About This File
Back in August 2004, a couple months before the release of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, screenshots of the menu have been unveiled on IGN, showcasing what appears to be an attract mode reminiscent of RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 and 2. When RCT3 became playable to the general public in pressed demo discs in September that year, the main menu played a familiar, catchy tune that has been the default overworld theme ever since, complete with the same video FMV.
Here's the FMV in action in a pre-release build of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3.
Come November 2004 with the full game out in stores, and fans were disappointed that the attract mode FMV was replaced with a generic slideshow and many felt that this decision marked the beginning of the downfall.
This download serves to restore the functionality of an element that was removed from RCT3 prior to release. However, I had to remove the "Summer Air" audio from the videos so they do not overlap with the music that plays within the main menu separately.
This download is compatible with all versions of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. Instructions for use appear in the readme file.
