    Is it just me or does this game get praised only for the sandbox mode while the actual scenario objectives barely get mentioned? The park building is still great fun, but does anyone else find the later scenarios kind of tedious after a while?

    Overrated for a management sim, honestly. People vote for nostalgia, not because they replay it now.

    Con hermanos, siempre con hermanos, nunca jugué esto solo la verdad, siempre alguien al lado dando órdenes.

    The scenario design holds up fine (better than most remembered fondly for no reason), the ranking feels generous.

    El ranking premia lo que sigue siendo jugable, y este lo es, punto.

    Ibáñez5

    El ranking en general premia demasiado la nostalgia y poco la jugabilidad actual, para mí.

    Entre deux parties rapides je regarde où il en est, sans plus de passion que ça.

    Moi c'est pareil, une partie de dix minutes et je regarde même plus l'heure.

    toujours aussi précis niveau gestion, les courbes de satisfaction des visiteurs réagissent de façon cohérente et prévisible une fois qu'on comprend le système.
