    'Q: How do I convert tracks from RCT or RCT2 into RCT3?
    A: Simply drop the TD6 or TD4 files in the My DocumentsRCT3Coasters folder; then when you run the game a new button will appear at the bottom of the rides button (it looks like a wrench and hammer). When you hover your pointer over new button, the tool tip reads 'Import Track Designs From Previous RollerCoaster Tycoon(r) Games.' When you click the button, a list of all the TD6 and TD4 files in the My DocumentsRCT3Coasters folder will be appear. The issue with some rides not importing is that the clearances are different in RCT1 and RCT2 so not all old coasters work. The game may have issues if you import an old coaster and the tracks run into each other. Hopefully most of the coasters import ok.'
