Atari announced today that the classic amusement park simulation franchise RollerCoaster Tycoon is coming back this spring for mobiles and PC.

The mobile version is appropriately titled RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile and it’s coming to iOS devices this spring (there’s no word on an Android version). It includes 20 pre-designed coasters and a “bevy” of new attractions and features, Atari said.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile lets you create and share your parks and includes Facebook and Game Center support. You’ll also be able to visit your friends’ parks and exchange roller coaster blueprints, too. The game will sell for $3 at launch.

Speaking of the PC version, Atari said on Twitter that a “PC experience” is currently in development and will launch this year. Unfortunately, that’s all that has been divulged for now.

Check out a trailer for the game below:
