickly add blocks of terrain to create terraced landscapes and elevated
Note: Tunnels and waterfalls may only be created using actual terrain and not
scenery.
these terrain surfaces.
Speaker Objects
Loud speakers have been added to both the selection of Path Extras, and to the
selection of Scenery Items. Speaker objects can be used just like any other
scenery element, except you may also assign a sound file to the object, adjust
the volume of the speaker, and turn it off or on. Adding speakers throughout the length
of a track ride, or along the path of a themed area allows you to give your park a more
immersive feel, and a higher park rating.
Passport Stations
Listed among the Path Extras is an element called Passport Stations. Peeps are
given a passport booklet as they enter the park. If peeps have their passport
specify how many stations are required by clicking on a Passport Station and using the
Passport Station control panel. The ideal strategy for using Passport Stations is to place
them far apart at the far reaches of your park, giving peeps a reason to visit all areas of
your amusement park.

Billboards
Real-world sponsors may now advertise in your amusement parks! Within the list of
Scenery buttons is a button for adding billboards. These billboards may be updated with
new advertisers while connected to the Internet. Income for your amusement park can be
generated by adding these billboards. You may also add your own images to billboards,
by using the “Custom Images” option.
ADDITIONS TO THE DASHBOARD
Escaped Animal Indicator
From time to time, an animal may escape from its enclosure causing some

ADDITIONAL TERRAIN TOOLS
Waterfalls
Added to the terrain tools buttons is a new selection for creating waterfalls. See
“Creating Waterfalls” on page 19.
TUNNEL ENHANCEMENT
You can now tunnel coasters into any angle of terrain including vertical, rather than just
through horizontal surfaces.
CUSTOMIZABLE SHOPS
The selection of stalls now includes Custom Stalls. After placing one of these shops, you
can choose the type of item which will be sold from them. For example, if you want your
Custom Stall to sell the same set of items that are normally sold at the Wild Toys shop,
just select “Wild Toys” from the drop-down list in the shop’s Sold Items window. Also
available are Custom Stalls with various types of billboards attached, which can have
custom images or real-world ads assigned to them.
PLACING ASSETS UNDERGROUND
You can now place scenery items, rides and shops underground by holding the Shift key
and dragging the mouse down. This is useful for adding elements to the underground
tunnels you’ve constructed
ANIMALS
One of the most exciting new features in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Wild! is the ability to
add animal exhibits and safaris to your amusement parks. To add an animal exhibit, you
must first build a fenced enclosure to keep the animals (and your guests!) safe.
CREATE ENCLOSURES
Click on the Rides button and then click on the
Enclosures button to open the Enclosure construction panel. This changes your cursor to a
ghosted 1x1 enclosure square. Click on an open
space, hold the mouse button and drag to create an enclosure. Release the mouse button
once you’ve dragged an appropriately sized
enclosure.
To add to an existing enclosure, just click inside
or adjacent to it, hold the mouse button, drag to expand the area, and release.
You can select different types of enclosure fencing by selecting an enclosure fence type
in the Enclosure construction panel.
To delete an enclosure fence, click on the Trash button in the Enclosure construction
menu, hold the mouse button and drag over the part of the enclosure you want to erase.
For best results, flatten the terrain for your animal enclosures before constructing any
enclosure fences. This will allow you to add Animal Houses where both animals and animal keepers may more easily use them.
PURCHASE ANIMALS
Once you’ve built an enclosure, you can add animals. To do this, click on the Rides button
and then click on the Purchase an Animal button. This displays a selection of available
10
j
11
j
RCT Wild manual 9/16/05 1:01 PM Page 12
animal types. Click on the small “plus” sign next to an animal type to display male and
female, adult and infant purchase prices.
Click on an animal and an animal crate will be attached to your pointer. Move the crate
over the spot where you want the animal delivered and click to drop the crate and deliver
the animal.
ANIMAL HOUSES
In order to keep your animals happy, you need to build
them an animal house, where they can feed and find a
bit of privacy away from the adoring park guests. To
add an animal house, click the Animal House button
on the Enclosure panel. This will display icons for different types of animal houses. Hover your mouse over
each icon in the Animal House construction panel to
see a list of all the animals for which each animal
house may be used. Click on the appropriate type
attach an Animal House to your cursor. Click inside of
any existing enclosure to place it there.
VIEWING GALLERIES
Viewing galleries are structures where you can charge
your park guests to get a close-up view of the animal
exhibits in your parks. To create a viewing gallery,
select the Viewing Gallery button in the Enclosure
construction panel, and then select the desired size of
the viewing gallery you want to add. A ghost image of
the viewing gallery will appear. Move the pointer over
the fence of the enclosure and click the mouse button
to place it there.
You can add as many viewing galleries as will fit on the fences of an enclosure. Viewing
galleries must be connected to the main path and opened like other attractions and
shops.
ANIMAL WINDOW
Click on an animal to bring up the Animal control panel associated with it. Click on the Animal Details button to rename the animal, center the camera on it, activate the AnimalCam, sell the
animal, release it, or pick it up.
Click on the Animal Stats button to see important information
about the animal, including the animal’s current health level, its
satisfaction with its habitat, hunger and thirst levels, its current
social satisfaction levels, and the animal’s level of cleanliness.
Keep hunger and thirst low and all the other levels as high as
possible to keep park guest enjoyment high and to prevent the Animal Protection League
from confiscating the animal.
To affect these levels, add enough animal houses to allow all the animals in the enclosure to feed at will, and add enough highly trained Animal Keepers to refill the food
troughs and clean up after the animals.
Click on the Thoughts button to see what the park guests think about this particular animal.
Click the Animal Info button to display a panel with details that will help you decide what
scenery, terrain types, enclosure size and vegetation to add to the animal’s enclosure. In
this panel you’ll also find information indicating gestation period and average size of litter, as well as the animal’s rarity factor (which will determine the sale price of the animal
or its offspring).
Animals have an Adoption Fee button, which allows you to raise funds from park guests
for food and healthcare of that animal. Each time a guest sees an animal, there is a
chance that they will decide to adopt it. Make sure you take very good care of an animal
that has adopters – if the animal’s health decreases too much or you raise the adoption

