This will be a real time updated thing, so guess I'll start right away with some minimal starting tutorials/links/tips etc.. Also as kind of a reference spot for myself..

1.1 Getting started

1. Install the game (usually at C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 3)
2. Install the expansions Soaked and Wild!
3. Install patch 3 for Wild! (follow instructions at this link)
4. Edit your display settings. Also make sure the correct screen resolution is set. There are a limited set of resolutions available, and I myself had the manually insert the right resolution for my 1680x1050 screen. My settings file is located at C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Atari\RCT3. When you've set your resolution in the game the first line should say which resolution the game is running at. I had to change it to 'Resolution 1680 1050'. Just type your correct resolution instead and save the file (yes, overwrite it).

Now that we've done the technical part, it's time to venture into some different game modes which are available to play.

You might want to tell people to make a copy of the settings file and store it elsewhere before editing the original. Just in case of a problem.

Good start, Frags!
