Meet Carnival-Tycoon, My New Time-Suck!

Create long lines and watch profits soar! Bwahahahahahaha!

The biggest problem any author has is finding new ways to waste time instead of scribing their next big thing. Trust me, I know this. That is why I am writing today's post on awesome ways to waste
time. Since I am SUCH a big believer in efficiency, in this case, you only need one, and that is the wonder that is Carnival-Tycoon.

A Charming Theme Park Sim

There may be other more popular versions of this game available for purchase, but this specific version is different. It is completely web-based so there is nothing to download. It is also 100% free to play. I get absolutely nothing from the mention of this game other than the satisfaction of sharing the joy I have received from it as a fan of simulation games in general.

Even if you aren't a gamer, you might know someone who would enjoy building their own theme park, so share, share, share!

The Sights and Sounds of Carnival Life

What I enjoy most is the fact that while Carnival-Tycoon is a free app, it is very well done in terms of detail. Every attraction is animated in its own special way and comes complete with high-quality sound-bytes. It's like you are actually at a carnival!

There is a story-mode where you can attempt to complete pre-set goals and challenges. Or you can play in sandbox mode (my favorite) and build your own theme park from scratch. There are plenty of offerings which you can use to color your landscape and own the park of your dreams only to tear it down and start over again. Yes, it IS that fun!

If you do decide to play, I'd love to see what you've come up with for your own perfect park!
