The Atari partnership with Six Flags introduces some of the theme park brand’s most popular roller coasters, rides, and family attractions to RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch. Park visitors can face their fears by riding one beast of a roller coaster, Tatsu, and board the exhilarating Spinsanity — a giant spinning disk that soars across a colorful half-pipe. Guests can also enjoy a delicious meal at Primo’s Pizzeria and satisfy their sweet tooth with a visit to Coaster Candy. Players can personalize their theme parks with five Six Flags-branded features, with more to come in future seasonal updates. Six Flags attractions are available via the in-game store or unlocked by completing in-game challenges.
