The Aim of the Game

As is usual with this kind of thing, the aim of Theme Park is global domination. You must open a park on every one of the available sites around the world, and in the process establish yourself as a planet Earth's premier Theme Park operator. Once a year you're given the option to sell your current park. You need to decide whether or not it's worth accepting the money on offer, or continue to build on the park's success and hopefully get an even higher asking price in twelve months time. There's a maximum size to which you can grow your park, with no more than 150 visitors allowed in at any one time and a ceiling on the number of rides which the park can hold; once you've achieved this limit it's well worth considering selling up.

The money made from the sale of each park is then used to finance the purchase of another site, with enough cash left over to develop the next park. Only when you've turned all dots on the World map a neutral blue to gold have you succeeded in your aim.

Now that might sound easy enough, but if you think it's going to be a walk in the park you couldn't be further from the truth. Success in the Theme Park business requires an awesome eye for detail. You need to fine tune every ride, shop and side-show for maximum profi margin. Don't forget to check on your finances regularly at the Bank Screen and listen to the Park Advisor's advice throughout the game, giving you hints on how to make the most of Theme Park. It's a roller-coaster ride of financial highs and lows, but whether you end up top of the heap or taking a leap, you can bank on having a whole lot of fun!
