What players say

71% of 13,905 reviews are positive · 83% of 303 in the last 30 days

Players praise the coaster builder, smoothing tools, scalable scenery, and detailed park customization. The most common complaint is that the base game lacks enough rides, themes, and building pieces while many additions are sold separately; players also report persistent water-park simulation bugs, awkward controls, and pathing problems.
