I've been feeling rather bored lately, and Sims and Minecraft aren't doing it for me anymore. So I wanted to Build some roller coasters.(yeah… I know, really random) However, I know of very little in the field of rollercoaster simulations/building games. I heard of Thrillville: Off the Rails. A theme park creator following a simple yet easy story line of build the best park. The game looks and feels pretty good and the interface is easy. You can even ride your rides with a P.o.V shot, it's really cool!
Then I heard of the Roller Coaster Tycoon series. Most recently RCT:2. It has even MORE freedom than Thrillville, yet more simple, using sprites instead. However, you can't enjoy ridding your creations at all which is a little bit of a buzz kill and it plays more like a heavy plot game… Meaning there's no time to fudge around and have fun… As in I'm not sure about a more sand-boxy mode for the game. I NEED that.
So I suppose what I'm asking is, What's a good Roller Coaster simulator/Theme Park Simulator for Windows. A game that has a more sandbox feel and the ability to ride the coasters you make or more enjoy-ability to your creations. You guys know what I'm saying?
Is Thrillville really the best game for fitting this? I don't know that's why I'm asking. I don't care about graphics, I just need it For Windows. I have Window 7 and I'm not too sure about anything else.
Any help you can give will be welcome.
