The player's information bar is at the bottom of the screen. When riding an attraction, timing your jumps carefully is essential to survival and completing the game. In order to do this, gambles and risks will have to be taken. In order to complete the game, the player must collect every money bag which is strewn around the city-sized amusement park even the money bags placed on precarious perches and in the middle of rides. The player must also navigate carefully through funhouses and motion platforms, which are treacherously going wild without operation, in your task to collect all the discarded money. In this effect the protagonist is also a daredevil stuntman. You may even have to perform stunts, such as jumping from a moving carriage to another to grab money bags left in between the tracks. Some of these rides can be dangerous for example the protagonist can be hit by moving carriages, or electrocuted by the rails. The selection of rides, and physical attributes of those rides, strongly suggest the influence of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, which at the time featured almost all of the rides included in the game. You will need to hitch a ride on many of the attractions to progress through the amusement park, and to collect misplaced money bags in order that you may complete your task. It will take a lot of time and effort to reach the summit of the amusement park and subsequently the eponymous roller coaster which sits atop it. At the summit, towering over all other rides, sits a gigantic roller coaster, the namesake of the game. The smallest rides are located at ground level, and gradually get larger and larger and more complicated the higher the player gets. The amusement park is not linear or constructed at ground level, but instead built entirely on a towering vertical tiered structure. Some money bags, quite dangerously, have even been left in the centre of the moving rides. In order to reach some money bags that are placed in high positions or other awkward places you will need to utilise the rides. This is simultaneously both a help to your task, and an obstacle. The electricity is still up and running and the amusement rides have been left active overnight they are in overdrive and erratic.
Amusement rides utilised in the gameĭespite the fact that you are alone in the park, all is not quiet. It appears that the protagonist is a trespasser and a thief, although neither his identity nor his motives are elaborated on further. The goal is to collect money - in the form of little money bags - which have been dropped by excited and clumsy members of the public throughout the day. The player takes control of a protagonist who sneaks into the amusement park after both staff and customers have left. The game takes place in and around an amusement park after closing-time.
