I really like the music!  And I think having to click the money is makes it fun too - reminds me of popcap's style.  The little people are really cool too.

A few suggestions:
- the "click to close/open" on the upper menus could maybe replaced by a plus that switches to a minus, might be cleaner
- the rides seemed to have random numbers next to their names - might be better to start at 1 then increment
- I think a lighter background might be nice
- I had a little trouble figuring out how to design the roller coasters, maybe more information on adding twists and turns would help?

Really cool keep it up!

I'm enjoying the game play, but as I'm running on a smallish screen (a netbook) I can't fit the whole vertical space onto my screen at once. Normally that's not a big problem for me, because I just let the screen crop the less important end of the screen off, but in this case it's an issue for me because all the status data is at the top and all the controls are at the bottom (and if I move to the side to access the scroll bar then the whole game scrolls to the right)! If both the controls and the status area could be co-located somehow, that would be extra awesome. :D

Thank you very much for trying it out.
"the "click to close/open" on the upper menus could maybe replaced by a plus that switches to a minus, might be cleaner"
Not a bad idea at all it is a bit packed in there at the moment thank you.
"the rides seemed to have random numbers next to their names - might be better to start at 1 then increment"
I suppose I could do that the numbers in the name are random but I could use their designated world id... I just want a way to differ rides as soon as they were placed and either work in that case. But it could be more organized if the id is incrementing.
"- I think a lighter background might be nice"
Now this, I am not sure I can agree on. While I do agree it needs something in the background. The black makes the colors *pop*. But I shouldn't just shoot the idea down I can play with colors.
"- I had a little trouble figuring out how to design the roller coasters, maybe more information on adding twists and turns would help?"
I can potentially add something, everyone on Kongregate is asking for a tutorial. I despise the idea of a tutorial because it ruins the experimentation but I might need to make one or atleast add more hints.

Thanks again for the feedback Smiley

Thanks for trying it :D I am sorry for the inconvenience. Have you tried scrolling out the page? "ctrl + mouse wheel back" (to reset the zoom press "ctrl+0") That at least temporarily fixes it. I should be more aware of lower resolution computers from now on. Hope that helps, thanks!

Ahh good point about the background.  You're right the darkness does give a good neon feel, but I guess I feel it still could use something more.  Or maybe balloons, shooting stars or something that float up to fill the upper darker sections as well as the clouds.
