Wanted to make a thread since a few seem to want to get it and some have it.

Would love to hear stories, thoughts, and see pics of parks.

Kinda confusing to start. Definitely not as user friendly as the original Rollercoaster Tycoon games, but I can probably still get used to this.

I feel this may be more invested in the management side of things which doesn't interest me as much, but it's a pretty game.

I did the pirate scenario in career mode and now I’m in sandbox mode fucking around. The staff having energy needs is an interesting management thing.

I would buy this so fast if you could play it on Mac.

Do they really have energy needs?

I always loved building custom coasters, but the design here takes so long to complete that 2 days pass with all sorts of issues before I can even test it.

Is there a way to automate the management side or do you have to do it?

I haven't played more than like an hour. It would be nice to not have to deal with all the management. Too much to keep track of.

I think you can edit the scenarios to disable energy. I’m not sure if there’s a way to automate staff management

Did you finish the Pirate level, grim?

Yup! I did the first two. I haven't tried the third one yet because I went into sandbox mode and haven't gone back yet.

I just wanted to figure out how to make pretty food buildings (there's so much customization! pro tip: make custom things in the middle of nowhere so objects aren't trying to attach to other buildings), but now I'm actually trying to make the sandbox park profitable. It has a lot of guests and stuff but they're stupid and kept getting stuck in a long queue line for this princess car ride (I didn't realize it was that ride causing the problem until it was way too late), and then their needs plummeted and it fucked everything else over because they wouldn't leave the line to go to the bathroom or whatever. But it's cool because there's no money to worry about.

So now I'm experimenting with different queue lengths and seeing if I can spread the guests throughout the park some more. They really like the car rides for some reason, so I have one on each side of the park to draw them around. My staff's happy, but again, unlimited sandbox money is keeping them well-paid and trained and they have a lot of break rooms (the energy thing's not so bad after I learned what the break rooms can do). I'm gonna start cutting down on the food stalls and stuff once I get the guest flow back under control. I guess I could close the park and reopen once everyone's out, but I wanna see what happens if I just leave it going.

I'll try sandbox mode eventually. Probably more my style anyway. But I'm heading home tomorrow and won't play this again until after I get back probably.

Does sandbox have the management stuff?

I think she said it does, but it's a bit easier because money isn't an issue

Pretty much.

I unfortunately ended up requesting a refund on this. If I want to play a theme park sim, I will just play RCT.

I like the look of the game, but I find myself trying too hard to get into it. The management stuff isn't something I'm really into and the interface and gameplay is far more complicated than I would want on a game that is for days when I just want to kick back and relax.

I liked the game ok, but I know I won't pick it up again.
