Have you contacted your game manufacturer for support
or visited its web site? That would be the logical starting
point in resolving your issues. Doubt anyone else is more
qualified than your game manufacturer to answer questions
about running the game on XP.

go to start > help and support then in the search type "program compatibility"
on the left hand side click on Getting older programs to run on Windows XP.

from there click on the program compatibility wizard and follow the
instructions to find the theme park program and change it to run in windows
95 mode

should work!!! (fingers crossed)

Let me know if this helps
