This theme park’s new roller coaster is unbelievable - amazingly fast, super crazy and incredibly fun! How fast can you get the new roller coaster’s passengers from start to finish across the amusement park without losing anyone? Super simple controls make Hyper Roller Coaster a breeze - the theme in this theme park is tapping! Control the train’s speed as it climbs through its crazy fun roller coaster twists — the faster you go, the more money you get and the more you can afford to upgrade your theme park’s rickety roller coaster (not to make it safer, just faster and more fun). Load up your train, start tapping, and give your hyper roller coaster passengers the theme park ride of their (fleeting) lives! People fly out of the train - lose money. People stay in the train, more money! IGRS rating: 13+
