Now with Sim Theme Park , Bullfrog has brought amusement parks into the world of 3D. In Sim Theme Park your goal is to build a series of profitable parks. Unlike in Hasbro's RollerCoaster Tycoon the main focus of Sim Theme Park is not building rides. The player's real job here is to make money. The way to make money is to encourage purchases at your shops. So build a lot of shops.
Most successful parks have two or three vendors next to each major ride.
Managing your shops is easy. After you've set the price and quality levels for one shop, you can easily set the levels for all shops of that type. Rides do play an important role in Sim Theme Park too. While the engine looks great, it gets bogged down when there are too many visitors in the park. Despite its amusing setting and visual appeal, Sim Theme Park is really just a business simulation.
