Theme Park Madness
Sara | Jan 9, 2010 Games
Every summer, I would go to my local theme park and see tons of teenagers controlling the rides. I often wondered what it would be like to be a ride operator.
This game by Movile finally gave me a chance to become a ride operator. Okay…I didn’t actually get to control a real roller coaster and get paid, but this game is still fun! There are two simple controls: touch the left part of the screen to deccelerate and touch the right side of the screen to accelerate. You get to travel around the world and can earn achievements for each roller coaster.
When I first tried this game, I thought, “How hard can this be? All I have to do is hold down the accelerate and watch the graphics of the ride!:D ” I was wrong. These roller coasters have sharp drops, sudden hills, and lots of loops. I would find myself going at a nice speed, and suddenly I would find a sharp drop. BOOM!!! Next thing I know, I see my passengers have deployed their parachutes (apparently, the theme parks I work at give all passengers parachutes) and are safely floating to the ground.
I found this game very addictive and very fun. One of my favorite parts was the achievements. Some of the achievements are Speed Demon, Grabbing Air Time, and No Brakes! No Brakes was the hardest to earn because you can’t deccelerate at all, or else you don’t get the achievement. I liked the backgrounds for each city because they represented each city very accurately (I loved Washington D.C. because the roller coaster passed the White House:-) ). At $2.99, I found this game a bit pricey, but there are 18 levels, so I guess that justifies the price.
Overall, this is a fun game to play on your coffee break or during lunch. Get this app and see if you are a good ride operator or not. I know I’m not. :lol:
