- Rides in the game simulate the real experience well, providing a fun carnival atmosphere.
- It's a decent option for those looking for a low-cost, casual tycoon experience, especially if obtained on sale.
- The user interface is frustrating, lacking basic functionalities like mouse scrolling, copy/paste, and the ability to move or rotate placed items.
- The game suffers from poor AI and management mechanics, leading to issues like broken rides and unresponsive staff.
- Overall, the game is considered a stripped-down version of better tycoon games, lacking depth and quality.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and annoying, particularly due to the cumbersome menu navigation required to manage items. However, they note that the process is relatively quick, taking only about a minute to complete.
“This is a part of the game that is tedious and annoying, but it's fast enough and takes only a minute.”
“So you have to delete it, go back through the tedious menu to find it, and place it back.”
