COASTER ROCK

VIDEO GAME XPERIENCE

TRIBUTE ABLUM BACKGROUND

This was the debut album that opened up the Radio Version Series formerly listed under the MRC Channel that was created under the Threshold Flagship. But when the Whiteout Flagship came out and divided the MLX Channel into four Series with the last being Video Game Xperience (in an effort to cover all video game tributes going into the future), this album was moved from the MRC Channel to that series becoming the first album under the VGX. 

 

The inspiration for creating this tribute goes to Frontier Developments, a video game development and publishing company located in the UK,  as they were just releasing the video game of Planet Coaster which became a smash hit among the theme park builder fans who were yawning for a successor to the famous hit classic video game of Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. So take a bumpy ride on a theme park adventure as roller coasters, monorails, and safari rides guide you along a fun fiasco as circus clown and carnival music unravels in a mixed bag-a-bond of theme parks and roller coaster rock and video game soundtrack music. 

CRK pays a unique Tribute to country and rock Music Artist along with a Special Tribute to Video Game Developers and Publishers of Rollercoaster Tycoon®, Theme Park Studios, & Planet Coaster™. Tribute Album is based on the games of RCT 2, RCT 3, Theme Park Studios, & Planet Coaster. Dedicated to all Fans of Theme Park Simulation & Rollercoaster Builder Video Games.​​
