Yesterday I redownloaded it and the coasters were glitching and everything was spinning and I got motion sick. ### 1/5 — Used to be good but now it’s just going all over the place *2021-03-06, version 2.0* It just zooms around ### 4/5 — No way to not like it! But.. *2020-11-08, version 2.0* This is great app I can make my own roller coster and stuff but why can’t I make it online? But everything else. NoIcE! ### 3/5 — Okay *2018-12-24, version 2.0* This game is okay but sometimes when my friends come over to my house each of us will sit in a chair and another person will shake the chair so it feels real ### 1/5 — This app is trash *2018-11-21, version 2.0* This app is trash don’t spend your time in it. ITS TRASHHHHHH (with 6 h’s) ### 5/5 — The best of all!!!!! *2018-11-03, version 2.0* This is so good game add more updates so it’s better then it is now I love doing videos on the game my YouTube channel. It’s called hyper for games!!!😜😜 ### 5/5 — Wow! Great Graphics, Great Thrills *2018-09-05, version 2.0* Wow! I don’t get how all these reviews are not so good! First of all, I have to say, if these roller coasters don’t move for you, that is just your device’s problem, not the game. The roller coasters don’t make YOU move, but that is because it’s not an arcade roller coaster crazy weird thing! And, I have to admit, I don’t really like roller coasters. This game is where you can build roller coasters and ride them, not to actually feel the thrills! Second of all, this game has great graphics! It’s like you are really on the coaster, but not feeling it! OMG, I LOVE THAT:) ### 1/5 — Booster more like wrecker *2018-01-20, version 2.0* Plz fix this game because every time I make a good ride and I hit da booster the cart just drops and it restarts the whole game ## Frequently asked questions about Roller Coaster Simulator ### What can I do with Roller Coaster Simulator?
