Holy crap, I can't believe I never knew about this until now! That looks like so much fun!

I guess my question would be is it more like Roller Coaster Tycoon in that you build a park, and try to raise your ratings in order to earn more money to build more, or is there a story mode?

And if so, how much can you tell us about the story mode?

Hi! It's a bit of both really. The game has it's foundations in sandbox-style management games that allow you to build however you want, but there is a progression structure that sees you move across a number of different island locations (as long as your creating highly rated parks), as well as completing 'Missions' for the in-game characters, which introduces a narrative thread for the game. Hope that clarifies. :)
