The player starts with an empty plot and gradually builds an amusement park from the ground up. Core tasks include placing rides, shops, and amenities, laying paths, hiring mechanics, cleaners, guards, and handymen, and adjusting ticket prices and wages. The game is viewed from an overhead management perspective, with menus for finances, research, and staffing. Progress is driven by profits, park expansion, and guest approval, while poor maintenance or bad budgeting can quickly push the park into debt.
Theme Park is a business simulation game developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts. Players design and run their own amusement park, balancing ride placement, staff management, pricing, and visitor satisfaction. The SNES version keeps the core management loop while simplifying controls for consoles. Its unusual theme and flexible systems helped make it a standout and enduringly respected classic in the simulation genre.

In the early game, focus on essential facilities first: paths, toilets, food stalls, and trash bins help keep guest happiness high. Avoid overbuilding expensive rides before your park can support them financially. Keep enough maintenance staff on hand so breakdowns do not damage reputation. Adjust admission prices and wages carefully, since even a small imbalance can affect visitor numbers and cash flow.
