Development and release

It was released on September 26, 2001, alongside a website, by Walt Disney Imagineering, for members to upload and share their designs and rate rides based on Adrenaline, Technique and Originality. Designers of each week's five top-rated rides were awarded "Roller God" titles.

Two versions released in 2002, "Ultimate Ride Coaster Deluxe" and "Disney Coaster", added new features. The website closed in 2003.

Reception

Eric Bratcher reviewed the PC version of the game for Next Generation, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "It's slightly under-ambitious, but this is one ride that you should definitely consider taking."[2]
