• On RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, the logo is on a white background, then a coaster rolls over the globe with cheering peeps.
• On Thrillville and Thrillville: Off the Rails, a homemade coaster rolls down a loop the loop near the globe. It wobbles and a wooden person falls off as the coaster makes it through the loop. The person falls back into the coaster car.
