The game uses an overhead management view where players place paths, rides, shops, and service buildings on a park map. Menus are used to adjust admission and item prices, hire and train staff, and fund research for new attractions. Progress depends on cash flow, guest satisfaction, park reputation, and expansion goals, with visitors reacting to queues, cleanliness, and layout efficiency.
Developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts, this business simulation lets players build and run a theme park from the ground up. You handle land purchase, ride placement, pricing, staffing, and research while trying to keep guests satisfied and profits rising. It is widely remembered as a classic management game with a strong balance of humor and strategy.
