“Most of those who had nostalgia for this game played it after getting it from a cereal box. Meanwhile, I grew up playing this game when they had it pre-installed on school computers. The greatest educational video game of all time!”
— a player, Steam review · 107 hrs played“This is a great game. It gives you stuff to do while you wait for cash. Very easy and simple to use editor. Tons of different rides and coaster types. Very good for 1999 but I only recommend if its on sale because I got it for $5”
