Roller Coaster Tycoon by far. #1 is my favorite game of all time, #2 was a very worthy successor, while #3 is shunned. :/

In case you don't know, my user name's based off of Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Why didn't you like 3? 

RCT 3 was horrible.

The franchise was meant to be in 2D. The 3D broke the fun.

But you could RIDE the ride.  I loved all the the RCT games, but 3 is my favorite.

I'll use this as an explanation of why I didn't like RCT3

 

RCT3 allowed you to ride rides, yes. I was very excited, but then I found it came at a cost. The simplicity of building stuff went away. I could not build roller coasters with a tenth of the excitement and complexity as the previous two games. This took away the fun of riding rides. The lack of emphasis if completing objectives made it feel too "sandbox" like. I know it's good to have a sandbox mode for the creative, but there was no challenge and monitering.

Hopefully, there will be a game that has the rideing your rides and custumization of RCT3, along with the challenges and simplicity of RCT2, and most importaintly, the magic of RCT.