fee too high, the guest may stop his or her payments. Income obtained through adoption
fees is added to your cash amount. Park guests who adopt animals will also experience
an increase in their happiness levels.
ANIMALCAM
Once you have animals in the park, you can see the world from their perspective using the
AnimalCam. The AnimalCam works just like the CoasterCam. To activate it, double-click an
animal to bring up its Animal control panel and then double-click on the mini-view of the
animal to open the AnimalCam. To turn off the animal’s camera, or switch to another camera, move the cursor to the bottom right of the screen and click on that option.
ENRICHMENT
You can purchase enrichment objects from the
Enclosure construction panel that will help your animals have a happier, healthier existence. Select an
enrichment object and drop it into the enclosure. The
animal will play with the object and become happier.
The enrichment object will slowly degrade as the animals use it, so you’ll need to replace
the objects periodically.
PREDATOR/PREY
Predators will attack prey. For example, if you drop a lion in an enclosure with several
zebras, it may get hungry and decide to have one of the zebras for a snack. You will lose
any investment in animals that fall victim to a predator, including all adoption income.
It’s best to keep carnivores of the same species in an animal enclosure reserved just for
them. Herbivores may be mixed together in the same enclosure provided you have
enough room and enough of the appropriate types of animal houses for each animal.
BREEDING
To allow breeding,
an adult male and
same species must be in the same enclosure, must be very healthy and must have not
recently bred. The enclosure must also have space for another animal. When one of your
animal pairs breeds, you will be notified via the dashboard.
female animal of the
DART CAM
If an animal escapes – either through fence breakdown
or deliberate placement, you must use DartCam to capture it. Click on the escaped animal and then click on the
Dart button, or click on the flashing icon in the dashboard. This enters the DartCam. Move the camera by
holding down the left mouse button, cycle through
escaped animals, or exit DartCam, by dragging the cursor over the panel in the bottom-right of the screen.
Toggle the crosshair by pressing the right mouse button.
When the crosshair is displayed, fire the rifle by clicking
the left mouse button. Once the animal is tranquilized it will be crated up. Exit DartCam
and click the crated animal to attach it to your pointer and drop it back into its enclosure
by clicking there.
Prevent further escapes by clicking on a viewing gallery for the animal enclosure with the
damaged fence, clicking the Maintenance button, and then clicking the Call For Repairs
Note: A damaged fence for an animal enclosure cannot be repaired until at least
button.
one viewing gallery has been added to it.

