Atari has today announced that an updated version of theme park sim RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures will be looping its way back around to Switch later this year in a new deluxe form.

RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures Deluxe adds 80 brand-new rides and attractions, bringing the grand total up to a nice round 200. There have also been improvements made to the game's interface to better work with controller inputs and to the coaster builder so that you can design new rides for your park with ease.

With the increased number of customisation options from developers Graphite Lab and Nvizzio Games, we are expecting to see some pretty detailed park layouts when the upgraded game releases later this year. We don't have an official release date for this one just yet, so be sure to keep an eye out over the coming months.

For a little more information on some of the game's features and a look at some screenshots, check out the following from Atari:

We had a good time reliving our retro theme park management days when the first RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures was released on Switch back in 2018, though we felt that the experience was let down by some design and technical hitches. Here's hoping that the deluxe edition can continue to improve for the second time out on the track.

Will you be getting in line for this deluxe ride? Let us know in the comments.

Note. A previous version of this article gave the developer as Orbit Studio. This has now been updated.
