Chris Sawyer originally wanted to create a sequel to his highly successful Transport Tycoon, but after becoming obsessed with roller coasters, he changed the project into RollerCoaster Tycoon.

Chris Sawyer will create a 2nd add-on pack for RollerCoaster Tycoon, to be released through Hasbro Interactive towards the end of the year. The new pack will focus on adding more scenery, themes, parks, and new challenges, but will ... include a selection of new roller coasters, rides, and stalls. The working title for the new pack is "Loopy Landscapes".
