Amusement Factory

Build the theme park of your dreams. Amusement Factory is a bright, cheerful park builder made for the iPad screen. Start with an empty plot and a stretch of road, and grow it into a park that guests queue around the block for. Draw the paths, place the rides, open the shops, hire the staff, and watch hundreds of little visitors decide for themselves whether your park is any good. BUILD THE PARK YOU WANT Lay roads tile by tile or drag a whole street in one go. Place rides from a huge stylized collection, from gentle carousels and swan rides to looping coasters and drop towers, then design the queue line that feeds each one. Everything you build is priced, and everything you demolish pays half of it back. RIDES THAT REALLY RUN Every ride loads, runs its cycle and unloads with your guests on board. Set the price, set the minimum load, keep the mechanics coming before it breaks down, and hop into a seat yourself to ride along with the camera. Lay out a boat circuit across a lake, or build a go-kart track piece by piece and watch six coloured karts race a countdown start, where the bravest driver takes the corners fastest. SHOPS, STALLS AND AN ARCADE Ice cream, coffee, burgers, noodles, popcorn, donuts, balloons and souvenirs. Price every item yourself and put it where a hungry guest will actually walk past. Carpet a room, wall it in, put a door on it and fill it with coin-op machines, claw machines included, then trade the tokens for prizes money cannot buy. GUESTS WITH A MIND OF THEIR OWN Buses drop guests at the gate and they line up for a ticket. From there they are on their own: hungry, thirsty, tired, needing the toilet, and forming an opinion of your park out of everything they see. Keep the paths clean, the benches free and the queues short. Watch out for the pickpocket working the crowd, and for the cop who will chase them off the premises. A CAMPAIGN AND A SANDBOX Ten locations bought in order, each with its own plot size, land price, starting grant, guest spending and goals to hit before the deadline. A scripted first park teaches you the ropes. Prefer to just build? Free play hands you a random map and a fortune to spend on it. RUN IT LIKE A BUSINESS Wages, running costs, research budgets and loans. Borrow against what the park is worth over one to ten years, or spend a whole year in the red and the bank takes your park. Month by month graphs show you exactly where the money went. Become the next theme park tycoon or roller coaster rockstar! MORNING, NIGHT AND WEATHER The sun moves, the lights come on, the string lights and the ride bulbs glow, and the rain sends everybody looking for shelter. Speed the clock up when a slow day drags, and slow it down when you want to watch. MADE FOR IPAD One finger pans the park and paints your roads, two fingers pinch and twist the camera. Save as many parks as you like and pick any of them back up where you left off. No adverts. No in-app purchases. No internet needed. Just a park, and however long you want to spend on it.
