Game Description

The Theme Park is back in town and the clamouring kids are on the verge of battering down the gates. The only thing is, you haven’t built it, yet! Plan and place rides, shops and side shows, hire staff, research amazing new attractions and facilities and experience your fantastic creations in person!

Theme Park World, also known as Theme Park 2, and in North America as Sim Theme Park, is a 1999 construction and management simulation game developed by Bullfrog Productions and released by Electronic Arts. The direct sequel to Theme Park (Theme Hospital and Theme Aquarium are thematic sequels), the player constructs and manages an amusement park with the aim of making profit and keeping visitors happy. Initially developed for Windows, it was ported to PlayStation and PlayStation 2 (whose version was titled Theme Park Roller Coaster in North America), as well for Macintosh computers. The Mac version was published by Feral Interactive.

  1. “The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000009a). Click OK to close the application.”

    I’m on Win11. Tried another commenters advice and tried changing the install folder to Program Files instead of Program Files (x86). Tried installing a bunch of old Microsoft Visual C++ packages from 2005 onwards, 64 and 32 bit for each. Also enabled DirectPlay in Windows Features.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

    • Fixed – works perfectly fine on Windows 11 and you don’t have to do anything differently. If you get this error 0xc000009a or weacityr.dll missing then it’s almost definitely because of anti-virus. On a new machine with McAfee and had not yet uninstalled it.

    • Just installed it on WIN11 and yes it works. One thing I discovered, it does not work (on WIN 10 or 11) if I install the game in the x86 folder. Once I installed it in the ordinary Program Files folder it worked. I have found this to be the case with other old games as well.

  2. EVERYTHING you need is available in the download and patch file but YOU NEED TO DO THINGS IN THE RIGHT ORDER or else it won’t work. It’s all in the patch readme.

    Unfortunately it seems to have graphics issues. Works fine on the first 10 or so boots and then doesn’t work properly. Setting the rendering to software in the options works, but makes the game prone to crashing.
