Kentucky Kingdom holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kentucky Kingdom has 351 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Kentucky Kingdom's written reviews are positive against 100% of Coaster Countdown's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Kentucky Kingdom ships an update every 6 weeks, Coaster Countdown every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
