About Theme Park Inc

SimCoaster takes the operation of an amusement park, introduced in games such as Bullfrog's 1994 Theme Park and 1999's SimTheme Park, and focuses on the roller coaster as the main attraction. Successful overall management of the theme park requires efficiency in ride designs, layout, finances, facilities, public relations, human resources, monitoring customer happiness, and researching technological advances. Players can, however, ignore the micro-management aspects of every day operations and concentrate entirely on researching, building, testing, and riding roller coasters.

For gamers interested in managing a simulated theme park, specific tasks are offered in a mission-style format. By successfully completing tasks, players earn stock in the company and eventually become the successor to the retiring park president. Efficiency in hiring and firing staff (janitors, engineers, entertainers, guards, gardeners, and scientists), building attractions and rides, providing comfort and necessary amenities for customers, and ensuring visitor contentment all play a part in SimCoaster.

The game features more than 100 rides and sideshows, 18 roller coaster styles, and three distinctive themes (Land of Invention, Polar Zone, and Arabian Nights). In addition to pre-built coasters for use in the park, a Coaster Design Kit allows the development of roller coasters and flumes after researching them within the game. Creations can be shared with other coaster enthusiasts via e-mail or on the Internet.

    Does anyone know how to get the British English version as I used to play that version and the American voices are very jarring lol?

    I’m able to play until I reach the “Operation Onwards!” objective – I can play in Land of Invention relatively fine but if I try to enter Polar Zone or Arabian Nights from here, I’m met with the loading screen which freezes upon completely loading; I’m unable to even close the application with Task Manager and have to restart my computer.

    I can play until before the extended area of the park opens. Once i get to that point, i can’t build in the new area even if it says that the area is already open. Any fixes or help please? 🙁

    Hi! I’m unable to install this, being told to enter a CD key but can’t find any in the downloaded files. How do I solve this issue? What am I missing? Thanks 🙂

    Directed here while trying to get my physical copy working. I’ve used the new .exe from above, I’ve altered the High, Medium and Low files, set the combability mode and ran as administrator. The game launches, there’s music… and no voices… anybody have any idea what I’ve done wrong?

      Further to this is seems I’n stuck in the lobby. I can create a character profile by skipping the dialogue that never comes but once I hit launch I’m stuck staring at the door that never open while the music plays on.

        Solution found! On a reddit thread:

        Just restart the computer. I don’t know why this works – neither did anyone else in the thread – but it does work!

    Whenever I try to open the app (after unzipping and instalation succeeded), it just doesnt do anything. Does anyone know what this could be? No errors are shown

      It could be that you still need to set your compatibility to an older version of windows. Right click the application, properties, compatibility, tick the “run in compatibility mode” box, then select “Windows XP (Service Pack 2)” from the dropdown; hit apply and try launching it again.
