Meh

I really wanted to like this game. At D23 they pitched it as "you get to build the park, you decide the attractions, you run the show" which is simply untrue. The park is laid out for you, you MUST build certain attractions to progress a characters story which MUST be done in order to unlock other characters and other attractions. It was sold as Disney roller coaster tycoon mobile, its actually Disney FarmVille.

The gem cost on special attractions and characters is absolutely insane. Default pricing should be half of the current cost and sale pricing should be 75% off current. Just nuts really.

Pros: As with any of the collect to progress games (FarmVille, Clash of Clans) its still addicting. You want the stuff, even if its virtual and intangible and ultimately pointless. The story is actually interesting, even though its incredibly dragging to progress through (again, like other collection style games). The addition of new characters and attractions along with expansion zones clearly visible lets you know they intend to keep the game running for a while.

Finally, one firm complaint: One of my characters was upgrading to level 10 during the last big update and now always shows as ready to upgrade (despite being level 10), making the notification of upgradeable characters a bit pointless. If any devs read these reviews, take a look at that bug, I cant be the only user suffering this annoyance.
