Life is about to get a bit more wild as Atari announced today that developer Frontier has completed "RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Wild!", an adventure-filled expansion pack for the highly-successful "RollerCoaster Tycoon 3". Scheduled to ship to retail across Europe on November 4 for the Windows platform, "RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Wild!" invites tycoons of all ages to create and manage a safari-themed adventure park that features thrilling new rides as well as many different animal species to manage.

"RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Wild! is an incredible addition to the RollerCoaster Tycoon family," said Matt Collins, Director of Global Brand Management. "With a balance of animal management and extreme coasters, as well as heightened business opportunities and entertainment options galore, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Wild! will quench the thirst of RollerCoaster Tycoon fans."

"RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Wild!" retains the focus that has made the franchise so enduringly popular. Requiring "RollerCoaster Tycoon 3" to play, the game encourages players to increase their parks' cash flow through new attractions such as baby animals, new shops and billboards.

"RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Wild!" includes customizable animal shows, cutting-edge and classic theme park rides, and a slew of characters including a VIP, an animal keeper staff member and the tiger mascot - an old RollerCoaster Tycoon favorite. Players can now recreate their favorite safari-style theme parks, with elephant rides and the Paddle-Steam Cruiser, and choreograph animal shows using the RollerCoaster Tycoon MixMaster.
