Theme Parkitect
Release Date:Fall 2015
Operating System: PC, MAC, LINUX
Developer: Happy Texel
Official Website: http://www.themeparkitect.com/
Description: Design roller coasters, install shops and thrill rides, and top it all off with incredible scenery and dynamic landscapes. Management is key: you’ll have to look after employees, resources, and park infrastructure. Fail at that and face the consequences! Unhappy cashiers might annoy guests, unhappy custodians will leave your park a mess, and unhappy ride maintenance teams will leave your guests a mess.
Pros: build an efficient transport infrastructure to ensure the shops in your park don’t run out of stock and you’ll need to maintain the illusion by hiding the “behind the scenes” parts of the park using scenery.
Cons: Release date after RCTW
Price: Unknown

The game is created the same development team (chaired by Chrisa Sawyera) as the first part, introducing a number of modifications and improvements. The new edition of the series has a prettier and more detailed graphics, more roller coasters (queues), shops and other constituent parts of the amusement park.

California's Magic Mountain, New Jersey's Great Adventure and parks in Texas, Belgium and Hollandia, as well as 25 types of licensed roller coasters Six Flags, including the most famous Viper, Titan and Goliath. Much has been enhanced design system queues, allowing for easier now their construction; more than twice the magnification have maps on which we build the kingdom of their entertainment; also added a new set of thematic attracting new customers (including Egyptian and Roman) and built a powerful editor that allows you to create your own maps and scenarios.
