Free maps remade, takeovers, real-size rides

The four free chapters are new places, two chapters hand you a running park, and six rides grow to real size.

Published 1 November 2026

  • Four free chapters, four new places
  • Take over a running park
  • Lake Ring, a new free chapter
  • Six rides at real size

In new parks the four free chapters are different places: a stream and farm fields, one big hill, a lake with bays and a beach, a river valley between mountains. Rusty Rides Rescue and the new Lake Ring are takeovers: the park is open when you arrive, and its card says what works, what is broken and what the bank wants. Six rides are built at real size, so a rider is as big as a guest; they take more land and nothing else changes. Saved parks keep their maps and rides.

Everything in this update (5)
  • 🗺️ The four free chapters are new places in new parks. Sunny Meadows: a winding stream, a reedy pond and farm fields. Hilltop Fair: one big hill with a flat lookout on top. Lakeside Leisure: a large lake with bays, an island and a beach. Tycoon Valley: a river valley between mountains, the far bank across a bridge you build. Saved parks keep their map, and the leaderboards rank the old and new maps apart
  • 🛠️ Rusty Rides Rescue is a takeover: you arrive in a bigger park that is already open, with worn rides, a dated wooden coaster, overflowing bins, prices guests grumble at, one handyman and a big loan. The map’s card shows the handover, what works, what needs fixing and what the bank wants, and the Goal tab keeps it. New goals on all three levels; saved Rescue parks keep theirs
  • 🏞️ Lake Ring, the sixth free chapter: a map that is mostly lake, a path all the way round the shore, and the previous owner’s rides still running by the gate and far round the ring. Piers and boats are welcome: bumper boats and swan boats are free
  • 🎡 Six rides at real size, so a rider is as big as a guest: the Tower Swings, Giant Pendulum, Reverse Bungee, Tilting Wheel, Wave Swings and Ferris Wheel. They take more land; their stats, prices and running costs are the same. Rides already built in saved parks stay as they are
  • 🚝 Monorail cars are taller than a guest
