Apparently Atari is considering RCT4 here http://forums.atari.com/showthread.php?t=6853&highlight=sequel
My first thought was, why? RCT3 is pretty much perfect. Yeah it could have better path finding and putting roads on slopes could be a lot easier, but other than that, the game is perfect! What can they do to justify RTC4?

I think maybe better graphics...? I'm not implying that the ones in RCT3 are bad, no, and frankly I like them. But still, it'd be nice if they improved them just a tad.
Other than that there isn't a whole lot that comes to mind about things to improve... but if they pull it off and manage to make it better than RCT3 I'll be surprised.
Oh yes; thanks for sharing, Ricky.

I never took to RCT 3 (i have it plus the soaked add on) and I am a huge fan of RCT/RCT2 (still play them to this day).

Slightly edited, but this is pretty much what I was going to say.
Unfortunately, Windows 7 doesn't like them and my laptop won't play fullscreen games without dying.

I can only play RCT1 on an old PC, but RCT2 works fine on XP.
Does it not even work with compatibility mode on?

I got one of them to run but it froze and I lost my work. Plus, for some reason my laptop overheats when even the simplest applications run fullscreen.

I thought they started RCT4 but released it under a different name?? It wasnt very good, either. Ask Nick or something, he's pretty much an expert on the subject

Was that Thrillville?
If I remember right, it had a lot of mini-games. I'm sure a true RCT4 would go back to the essentials.
I wouldn't be opposed to a 3D RCT4 that uses RCT1 and 2's perspective. ...Except my laptop wouldn't run it.

Wait, RCT3 was pretty much perfect? Quite frankly, besides having a little easier of a time seeing what I was making and being able to ride my roller coasters... I thought RCT3 was pretty horrid. The performance was horrible, the graphics barely justified any of it, the game was rushed out and littered with a ton of bugs which are still not to this day fixed (Waterparks are horribly glitchy at night and Atari refuses to acknowledge the bugs exist. RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 was amazing and had fantastic expansion packs. RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 was basically RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 but better, even though it's expansion packs seemed a little weak with regard to theme, it still added a ton to the game. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 seemed like a face plant for as long as I can remember. The expansion packs were weak and left too much to be expected, and we all kind of gravitated to Sandbox mode which was fine, but provided no challenge and I can't sit back and make a good scenario because I know myself too well to make it fun and challenging. I would've rather far better scenarios.
Sorry, I didn't mean for my rant to go on... but if they can fix what they broke in RCT3, I'm all for seeing a series revamp. However if they plan to simplify it like EA did SimCity in Societies, I'm ignoring any news from this point forth because it's depressing.

Id like an RCT that is 3d, but on a smaller scale, with detailled terrains and smooth terrain sculptor tools.

I haven't played soaked so I don't know what bugs are in it. They patched most of the major bugs in RCT3 and i agree with you, when it came out it was half baked. I liked the graphical style in 3 and don't really have any performance issues. The only thing that's really game breaking is the way the game handles paths on slopes.
Anyway some features I would demand are
-support for curved loading stations
-much better lighting and support for dark rides
-building things outside of the park, hotels, resorts. restaurants, parking lots etc....
-much more willingness for the guests to explore the park
-making the guests leave at night just like we do in real life (although this might slow the game down to much)

I want a port of RCT 1 or 2 for the PSP or DS/3DS.
Though being able to play RCT anywhere could be dangerous. I might forget to eat.

I would love to see a remake of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 with 3D graphics but keep the perspective. You don't need to keep it isometric, because then the point of having 3D graphics is kind of moot, however I think todays graphics cards can handle detailed rides if you're not looking out into the horizon (which is unnecessary) and with dual and quad core processors becoming a standard, I think processing the game wouldn't be much of a problem. I look forward to learning more about a RCT4. I'm just treading cautiously.

After seeing the horrible ports of sim city and zoo tycoon to the DS, I'm gonna say no. Watching good games get raped is too painful.

Fixed. It could be done!
I'd say iPad port but I have not the funds for an iPad and it's not as portable.
