Review: Instead of passively earning points for your team by scanning ride signs and park maps, the new interface is much more involved. Users can create a custom avatar and purchase outfit upgrades using in-game currency that is awarded by completing objectives. Objectives include correctly answering trivia questions, playing minigames, and meeting requirements carried over from the previous version, such as riding a coaster featuring so many inversions, etc. The user also earns energy points by completing these objectives, which are needed to complete the main point of the game.
Instead of scanning ride signs as before, each of the coaster factions have poster displays near and in the ride queues. Upon entering the park, players are encouraged to use the free WiFi and download the AR game and AR video files. Scanning the aforementioned billboards unlocks the games and videos. But the most important game takes place on the battlefield itself. The new battlemap is separated into hexes, similar to the popular strategy game Civilization. Using the energy points earned by the objectives, players can defend their hexes while attacking and conquering those controlled by other teams. The map updates in real time, which can be especially exciting when two players are going head-to-head over the same hex. It is possible to completely dominate the map or even wipe out another team entirely. The day I played, poor Gatekeeper was reduced to a single hext! At the end of the day, players receive a notification to check the battlemap to reveal the winner. As before, teams reset the following day when the park opens.
Final notes: This game is worth getting, especially for coaster enthusiasts and season passholders. Despite long loading times the minigames are fun and the battlemap is exciting and competitive. Customizable avatar is a plus, as is the lack of purchases requiring real money - everything is earned in-game. Even the casual park visitor will find this app entertaining while waiting in queues or resting between rides. Holovis and Cedar Point, you knocked this one out of the park, pun completely intended!
