Too Many Ads!!
I haven’t even had it 24 hours and I have to remove it off my phone. You’ll never be able to upgrade anything or do anything without watching 1 million ads.
New up date is horrible
Having to evolve the rides to increase the level is horrible. Will stop playing the game. Thanks and do better need more free options.

Does not honor rewards commitments
I’ve watched a couple dozen ads without receiving the promised reward. App support has a generic FAQ to keep trying, without actually registering the issue.
Gameplay otherwise is okay.

Nothing like the add this game so terrible
MISLEADING REWARDS
This frustrated me so much, I can deal with the ads and the pop ups but oh lord the season pass says “complete the season pass to unlock this manager” so I COMPLETE IT AND I CAN’T GET IT??? I have to actually PURCHASE the PAID version of the season pass to get the manager!!! That was not disclosed when it just says to complete the season pass to unlock the manager. So misleading and annoying and even after completing the free season pass you’d think that the tasks that need to be done for it would stop collecting since you can’t go any higher on it but nope! Just playing the game and get a random number on it and it doesn’t go away until I click on it
Bad boring
Not like the ads
Bogus
My 5 free dice rolls that I collected in the event disappeared. On more than one day. WTH. Bogus
terrible
all the game progress deletes after doing so good on it. It was going amazing then everything got deleted and there is no way to get it back. terrible.
Cash Grab
Just an incredibly obvious cash grab, the game shoves micro transactions and ads in your face nonstop.
Pay to play
Smooth sailing but once you're hooked they make it so you have to pay to advance
So many ads
Too many ads and I still have to watch ads after purchasing the no ads bundle. Make that make sense, this game sucks don’t get it.
Game is so bad now
Game bad because duck shoot is now bouncy ride. 5 stars for duck shoot.
Ehh
Ehh no the best is not the same as it shows on the ad don’t buy it if you want the outcome of what the ad was like it’s not the same
Paywall
I loved this game but I hit a serious paywall before the next theme park. It’s impossible to upgrade without watching ads or paying money
Game Does NOT Save
I WANT to like this game. That being said; it never saves my progress. I have checked for updates both to my phone and app.
I am on v8.84 and every time I relaunch after several hours, my progress has started from the beginning. Quests I completed are done so I get screwed over there too on startup funds. I refuse to spend any money because of this issue.
0/10 do NOT recommend in this current form.

Big huge fat gigantic huge massive buuuuug
First of all it takes a supppper supper supper long time to long. Then it sent me strait to the home page of my iPad! I triedd the game again, and it did the same thing! Uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
Money grab
No way to advance through the game with out paying.
If you try to save your in game money, when you log back in the money is gone.
Don’t waist your time.

