Trivia

 * RollerCoasterBuilder was one of the first PC games to be released on a CD-ROM.
 * The Sega CD port of RollerCoasterBuilder is basically an expansion pack for the Sega Genesis cartridge port.
 * RCB X was the last game to support Windows 7.
 * The POV technology used in the game would be reused on several TechEruo NOLA developed FPSs.

RCB vs. RCT
Roller Coaster Tycoon got sued by Roller Coaster Builder in 2000 for being too similar, however, Chris Sawyer won the case due to the fact that there was a campaign mode in his game but not RCB, which is solely focused on being a "SimCity of theme parks" and the fact he never even played Roller Coaster Builder when he made the game.
