''Theme Park Inc'' (also known as ''SimCoaster'' in the United States and ''Theme Park Manager'' in Australia) is a construction and management simulation video game. It is the last game of the Theme Park series that started with ''Theme Park'' in 1994 and continued with ''Theme Park World'' in 1999. ''Theme Park Inc'' was developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts. It was the last game to bear the Bullfrog logo before the company's merger with EA UK in 2004. ==Gameplay== The player starts out as the assistant manager of a theme park, hired by the president of the company to take over his position. To do this, the player must build and manage a theme park with three unique zones: ''Land of Invention'', ''Polar Zone'', and ''Arabian Nights''. Each zone has unique rides, sideshows and scenery items. The player is guided by the president and his directors (each of whom specialize in a specific area of park management), and is aided by a blue spherical creature, named the Advisor, who gives the player advice. The player must hire staff to maintain the park, keep guests happy, and research new items for the player to build. Staff members must be kept well-rested and happy, or they may go on strike. To advance further into the game, the player must complete several objectives. These objectives involve training staff for a specific job to unlock a new section of the park zone, or completing challenges to gain golden tickets, which are required to beat those objectives. Challenges are special missions that the game gives to the player. These may involve anything from keeping guest happiness levels high, making sure a ride does not break down, or making a certain amount of profit from a specific ride. Completing these challenges will give a specified number of golden tickets, and certain challenges must be completed to complete an objective. However, if the player fails too many challenges, they will be fired and the game will be over. The objective of the game is to become the new boss of Theme park inc. To do this, one must have 51% of the shares so you can vote your self in. You also need to get a certain amount of people in your park and at least 6 of the 8 park awards. You get park awards for having the highest or fastest roller coaster, the fastest go kart, the longest log flume ride, the best security, the best decoration and the best staff training. ''Theme Park Inc'', in comparison to ''Theme Park World'', has a greater emphasis on the management of the park rather than the rides themselves. The game requires more effort be put into finer aspects such as staff management, park layout, and guests' needs, as not doing so can make it more difficult to complete challenges and objectives. ''Theme Park Inc'' also introduced the Roller Coaster Editor, an in-built feature that allows players to create their own layouts for the pylon rides (roller coasters and log flumes) in the game. The players can then save these designs and use them in the game proper. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Theme Park Inc」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
