Introduction: RollerCoasterTycoon 1 - Title Theme Extended Version - Solo Piano Arrangement

About: Hi! My name is Lucas and I am the 2007 K'nexpert grandprize winner! I build awesome Roller Coasters and Ball Machines so stayed tuned for my first instructable on one! Or at least pics and vids... I am also an…

Who can resist the amazing lure to build, own and operate amazing amusement parks and thrill rides?

I sure can't!! I have absolutely loved playing all the RollerCoasterTycoon PC games since I was 8 years old... in fact, it was most definitely these games that inspired me to work towards an engineering degree and eventually desire to design theme parks. Not to mention I LOVE thrill rides in real life as well, especially roller coasters!

Anyway, in tribute to the amazing game, and its awesome music that is so inspiring and uplifting in so many ways, I arranged an entire piano solo for the main title theme to the first RollerCoasterTycoon games. Specifically the deluxe version with the added expansion packs (The one I personally played).

Overall this project took around 2 days (If you put all the hours I put into it end to end), and all I had to work with were my ears, the original song and my copy of the Finale 2011 notation software. Nothing else. I simply listened to it over and over and over until I had every single note in exactly the right place and key. It's not perfect, but it sure sounds epic!

I hope you all enjoy trying this out and playing it! I haven't worked out if it's entirely playable yet, though I am not an extremely advanced pianist, so I'm sure there's others out there better than me that can do it if I can't.

As an added bonus, I included some screenshots of the game's epic pre-built coasters in the scenarios as well as the other coasters I added in as I played them.

My YouTube Channel is ColoradoContraptions (https://www.youtube.com/user/ColoradoContraptions/)and I have tons of other good stuff on there to check out. Soon I'll post a video of the piece (Played through my computer software) so you can hear what it's supposed to sound like and compare it to the original theme that's already on YouTube in many places.

Thanks for looking at this, and happy playing and Tycoon-ing! :D ;)
