This game is considered to be mediocre by some fans because of the repetitive (and sometimes annoying) nature of the game and is generally considered to be Lawlor's worst table. Part of this can be attributed to the recovery from the fall of Creator/WilliamsElectronics and {{Creator/Bally}} at the TurnOfTheMillennium. However, this game can still be enjoyed if you set your standards accordingly.

''[=RollerCoaster=] Tycoon'' is a 2002 {{pinball}} machine released by {{Creator/Stern}}, designed by Creator/PatLawlor and based on the [[VideoGame/RollerCoasterTycoon PC game that started the franchise.]] Themed around an amusement park, the game allows you to build rides and stalls, activate some of the game's modes, and accumulate enough guests to become a Park Tycoon. Notable features on this game include a talking dummy in the upper left corner of the playfield, as well as colored habitrails on the ramps to resemble roller coaster rides.

* WizardMode: Park Tycoon. All four rides are lit "Yellow" as the mode starts out; the goal is to light and collect Jackpots from each of those rides. Then, the Super Jackpot lights at the Rocket, determined by how many Jackpots are collected before cashing in. The rides, no matter what state they're in, go back to "Red" and the sequence must be repeated again. This 4-ball multiball mode lasts about one minute.
