The gameplay has been criticized for being boring and lacking the engaging mechanics found in similar games, such as RollerCoaster Tycoon. Issues like poor collision detection and a frustrating interface further detract from the experience, leading to an overall rating of 6/10, with the campaign offering average challenges that fail to enhance the game's design.
- “This all sounds quite fun so far, and would be a good game mechanic in a game like RollerCoaster Tycoon or any of its rivals.”
- “Overall gameplay: 6/10; needs fine-tuning, and a controller greatly helps.”
- “Campaign: 5/10 - average challenges that add little to mechanics and design.”
- “Boring gameplay (how can you make a game about roller coasters smashing things boring?)”
- “Couple this awful gameplay and lack of realism with a terrible interface, bad collision detection (most of the time if your track collides with things the cars fly through the air and disintegrate, but sometimes they don't, and then you can have coasters going right through trees, buildings, and other bits of track), and you end up with a truly awful game.”
- “It really overhypes the gameplay.”