Cash grab
Yep
😖
The game was pretty good but then all the sudden when I would make upgrades it stopped saving and I couldn’t make any progress on my parks
Doesn’t save progress
When ever you leave the game and come back you start back from ground zero do not download ever other review is fake
Progress Resets Constantly
Terribly made game, your progress resets every single time you leave the app. Doesn't matter if you set it to save with your game id or not, it still deletes/resets some part of your progress every single time.
Upset
I used to play this game all the time but now I don’t. The main reason is that the game turned into a money grab from the company. You used to be able to go back to old parks but now you can’t. I am disappointed at how the game changed for the worse
Just continues to get worse
I love the base game and have had it for a while. Deleted it a bit ago and redownloaded it but lost my progress (no worries was stoked to start over). I truly don’t understand why they continue to try and squeeze as much money out of you as possible with these new updates. The purple coins and managers you have to hire, it never feels like I have enough of what I need to progress. Very frustrated with the path this game is taking and very sad it’s continuing this road.
What do you mean it resets everything
Yeah this game is full of ad pits and flashy spend signs like most apps. The trash thing was this goofy prestige feature that resets all the progress for a new park. Before an unearned ng+ I watched a ton of ads finally broke 3mil and boom new map…… TRASH!!!!!! I thought I’d be able to use the earning potential of previous maps nope just locked out 🤣 diabolical to put this blatant money trap out does fit the tycoon lens i guess .
Long loading time
Game is not big but take a lot time to load
Ruined something good with GREED
Was a good game till they start making you pay for everything like the managers and rides takes more than game currency to advance
Crashes
I’ve made many purchases and advanced through the game, and now I can’t play it, when trying to open it, it constantly crashes during loading, game won’t, open. iPad and game are updated and plenty of space on device. If I unload app online says I lose everything, DO NOT buy guys
Could be fun.
Everytime I progress in the game and unlock the next sections. Example Treasure Island. It deleted all my progress on all the other rides for me to start over. I’m not doing all that. Can we not just build and build??
Ads
I just got an ad that was very inappropriate please change it
New Update
Hate that I have to spend money and coins to upgrade rides but get no opportunities to get coins. Makes me not want to play after being a user for years.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
This game is a primary example of corporate greed. It was perfect the way it was, and there were only a limited amount of offers-progression was solely based on the dedication of the player. Now? If you want to get past level 1500 on any of your rides, think again. You first have to watch hundreds of ads to scrape up enough to “evolve” a ride. Then, you have to pray that luck is in your favor when you use your gold coins to get specific managers or boosts for your rides. Honestly, I’m so disappointed with the way the game turned out. It had so much potential, but now you can’t even see your theme park on the screen because it’s blocked by so many “limited time” and “discounted” offers. Please, whoever you are (game making company), go back to the way you were. You didn’t have to have money to have fun.
Be the good.
Be the good.
Used to be a lot more fun
They’ve changed this since the last time I played, much more pay to play than it was before which is a disappointment. I redownload every few months and what used to be a fun, chill game is now boring because the only way to advance is by buying the little purple diamonds. 🤷♀️
Research Tokens
I used to have a lot of fun on this game until it became a money spending type game. The research points mechanic makes it take days just to be able to do enough missions to evolve your coasters, unless you’re spending tons of money on it.
It’s okay
Game was better before now they really make it impossible to do upgrades . Either you pay or watch 2 MINUTE long ads. Good game but that issue kills it …
Bad
When ever I buy an upgrade it gets rid of it after I leave the game i had 45k and left for back on I had 30k!!
Its ridiculous
Owners fix it please

Won’t save
It’s fun but it won’t save my progress and then I have to start all over every time I exit the game
Its fun till its not
It was amazing, till i made it to the water park, i started upgrading, but nothing worked, when i restarted my game it didnt save, and i uninstalled and reinstalled, nothing.
Scummy ADs and Slow progression
When watching an ad, for the rewards, three things happen. The x on the ad is so far in the corner that you can’t close it, it never appears, or the game freezes. Close out the app and still have to watch another ad to get the reward. This happened a total of 7 times before I called it quits. I was trying to see if it was my phone but no other ad game has this issue. Also the progression is really slow and not many opportunities to speed it up to get to a good idle level.
Update the previews!
Nothing like the game showcase more so people actually know what they are playing. By the way, The updates you guys did are making the game better
Card packs
This game is good but I hate how you have to watch adds to get card packs. Card packs are a main resource to upgrade your park and you HAVE to watch adds to get them. Very stupid in my opinion and should be changed. You can get them in the pass but very hard and you get very little out of them. They need to change this.
A very good but dissatisfying game.
So whenever I get on the app it says there something wrong and the music just start turning on and off super fast then logs me out of the game. I think it’s still a good game before it happened.
Dont waste your time
hostile playstyle that’ll demand your money for any sort of progress
Mid now
I used to love this game and it was really fun a few years back, I started new, and, I like the new bouncy frog attraction, but I have the biggest gripe with the research purple points, you either need to watch a bunch of ads or spend money to get 1 ride upgrade. This game is in its dark ages.
