Roller coasters are the centerpiece of this theme park builder. You lay paths, place scenery, customize rides and assemble attractions piece by piece from more than a thousand building components, while also shaping the land into hills, lakes and caves. Coasters can be routed above ground and below it, so layout is as much a design choice as a technical one.
Creative freedom is the main draw: you can recreate real rides or invent your own, and the park works as a living world. It is single-player and suits builders who enjoy designing and decorating at least as much as managing finances.
