Reception
The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Eric Bratcher of NextGen said of the game, "It's slightly under-ambitious, but this is one ride that you should definitely consider taking." Bad Hare of GamePro said, "Ultimate Ride succeeds where Rollercoaster Tycoon and even Sim Theme Park failed---it gives you the true sensation of riding a rollercoaster, the logical tools to build them, and the ability to show your work quickly and easily. If you're just looking for a creative adrenaline rush without a lot of hassles, check out Ultimate Ride."
