Stern Announces - Roller Tycoon Pinball Sweepstakes
Stern's ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON pinball machine will be part of the "Grand Prize" and "First Prize" packages awarded to the creators of the ultimate roller coaster in Infogrames' RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 "Ultimate Tycoon Challenge." The sweepstakes began with the release of the game on PC CD-ROM game and ends on January 31, 2003. ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON pinball will be prominently featured on sweepstakes flyers in over 750,000 RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 game boxes nationwide.
Uploaded to the new RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Web site, each roller coaster entry will be judged on creativity, practicality and functionality, to include ride measurements of maximum speed, G-forces, highest drop height, as well as such ride variables as intensity, excitement and nausea. "The most fantastically wild and gut-wrenching coaster is yet to be designed," said Ann Marie Bland, Brand Director for Infogrames, Inc. "The thrill-seeking public will undoubtedly rise to the challenge presented by Infogrames, making the launch of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, one of the most notable PC events of 2002."
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 will be supported by a multi-million dollar, national TV, advertising campaign and will have point-of-purchase displays at retail locations around the country. "Our ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON pinball will be widely featured as part of the Ultimate Tycoon Challenge and on the official RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Web site at www.rollercoastertycoon2.com," Gary Stern said. "Gamers will know this pinball, and likewise its exposure to homeowners and casual players will enhance its appeal."
To date, RollerCoaster Tycoon and its two expansion packs, Loopy Landscapes and Corkscrew Follies, have sold over five million units worldwide. Through an exclusive licensing agreement with Six Flags® Inc., the world's largest regional theme park company, five Six Flags theme parks and 25 of the most exciting Six Flags thrill rides will be available to players in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2.
