Ask any veteran of Roller Coaster Tycoon or Thrillville and they'll tell you the same -- managing a theme park is hard work. At least it used to be. Roller Coaster Kingdom takes a trip down easy street and strips the traditionally deep theme park management genre of all of its detail and nuance, delivering a social game from Zynga that feels surprisingly underwhelming.

I am a huge Roller Coaster tycoon fan. I am very interested to see how well this game stacks up compared to the full featured PC games of this type.
Trust me, it's a facebook game that has more in common with farmville (made by the same people, same graphics style, same casual 'no lose' gameplay, no thought involved, pay real money to get anything useful).
Does not deserve to be in the same sentance as the greatness that was Rollercoaster Tycoon and Theme Park ;)
Oh really? Well, at least I know that going in so I won't expect something like Roller Coaster Tycoon.
It sucks. I love Rollercoaster Tycoon, but this thing is a turd. Tried it out for about a week, did not like it at all. Even among Zynga fans who play all/most of their games, this one is pretty much universally considered crap.
I hear that Faraxis are making a facebook version of the great Civilization series of games, Civ Net. Could be good.
Otherwise yeah... ugh.
