Staff must be hired to keep everything running smoothly, and they will only work for what they consider a fair rate of pay. Shops must also be included, so that the visitors can buy food, drinks and souvenirs - the cunning player will combine salt, sugar and caffeine settings to maximize consumer interest. Rides range from Teacups and Haunted Houses to the biggest most elaborate roller-coaster you can design, and water rides that loop around other rides. The first task is to set up your rides within the available land, structuring convenient paths and queues and ideally leaving some space for bigger rides once they become available, and include some lakes and trees to increase the park's allure. Don't take too long building your park the days are passing by while you play! Options include setting the game's difficulty level (easy, medium, or hard), the temperament of park visitors (happy, normal, or fussy), and level of competition (easy, medium, or hard).ĭominating the exciting world of Theme Park ownership is your goal in this strategy game from Bullfrog. An icon driven interface involves using the pad to place objects within the park and buttons to choose various actions. This is done through building 'hot' attractions and placing shops in locations to maximize their effectiveness.

Of course, every piece of sidewalk, signpost or staff member will cost you money, so you'll have to make sure your park earns enough to support itself. You'll also have to hire staff to run your establishment, including entertainers, mechanics, and even guards to prevent hoodlums from spoiling the fun.

You'll begin by purchasing land to build your first effort, and then make decisions on the type of rides (each rated in excitement, reliability, and maximum capacity), concessions (from coffee shops to Balloon Lands), and layout (placing trees, fences, lakes, and restrooms). In order for the player to gain more keys and be able to unlock the other worlds, the player must obtain 3 Golden Tickets.Bullfrog's comical business simulation Theme Park, challenges you to build a financially successful amusement park amidst heavy competition.

The only thing is you haven't built it yet! The Theme Park is back in town and the clamouring kids are on the verge of battering down the gates. The roller coasters are always the main events, and after you complete the construction, you can ride the coaster in a first person view, just to see the game from the view point of the customers. You change every aspect of each and every ride, event and stall that you place inside your park, from colors to the length of each ride, the amount of people on at a time, and how many fries are in a pack of chips (ok, maybe not that much detail, but you get the point). Build your own theme park, with all the roller coasters, rides, food stalls and anything else you can think of.
