I bought this game thinking it would be way better than Roller Coaster Tycoon, and plus: You could ride the rides!

I was WRONG.

Don't Waste your money! BUY ROLLER COASTER TYCOON!

It Sucks, The Grapihcs Suck, It takes 10 minutes to load (no kidding) and it is not realistic.

NOT FOR XP

I love simulation games. I own all the Sim games, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Tropico (new game - Excellent!), Ceasar II, Postal, etc. The graphics on this game might have been impressive in 1994 when the original Theme Park (which this is derrived from) came out, but they are poor compared to todays standards. When I opened the box and played the game, I felt like I had been ripped off. This is Sim Theme Park with a new name and some slight changes. Sim Theme Park was not much better than Bullfrog's Theme Park. If you want a fun simulator of a theme park with great graphics and some funny things (like drowning your unhappy visitors in the lake, or crashing your roller coasters on purpose) then get RollerCoaster Tycoon and the expansion packs for that game.

Think twice

I haven't played this game, but if it is like Theme Park World I don't want to. It took too long to install, takes up a HUGE amount of resources and space, and I couldn't return it to the store when I found out how much it sucked.

Check system requirements.

I could not get this game to run on my computer because it is not supported by windows XP. If you use anything more current than windows 98 don't waste your money on this game.

Very Very Disappointed

This game is an extreme disappointment. It takes up a HUGE amount of space on your computer and then when you try to run it it is very slow and often freezes up. This is by far the worst sim game I have tried. Normally, I am a big fan of them. I would not recommend this game to anyone...unless you like spending more time waiting for the computer to catch up than actually playing the game.

no manual and no fun

bought this, and come not in the originality pack of it, so it depends on who you buy from i guess, because the one i got the case is not the original case and broke, eventhough it said new, anyway, the password just come in the piece of paper rather than original casing in the back of it, very dissapointed the way they handle it, not pro, and after you got it, takes along time before it open, i guess because i have older version computer, than they said read manual, which i couldn't find it anywhere, so that's almost the story of it, besides it totally not like roller coaster it just like cartoon, not real.

Horrible in EVERY possible way

Don't let the SIM family name fool you. This game is a disgrace. My 10-year old daugther received it for her birthday and excitedly torn into the package (Sorry honey, we can't return it). I never heard of SimCoaster but installed it with high expectations (afterall, "The Sims" is great). Less than two minutes into the game, I was convinced it was something from a sofware discount bin, circa 1994. SimCoaster has some of the cheesiest graphics I've seen in the last six or seven years.

While the packaging and design are clearly aimed at young childern, the main objective of the game is the mundane task of "managing" a theme park (and some people think bloody games like Quake or Doom lead to violent outbursts). As you work--you can't call this "play"--a perky and annoying in-game assistant regularly reminds you that the "workers are unhappy," "a ride has broken down," or the park's customers "aren't having much fun," to which my daugther responded with an unsolicited "Neither am I."

Enough said. If you love your children, avoid this game. It would be too expensive even if it was free.

Its no roller coaster tycoon

Its completely the same as Sim Theme Park. The way you build and ride the coasters is the same as Sim Theme Parkm, and I think Sim Theme Park has a larger variaty of coasters. After actually building the ride itself riding the ride is jerky and unrealistic. If you want a theme park game get Rollercoaster Tycoon. If you already have Rollercoaster Tycoon save your money.

Awful!

Don't bother with a game like this, if you want a rollercoaster game buy RollerCoaster Tycoon, this game is horrible I wanted to return it, awful concept for a roller coaster game.
