This fun simulation lets players build their own extravaganza from the ground up, or they can manage a premade theme park. It's easy to get started, and the game has multiple challenge levels, making this an appealing program for kids, teens and even adults.
Players design roller coasters, build rides and eateries, all to attract guests and make money.
What we liked most about this game was the level of choice and control it gives kids. You can make the game quite easy or difficult and there are endless ways in which to set up the parks with lots of help and spontaneous events as you go. Those familiar with programs like SimCity will feel right at home with this software's format, but novices will be okay, too, with the helpful tutorial and intuitive controls. Our testers, ages nine through twelve, were very enthusiastic about the program. With the roller coasters, kids can either install a premade ride on a block of unused land or they can design and build their own, which is quite challenging.
