"Thrillville" is a simulation and strategy video game that simulates theme park management. It was developed by Frontier Developments, also a developer of the similar theme park game "RollerCoaster Tycoon 3". The game is available on the PlayStation 2, the PlayStation Portable, and Xbox.

Plot

Your Uncle Mortimier is having trouble building his theme parks, so he asks you for help. You must work with him to build the greatest park ever. But a new park chain called "Globo-Joy" is stealing all your ideas. Globo-Joy is later revealed to be built atop Animal Sanctuaries and Orphanages. Eventually, they get closed down, and Morty gets a job as a college professor in England, so he leaves the park to you.

You are left with the last park, Treasures of Thrillville, where there are no rides, stalls, or games. You do not have any starting attractions at all, and you must quickly change that. Once you have completed all of the missions gold, you unlock these mini-games: Luftwaffe 109 Turbo and Entertainer Turbo.

Gameplay

The game includes 100 missions to achieve in 5 different parks, each of which have 3 areas. The game also features a large number of mini-games, such as kart racing, first-person shooters, Sparkle Island and scrolling shooters. These can be played in single or multiplayer mode.

Contrary to most games, the player can actually interact with park guests. You can talk, chat, challenge, and for the teens, flirt. The main purpose of this feature is to improve the park, based on the guests' taste. The player can also buy souvenirs for their character like hats and baloons.

However, Thrillville allows much less customization than other amusement park simulators like RollerCoaster Tycoon games. The themes are pre-set, and no sandbox mode or scenario editor is present. There are a very limited number of rides and stalls, and rides must be built in build zones, and coasters at pre-set stations.
