Rollercoaster Tycoon Touch is the first all-mobile iteration of the long-running Rollercoaster Tycoon series. This strips the gameplay down and manages to be both an extremely simple and extremely engaging entry into the series. Your goal, as with the others, is simply to build a huge and popular theme park with roller coasters of your own design. Read on for some tips and tricks for Rollercoaster Tycoon Touch!
Your main goals are to balance out the three needs of your guests. Building coasters is fun but to get to that point, you have to please the guests. They are going to want food, hygiene and fun, which will require a balance between restaurants and other food stands, bathrooms, and anything fun (roller coasters, fortune tellers, all other fun buildings). And if something breaks, it’s really going to piss off your customers, so check back and repair rides (which is a one tap thing) as often as you check back for coins.
Every building has to be connected to a walkway in order to be active. Decorations, however, do not need to be connected to any walkways to boost other buildings. If your decoration is next to a walkway, that’s wasted space that can be used for another building, so stick them into space behind buildings that would otherwise go unfilled.
Cards are needed in order to upgrade any of your buildings. Upgrades will cause them to earn more money and to please your visitors more efficiently, and will apply to every example of a building that exists on your theme park. If you don’t have the cash for an upgrade but you can afford to buy more buildings, do that and then come back a bit later on becuase you will be able to collect more money from them. The more buildings you have, the more overall cash that you can get.
You can build your coaster any way that you want as long as it meets back at the beginning when it’s done. Experiment and see what you can come up with, using special features and general design excellence to increase the intensity, excitement and nausea factor. Even better, you can build any other building THROUGH the coaster itself, or you can build the coaster through any other building, so don’t worry about giving up space with a large coaster.
Connect on Facebook and you can give and receive cards with your friends. If none of your friends play the game at all (which at this point in the game’s life is fairly unlikely due to the popularity), then you can find people to add in the game’s Facebook page in the comments, or in the review pages in the App Store and Google Play.
