Great game, but some frustrations
I downloaded several weeks ago and have been pretty obsessed. I enjoy the new game design and challenges that come with leveling up. There’s definitely more to it then the original. HOWEVER, I’ve recently been super frustrated because my game has been crashing in the middle of play. Last week, it crashed in the middle of a card pack opening and I’m not sure if I even received those cards. Super irritating. This week, every time I try to edit a coaster, the game freezes up and I have to close it. When I select a node it gets all screwy. So I can’t even complete the coaster challenge let alone add new upgrades to my existing coasters. Even more irritating! While these issues aren’t constant, it’s enough to frustrate me enough to write this review. I still give 4 stars, however, because the overall gameplay is typically smooth and very fun. It always leaves me wanting to come back and play more, plus the double rewards every weekend is a huge plus in my opinion. I just wish some of these minor bugs would be fixed (and the Christmas themed stuff would go!!).

Perfect, but hate the card system
This game is pretty fun, and the graphics are attractive. It actually gets a lot easier to earn coins once you play for a few days. However, the card system is just a giant money grab. Understandable because all mobile games do similar things, but it’s getting to a point where I feel forced to buy card packs instead of enjoying a free-to-play game. Basically, my park has been covered in litter for the past two weeks because I cannot get a single janitor card to upgrade and place more. In the PC game you could hire as much staff as you wanted but had to pay more (in virtual currency). In this, I feel a bit screwed over. Right now I have to save up tickets to buy a more rare card pack but even that takes a while and it might not even give me that card. This is only one of the few instances where I felt very limited due to this system. Other than the disgusting state of my paths, it’s a fun, charming game!

This game is amazing!!!!!
I love Roller Coaster Tycoon so much, it’s one of my favorite games to play. I play this game on a daily basis. One of my favorite parts about the game is the randomness of the cards inside of the free card packs. Since the game gives you these cards randomly it’ll keep you interested so you’ll want to keep playing until you have all of the cards. Another one of my favorite features of this game is that sometimes when you tap on the peep thought bubbles you’ll gain appreciation hearts, which can be used for different things later on in the game. There is just one part about the appreciation heart system that I am not a huge fan of, I think that we should start gaining appreciation hearts at an earlier level so we have a higher chance to get them. Other than that minor thing I think the game is amazing, though it can be frustrating at times it’ll keep you constantly thinking about how to make your park guests as happy and content as possible. If you’re not sure about this game I highly recommend downloading it and giving it a shot. I hope everyone who reads this has a nice day.

Amazing game
This game is so fun!!! You can build your own theme parks. There is also different parks that you can build too. I really like how the money and tickets never run out and how the rides actually move. I also like that you can hear the people making noises on the rides. I like how the peeps talk to you and give you their opinions about your parks. You can also customize you park and it’s rides. I think this is fun because you don’t have to stick with a boring color for anything. Like in any theme park you have thrill rides, scary things, family rides, video games, restaurants, maintenance, bathrooms, and more! What’s really cool is that you have levels! Also you have awards and if you get them you can put them in your theme park! There is even awesome 👏 advertisements you can make about your various parks! This game is really awesome and I think that if you love building games you would really like it! The people that made this game did a great job and I hope that they will make more games like this!

Love it but with minor nostalgia.
This game is great! The 4 out 5 stars is perhaps a little biased. I grew up playing Roller Coaster Tycoon on my PC. I played that game from my early teen years all throughout my young adult life. One of the best parts of the game was the freedom to create YOUR park the way YOU wanted it to be. I initially felt like that was missing from this version of the game. However, as I play on into the game I find that that is not so, entirely. The game guides you somewhat towards what you need & where it is needed but with a little strategy & patience that freedom is given back to you. You build according to the cards you have but the game does a great job at awarding enough cards at the right times to keep a good amount of options open as to what to build next. If I had to explain the game to my fellow Roller Coaster tycoon vets in the simplest terms it would be: imagine the original Roller Coaster Tycoon but with more strategy skills required. All in all, I still love this game & hope it continues to be as accessible & FREE as it is at this moment.

Problem with editing the park
I’ve looked through some of the previous reviews to the game and have read about how it is hard to reorganise the park. There is now a way to do it but, it’s completely broken. I do love the premise of the game and do enjoy it but after trying to use the implemented editing feature I can’t actually replace my whole park without it being extremely painful. For some reason sometimes when I place a ride for example I’ll move the ride to where I want and the bar to confirm the building placement disappears to make it reappear I have to randomly tap on a bunch of buildings until the bar reappears and then 9 times out of 10 the ride disappears. I regret to say because of this I can’t get my park back to where it was and would have to reset my progress. Also in my opinion those arcade games that have been added are incredibly boring and I feel as if scenarios money should be independent I of that of the main park

Switching from main park to waterpark
I overall love this game, it’s so addicting and fun.
I do have one problem though, whenever I go to the waterpark, when I go back to main park from waterpark all my paths are always gone and fences in the main park, so I have to redo all the paths and it takes awhile. It’s a real shame because I can’t really go onto the water park or this happens. If you could fix this in your next update it would be appreciated, thank you!!

Has some good things, but needs a lot of work
Now, I like how in the game you can customize your own rollercoasters, but it also takes a lot of patience. The game, for me, doesn’t represent the goodness that is the Rollercoaster Tycoon franchise. I feel like with the other games in the franchise, it wasn’t as restrictive and there was more to do. This game and its gameplay just tends to feel very stunted and like a poor mans version of the others. It felt like it was made my a fan and not by Atari itself. This I say with complete honesty. I’m going to go download another Atari game, probably get the old version for 5.99 on my tablet here, because I’m currently bored. It also aggravated me how the people would always say the same thing. Like, it needs maintenance, or I love this, or love that, on a constant cycle. Now I know this is how it works, but the dialogue of the visitors to your park wasn’t very diverse and it was quite an influence for insanity (in my opinion) so I stopped clicking on the little people walking through my park because I expected the same thing. The other games, while they aren’t all the game and I wouldn’t expect them to be, at least had more diverse dialogue with the characters and things made more sense as they were more clarified. The point, this game has a lot of potential, but it needs a lot of work.
