### 4/5 — Love this game!

*2026-08-04, version 1.2.435*

There needs to be a park entrance fee option ASAP! Other than that it’s amazing!

### 3/5 — No music or sound bug

*2026-06-19, version 1.2.435*

Pretty sweet! The only issue is that there’s no music and no sound (using iPad)🙁

### 4/5 — Please allow backbone controller support

*2026-06-17, version 1.2.435*

Please allow backbone controller support

### 3/5 — Need more Object Selection

*2026-06-15, version 1.2.435*

Can you please add a way for more than 128 object selection for personal scenario play!
128 is not enough!
Not enough ride selections or scenery, etc.
Thank you

### 3/5 — Add mouse support and update screen size for latest devices!

*2026-06-15, version 1.2.435*

.

### 4/5 — ローラーコースタータイクーンの値段は本当に良い値段だ

*2026-05-31*

RCT2とセーブデータに互換性がある点はいいね
あと、清掃員を賢くしてほしい。広場に入るとずっとぐるぐるしてる。

### 3/5 — Love the game, Hate the minor glitches.

*2026-05-26, version 1.2.435*

After I create my own park where you can choose all the rides, scenery, etc. etc. sometimes while playing that scenario the tool bar with the scenery selections has certain tabs that disappear. Like the gardens, trees etc. 
Does anyone have a solution because I like decorating my parks with the objects I selected for those specific scenarios. 

Other than that issue, the game is awesome.

### 4/5 — I love this game!!!!! But…..

*2026-05-16, version 1.2.435*

I want to use the Disable Clearance Checks cheat but I’m on mobile and I can only use that cheat in Open Rct2 and I feel like this game should have features of Open Rct2.

### 4/5 — All scenarios

*2026-05-09, version 1.2.435*

The game is great but you should add an option to buy all the scenarios or one group of them at a time for those who do not want to unlock them by completing the tasks in the one before.

### 4/5 — Love this game - But keeps crashing

*2026-04-21, version 1.2.435*

Just like another recent review says, it keeps crashing on magic quarters specifically, but also just random crashes more and more. I’ve played this game so much on my tablet and my kid does too, but the last couple months it crashes daily on both devices (iPad mini and regular iPad). It’s extremely frustrating and my autistic kid who loves the game keeps getting very irritated with it as well and told me today he doesn’t want to play it anymore because it crashes all the time.

### 3/5 — Improvements

*2026-04-17, version 1.2.435*

Needs to allow park gate admitons .

### 4/5 — Please fix icloud sync across ios devices

*2026-04-05, version 1.2.435*

I love this game. It was one of my favorite pc games as a kid and its perfectly ported to iOS. I started off playing it on my iphone and would like to continue my saves on my ipad but the save files wont sync even though “use iCloud to sync progress” setting is enabled on both devices.

### 3/5 — No sound on ios16

*2026-04-04, version 1.2.435*

Missing this good old game from childhood but it has absolutely no sound on ipad

### 4/5 — Great

*2026-04-02, version 1.2.435*

But when i accidentally make a deep hole i cant raise it no more and i have to use a path on it like the ride line paths

Was really looking forward to purchasing the add on but it’s impossible

### 1/5 — Stole my money

*2026-04-18, version 1.2.435*

App won’t restore my purchases so I guess thanks for stealing my cash.

### 1/5 — Help

*2026-03-31, version 1.2.435*

I love this game and it constantly keeps closing as soon as I open a park there must be a glitch or something wrong. Can someone please fix the bug!

### 1/5 — Please update

*2026-01-06, version 1.2.435*

I love this game and I love playing it on my phone but since the most recent update 5 months ago the screen is messed up from screen stretch on IOS, you can’t scroll to lower listed parks in the main menu anymore so half the lists aren’t accessible.

### 1/5 — No longer able to import

*2025-12-26, version 1.2.435*

The import button no longer pops up when I try to import custom scenarios. Help

### 1/5 — Crashes make impossible

*2025-12-07, version 1.2.435*

Crashes on a certain level with no fix possible so progress is impossible. Lazy. Avoid

### 5/5 — Love it. Doesn’t need any fixes.

*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.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Rebuils

*2026-07-31, version 1.2.435*

Can be a bit difficult to play on mobile but works perfectly on Mac book!

### 5/5 — No sound

*2026-07-25, version 1.2.435*

Great gameplay but music and sound do not work on iPad. Please fix this!

### 5/5 — FANTASTICCCC

*2026-06-26, version 1.2.435*

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!! :(((

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-06-13, version 1.2.435*

I builded the smiler from Alton towers I made so many rides worth it you should play five star man

### 5/5 — So nostalgic!

*2026-06-11, version 1.2.435*

I’ve been playing this game so much lately! It’s actually so fun on the iPad, it definitely feels like the original game. I see complaints of not being to charge an admission fee for your parks, which some you can, it’s just not standard. Also, you CAN use different views (like underground, hide people, and hide supports) which is also super helpful! I’m obsessed

### 5/5 — please add chinese language！！

*2026-05-31, version 1.2.435*

please add chinese language

### 5/5 — Deserves a better rating

*2026-05-29, version 1.2.435*

This game runs beautifully on my iPhone. Zero ads. Pause and save whenever. Very fun and the scenarios are challenging and varied. It stands the test of time. I’ve poured dozens of hours into it with no regret.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-05-19, version 1.2.435*

Initially, I was uncertain, but the game performs excellently on my iPads and iPhone. It's definitely worth the $6. However, I hope the developers will update the game with new and exciting rides to keep it fresh.

### 5/5 — My childhood!

*2026-04-19, version 1.2.435*

This game is perfect. I get to re experience my childhood memories playing this game.
