Verdict

The call

Sun Valley Resort and Elevated Rides both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Elevated Rides's written reviews are positive against 30% of Sun Valley Resort's. Elevated Rides also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Sun Valley Resort's advantage is update cadence (every 6 months vs every 50 months) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
