### 5/5 — Needs Soaked and Wild

*2026-07-10, version 1.0.4*

I like RTC3 but not having the Soaked DLC or even the Wild DLC that’s available on the PC version would be awesome 🤩 we have lots more options…

### 5/5 — Needs a update BADLY

*2026-06-27, version 1.0.4*

I’ve played this game since around 2015-2016 and I’ve loved this game since. The problem is that this game has not had a update in 10 years. I’m not sure if they just abandoned it at this point but I would love for them to update this game at least one more time.

### 5/5 — Best Game ever

*2026-06-08, version 1.0.4*

its amazing I just wished I doesn’t keep crashing every time I click on a sandbox.

### 4/5 — 2026 player

*2026-05-17, version 1.0.4*

I really like this game it has the charm that older games have but it really
needs to be optimized for newer iphone’s the borders are pretty bad but i really enjoy this so far.

### 1/5 — Park is Full

*2026-04-22, version 1.0.4*

I bought RCT 3 for iPad. It was great for a couple days. I was building a beautiful park and having fun. I had only built on maybe 1/4 of the land available. My iPad is new and I had a lot of space on iPad. However RCT3 suddenly gave me a message that my park was full and I could no longer build.

### 3/5 — Pools and slides

*2026-03-27, version 1.0.4*

They need to update the game and add in the option to build the water slides and pools

### 1/5 — Tycoon travel and rollercoaster

*2026-03-18, version 1.0.4*

They don't support any screen sizes a big problem at times. No way of getting in contact

### 5/5 — Can you please fix a river rapid

*2026-02-28, version 1.0.4*

Every time I try to add a drop it doesn’t work

### 3/5 — Is Good, but…….

*2026-02-26, version 1.0.4*

Game is as fun as I remember it in 2006, but needs to be updated for newer IOS. Could be optimized to run better with newer hardware.

### 5/5 — Can you please add a new coaster

*2026-02-12, version 1.0.4*

Can you pls add something else like a launch coaster.
