A version of this game was developed for the {{Nintendo}} GameBoyColor, but bears no resemblance to the original aside from the name and general premise. Much like ''VideoGame/PokemonPinball'', the cartridge has a rumble pack.

''3-D Ultra Pinball: Thrill Ride'' is a [[DigitalPinballTables Digital Pinball]] game developed by Creator/{{Dynamix}} and published by Creator/{{Sierra}} for UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh and UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows. Based on the RealLife Hersheypark ThemePark in Hershey, Pennsylvania, the game requires the player to perform various ride related-tasks to score points, and ultimately try to stay through the night.

Most of the action takes place with the various Fun Zone puzzles on the primary table, but making key shots will open additional areas and events. You play as a guest visiting the park with one goal in mind: Ride every single ride in the park. Go on real-life rides like the Wildcat, the Coal Cracker, and the Wave Swinger, then warp over to the Thrill Zone mini-playfield for additional challenges. Visit the snack shop for bonuses and prizes, clear the rapids, and try to stick around long enough for Lights Out, and a chance to see the Nighttime Fantasy fireworks show.

Unlike earlier games in the series, ''Thrill Ride'' edges back to a more conventional {{pinball}} feel, de-emphasizing the overall quest in favor of simply getting a high score, making the game more accessible for casual players. The updated graphics engine supported resolutions up to 800 x 600 and High-Color displays, delivering great special effects and realistic graphics. The downside is its replayability; with only one main table and a few mini-games, there isn't much replay value, and most players will see everything the game has to offer in a few hours.

* NoFairCheating: Using a cheat code (skipping to the WizardMode, extending the timer on the ball saver, etc.) locks you out of entering your score into the Hall of Fame for that game.

* VideoMode: Sort of. Two rides in the Fun Zone will take you to a separate mini table with its own objective. The River Rapids, where you have to sink boulders to clear a path for the boats, and the Lightning Racer Virtual Coaster, where you hit bumpers build your own virtual roller coaster ''VideoGame/RollerCoasterTycoon'' style. You can even "ride" the coaster after time runs out.
* WizardMode: Available after you complete the game's six trials -- finish all five Fun Zone and Thrill Zone rides, spell THRILLRIDE, activate both multiballs, and complete "Nighttime Fantasy," a Sub-Wizard Mode where you shoot every ramp to start a fireworks display. This activates "Lights Out", where the player must hit all the light bulbs on the playfield to put them out, essentially closing the park for the night. Successfully doing so starts a variation of "Nighttime Fantasy", where you try to launch as many fireworks displays as you can.

* EverythingsBetterWithCows: In true pinball fashion, the Hershey Cow can be unlocked as one of the players in the Hide and Seek mode with a cheat code. Another cheat code can turn the waterfall leading to the Fun Zone into chocolate milk!

** Technically, ''Thrill Ride'' is a licensed game based on Hersheypark, but the connection is heavily downplayed and feels more like ProductPlacement instead -- most references are limited to a few cartoon characters based on Hershey products on the display, and an bonus video in the options menu advertising one of the rides from the park, the Lightning Racer.
