disipointed theres no normal career mode
By that i mean being able to build up a park not in sandbox mode. Where you have to manage your money instead of already having a park made for you :/

Challenges = limited funds/unlocks sandbox.

Challenge mode is basically that. You start with an empty park and an amount of money depending on difficulty setting.

I'm finding that challenge can be... well, quite challenging on medium difficulty. Maybe challenging is not the right word, but slow. It takes a million years to start banking up enough money to begin expanding exponentially.

And of course, forget about making cool designs and making everything beautiful at the beginning because otherwise your very limited funds go to waste :(

The correct answer would be "then play sandbox", which is what I'm going to do because honestly the financial aspect of this game is pretty bad.

I had the first same impression, They should switch names carreer and challenge. As I see the carreer more like challenges with improving already build parks. And Challenge more like a fresh carreer ;)

Career looks like a tutorial to me.

I do wish there was a sandbox mode without unlimited funds. Kind of defeats some of the purpose if you don't have to worry about money, but I hate scenario play because I dislike picking things up that have already been started and having to complete them. I'm a blank slate kind of person.

Challenges is actually Career as most of us think of it. empty park, some funds, try to make money.

not sure why they flip it

The problem with challenge mode is that the initial funds are too low, so it takes too long to kickstart your park to a point where you can start expanding fast.

What this means is that you can't build anything fancy at the beginning with only $2000, you can only do ugly straight paths with ugly rides and ugly queues, and you have to suck that up until you start making decent money so you can start redesigning everything from scratch.

I think it's better to simply play sandbox mode right away, it saves you from playing those annoying first hours.
welll i started with 90000 usd built a coaster only had 500 usd left manged to pull it back finished the game with 4 coasters loads of rides i know it can be a pain but to pull that back is amazing feeling

you can change that at the start of the game file. It defaults to medium
