Ultimate Ride

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.

The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Eric Bratcher of NextGen said of the game, "It's slightly under-ambitious, but this is one ride that you should definitely consider taking." Bad Hare of GamePro said, "Ultimate Ride succeeds where Rollercoaster Tycoon{{sic}} and even Sim Theme Park failed---it gives you the true sensation of riding a rollercoaster, the logical tools to build them, and the ability to show your work quickly and easily. If you're just looking for a creative adrenaline rush without a lot of hassles, check out Ultimate Ride."{{cite magazine|author=Bad Hare|date=November 6, 2001|url=http://www.gamepro.com/computer/pc/games/reviews/17965.shtml|title=Ultimate Ride Review for PC on GamePro.com|magazine=GamePro|publisher=IDG|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041222000927/http://www.gamepro.com/computer/pc/games/reviews/17965.shtml|archive-date=December 22, 2004|url-status=dead|access-date=October 23, 2021}}{{efn|GamePro gave the game two 4/5 scores for graphics and fun factor, and two 3.5/5 scores for sound and control.}}
