The story aspect of the game is primarily focused on a mission-based structure that unlocks new rides and features, but many users find the missions lack challenge and depth. While players engage with various gameplay elements like finances and visitor satisfaction, the overall narrative experience is considered underwhelming.
“The missions are extremely meh and offer little in the way of actual challenge.”
“You'll end up learning about the finances, services, decorating, keeping visitors happy, missions, creating coasters, etc.”
“New rides, decorations, services, etc... also, new challenges will appear in the mission list (create a ride w/ x g-force rating, create a 3-star ride, have $x monthly income, etc.).”

The gameplay is criticized for being confusing and lacking predictability, particularly regarding visitor responses to price changes. However, it features a structured staff system with three types of employees and a detailed mechanic skill level system that aligns with ride complexity.
“The game features three types of staff: cleaner, gardener, and mechanic, each contributing to the overall management experience.”
“There are five skill levels for mechanics, which correspond to the complexity rating of the rides, adding depth to the gameplay.”
“The gameplay itself is rather poor and confusing, with no way to predict how visitors will respond to price changes except for a message box that is the info-box equivalent of a broken compass.”
“There are 5 skill levels of mechanics, which correspond to the complexity rating of the ride.”
