I've wanted a virtual theme park simulator ever since I heard of the Oculus Rift when Carmack showed off the duct-taped prototype that Palmer Luckey made in his garage.
I noticed Summer Funland on Steam and was interested but something always stuck in the back of my mind; it looked too good. I was thinking that maybe it was one of those promotional experiences like that MSI Experience thing(which was actually good) but maybe Funland is the result of a sponsorship so you'd see gaudy advertisements everywhere, but no. It's a legit theme park simulator and a great one.
It really does show off what a VIRTUAL REALITY theme park is and should be: it gives you enough of an experience aesthetically that you relate to it as a theme park set in the real world but it also takes advantage of the fact that in VR you don't need to worry about things like physics, scale, weather, budget, the local economy, zoning laws .etc, when building a park. You just build anything that couldn't be done in the real world.
You want a ride where you're racing a Batman-themed cycle through a dystopian city at 150MPH? You can do that. Want to ride a submersible through an ancient ruin while being pursued by a ravenous sea monster? You can do that. Want to hurtle through a kaleidoscopic tunnel while riding atop a glowing unicorn and using a rainbow joust to spear polygonal targets? You can do that.
It's amazing. The only this is I want MORE. More people, mascots wandering around, more rides, more activities, more park space. MORE!
Apparently this sim is getting expansions because parts of the park are sealed off with "in construction" labels in places. I want to see this sim expanded 3-4x its current size. I'd pay for expansion packs. I don't care. This is amazing. If they added co-op to this with voice chat, holy crap. Stuff like this is the future of VR.

Pros: Fun, colorful graphics. Excellent on-rails experiences such as roller coaster, underwater sub ride (the best!), etc. A lot of content, more than I expected. Climb the lighthouse, play mini-games, NPCs are attractive and add to the immersion. I finished most of the attractions, but haven't opened the secret door yet. The varied content, and fun environment is a great escape to a truly fun land.
Cons: A little motion sickness on intense rides, but not too much (I turned my head at times on the coaster). The full price is a little high for what you get.
Overall, this is an above average VR game, and would be very fun for kids, or the young at heart. Also, an excellent tech demo for introducing VR to friends.

I have a child with autism who adores this game. The interface is all very intuitive and immersive and there is a really neat variety of things to do.

I would say this VR Experience would be awesome if it releases two years early when VR just get released. The Wow factor diminished as more and more VR games released.
This game throws you into an amusement park and you get to play some mini games and go through some VR experiences. Mini games are very simplistic and therefore dont expect too much. The VR experiences also feel short and a little underwhelming by current standard.
The graphics is quite good (the roller coaster and the park) overall but some of the VR experiences feel dated , the models and textures are just okayish in quality. They are just not as good as the graphics of the newest VR games (I am using a GTX 1070). There's not much settings and you can only teleport and there is no locomotion option. It is also weird that the menu button is chosen to be the teleport button on the vive, and the orientation after every teleport is quite random and too hard to control. The developer should fix that.
Nonetheless, I recommend this experience for demoing to VR virgins.

This is the second greatest place on earth, right here.
You guys managed to perfectly capture the atmosphere, fun and experience of a great themepark, unmatched by any other VR or Non-VR game out there.
If Disney ever makes a big budget VR release of their themeparks, they must pick this development studio to develop it. Anyone else making it would only bring dissapointment and not nearly the same level of quality.
10/10!

This game is great. It is one of the best or is the best of its kind. It’s light, entertaining and is updated with new attractions, which keeps you coming back. Highly recommend for everyone. Family friendly. Keep updates coming. How about adding a haunted mansion. ?

Pretty nice. Game is simple but funny, contains many mini games and features - perfect for party. I really like graphic design, colorfully but clear.
