"clear, concise, and fun", and was impressed with the sound. Ron Dulin of GameSpot also liked the "amusing" visual appeal, but complained about the amount of detail the player must manage once the park becomes popular, and said it takes away the enjoyment of the player's creation. Computer and Video Gamess criticism was that the game is much more freeform than Theme Hospital: he said no specific goals are presented, and that golden tickets are often won suddenly. PC Zone reviewer complained that the player cannot build more than one of the same item at a time, and must keep re-entering the menus and select it again.

Absolute PlayStation said the music is repetitive, and disagreed with IGN on the adviser by describing him as "infuriating". A staff member described the game as "just more of the same".
