** While rides breaking down is funny, the game doesn't really mention that you aren't ''supposed'' to let that happen: you're meant to task a Mechanic to do a checkup ''before'' they get to that point. Mechanics will fix broken rides automatically, but they have to be ordered to fix non-broken ones manually, which the game doesn't really go into (though, to be fair, it ''does'' warn you when a breakdown is about to happen via both a message and an Advisor popup, giving you a chance to send a mechanic over before its too late if you can act fast enough). If a ride breaks down too many times, it'll get [[KilledOffForReal "Condemned"]], leaving you with no choice but to tear it down.

* AmusementPark: Well, of course.

* ExpositionFairy: Buzzy, who advises you on how your guests feel about your prices, if one of your rides is broken down, etc.

* SidetrackedByTheAnalogy: If your balloons are selling well, the advisor will tell you they're "selling like hotcakes". Then he'll get distracted by the fact that hotcakes typically sell in stacks, and decide your balloons are selling more like grapes.

** [[AvertedTrope Sadly averted]] in the console versions, however... The music stays the same in those regardless of your guest count.

* {{Zeerust}}: Largely present in the Space Zone. [[http://www.old-games.com/screenshot/t6459-10-sim-theme-park-a-k.jpg It's not exactly trying to be a realistic depiction of the far future.]]

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: In Lost Kingdom, not only there's plenty of dinosaurs but there is also a ride that allows guests to ride a freaking pterosaur.

** The same instance is done with the UK English advisor telling you that visitors are buying "tons" of balloons, before noting that balloons don't weigh a ton at all. He corrects himself by saying they're buying a "whole lot" of them.

* VariableMix: As the parks get bigger in the PC version, more instruments and melodies are added to the background music.

The game is comprised of four worlds-Lost Kingdom, Halloween World, Wonderland, and Space Zone. Each zone starts out on a blank lot, where the player must construct his theme park from scratch. This includes placing various rides, shops, lavatories, decorative items, and the roads connecting these things to one another (all of which are themed to each area). Once the gates are opened, visitors begin arriving and will meander around the park to enjoy themselves. The objective is to maximize the amount of money your visitors pay during their stay, which is primarily achieved by keeping them as happy as possible for the duration.

* AnachronismStew: Lost Kingdom combines prehistoric features like dinosaurs with Central and South American indigenous imagery. It's a bit more understandable in the context of the Indiana Jones theme then park is shooting for.
