*2026-08-10, version 1.2.435*

This is way better than RCT touch. Even though that it’s pixelated, it is still great! I can build roller coasters right away and name the rides. Get this instead of RCT touch.

I love Alton Towers, as I went for the first time in April 2026, and I loved it, I have been making Alton Towers in this game and it’s really good!

The only problem I have is when I build a coaster, most of the time it rolls back!! :(((

### 3/5 — No music or sound bug