CREATING LION AND TIGER SHOWS
When you add a lion or tiger show, it will come with a default
show. You may customize the show by clicking on the attraction, and clicking the MixMaster button (found in the lowerright corner of the attraction control panel). You may also add
music and other show elements (such as fireworks) to a lion
and tiger show.
Finally, add an entrance and exit, connect a path to exit and entrance and ‘open’the
show just like other attractions.
After you’ve placed the show, you can customize the show by clicking the RCT3
MixMaster button found in the Show control panel.
The RCT3 MixMaster sequencer interface allows you to choreograph moves in any order
you want by clicking in the timeline. To preview the show, move the mouse backwards
and forwards to ‘scrub’through the sequence you’ve created or click the Play button.
Save your show just like you save a firework shows.
RIDES WITH EXTRA FEATURES
The following are some of the coasters included in RollerCoaster Tycoon: Wild! that
include extra features:
SPLITTING COASTER
The Splitting Coaster is designed as two sets of connected track, each of which supports
its own independent vehicle or train of vehicles. The track is designed to split and reconnect throughout the ride, and the seats can be fixed or rotating. See the Tutorials for
instructions on how to build a Splitting Coaster.
TOWERING COASTER
The Tower Coaster track is based around a main tower structure, which incorporates a
vertical lift hill and overhanging drop. The drop itself is so extreme that magnetic break-
ing systems in the tower are used to prevent the car from inducing forces of more than 6
Gs in its passengers.
ROBOTIC COASTER
This coaster uses a robotic arm with seats on the end,
modified to run along a heavy Wild Mouse-style track. The
robotic arm’s parameters may be set for each track piece.
After building the track, select a track piece, and then click
the Edit Robot Arm Angles button to show the settings
selections panel of the Coaster construction panel.
Tick the Enable box and then choose the values for each of
the four settings. The four settings are:
1. Seating Compartment Roll
2. Forearm Pitch
3. Upper-arm Pitch
4. Coaster Car Yaw
Modify the arm’s settings by clicking on the various spinners.
The Robotic Arm will change position to reflect the settings.
Along the right edge of the panel are buttons that allow you to copy the values from the
previous track piece, the next track piece or the reset the values to zero.
A blue ghost version of the arm will appear on the track pieces where the roll, pitch and
yaw values are enabled and whose settings are different from the previous track piece.
As the arm travels along the track, it will move smoothly between the settings of one
track piece and the next.
DIZZY DROPPER COASTER
The Dizzy Dropper coaster runs on a specially constructed ‘sideways’ track, giving the
riders an unobstructed view out over the park. The cars are flown by autopilot.

WILD!
FEATURES
TUTORIALS
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Wild! includes tutorials for several of the new features, including
how to construct Animal Enclosures, Wild Coasters, and Safari Transports; how to conduct Animal Care; and how to customize Lion and Tiger Shows. The tutorials can be
found in the main menus of the game.
HIRING THE ANIMAL KEEPER
The Animal Keeper is an employee added to the list of staff members available in Wild!
and has employee options similar to other staff members and is needed for looking after
the care and feeding of animals in your park. When an animal house is added, one keeper is automatically hired. But as the population for an animal enclosure grows, additional
animal keepers may be required to keep the animals healthy.
Note: Animal Keepers are not required for the lion show, the tiger show, the elephant
transport ride, the insect, reptile, or nocturnal animal houses or any animals appearing
in your park from other expansion packs.
USING THE CONTROL KEY TO BUILD ELEVATED SCENERY AND STRUCTURES
A new and improved method for building elevated portions buildings and scenery (such
as roofs) can now be accomplished using the Control key. Use the following steps to
learn how to do this.
After you’ve built the walls of a structure, build the roofline attached to the top of the
wall. This is accomplished in the same way as with
first select a roof piece from the scenery structures menu, and then position the pointer
where you want to place the roof piece, hold the Shift key and nudge the mouse up until
the piece is positioned correctly. Now click to place it there. To add another roof piece at
same height, move the pointer so it touches the previously placed roof-piece, and
the
then press the Control key. This action assigns that height to the Control key so when
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, where you
you are placing any additional scenery items in your park and hold down the Control key,
it will be placed at that height. This is particularly useful for building large expanses of
roof and platforms.
CREATING WATERFALLS
Waterfalls can only be constructed between
two adjacent bodies of water where one is
higher than the other.
First, modify the terrain to create a raised area
— for best results, use the “Multi-tile freeform
terrain shaping” tool. Next, create a pit on the
raised area and then add water (consult the
RollerCoaster Tycoon®3 manual for instructions
on adding water bodies). This higher water
body must have a flat / straight edge over
which you want the water to flow. Then, create
a pit at the base of the raised area and add water there, too, ensuring that there is at
least some water in the lower body that is roughly underneath the flat / straight edge
over which you want the water to flow.
Finally, click the Waterfalls button to activate the waterfall function, then first click the
raised water body to select it, and then click the lower water body to select it. If the terrain has been formed properly, a waterfall will be created automatically. The width of the
waterfall is selected based on the narrower of a) the length of the flat / straight edge on
the raised water body; and b) the width of the lower water body underneath this edge
into which the waterfall will discharge. Use this information to create waterfalls of whatever height and width you choose.

Great News! We’ve improved our Automated Systems so that you can get product-specific
Troubleshooting help more quickly. All you need to do is enter the product’s Part # when prompted to
do so. This will take you directly to all of our known issues and solutions for this title. The product’s
Part # is located in several places (on the CD label, package and/or plastic disc case) and is usually
identified by a number such as
five digits of your product’s Part #. (For example, Part # 04-12345 would require that you enter the
“12345” portion of the number for that product.) Note: Some products simply feature a five-digit Part
# without an “04-” prefix.
Live support is generally available Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM until 6:00 PM (Pacific Time).
Note: We may be closed on major holidays.
