Pros

  • Numerous design options
  • Operate your own park

Cons

  • Can be slow to place rides

Similar to the original Roller Coaster Tycoon, the updated game features more coasters, rides and new water features.

The main difference that you'll see with this game is that there is an option to add water rides. These rides can make a big difference in your park as guests want a way to cool off. Since there are more rides to choose from, you have more ways to design your park. The game begins with a simple piece of land. You can expand it later in the game if you need more room. There really isn't anything there except the entrance where you can set your price for the park. Start by building the larger rides first. These will take the most skill to design as you want a variety of turns, loops and twists.

When you design the water rides, you need to make sure that there is water at the end or on the ride. If you don't, then the ride will be a typical coaster. You can also add animals to the park so that guests have something to see while they are walking around. There are concession stands as well as gift shops that you can place. The game is one that involves paying attention to detail and what the guests want in the park as they will let you know what they like and what they desire, such as more food or more trash cans.
