About OpenRCT2

OpenRCT2 is an open-source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (RCT2).

The gameplay revolves around building and maintaining an amusement park containing

attractions, shops and facilities. The player must try to make a profit and maintain

a good park reputation whilst keeping the guests happy. OpenRCT2 allows for both

scenario and sandbox play. Scenarios require the player to complete a certain

objective in a set time limit whilst sandbox allows the player to build a more

flexible park with optionally no restrictions or finance.

OpenRCT2 features many changes compared to the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 game. A few of them are listed here.
