Thrillville: Off the Rails is a theme park simulation video game developed by Frontier Developments. The sequel to the 2006 game Thrillville, it is again published by LucasArts. It was released in North America in October 2007.
The game contains mini-games to play along with editing roller-coasters. While the DS version contains only seven mini-games, the versions for other consoles contain over 40 mini-games. The roller-coaster editor is similar to that of the Roller Coaster Tycoon series, but all coasters have to start in assigned areas. If the assigned missions are completed, then the player receives thrill points. If enough thrill points are gained, the player can move to the next level.
The game received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Most critics cited that the mini-games are a welcome addition, especially for multiplayer; however, the game was criticized for its so-so graphics, including the PC and Xbox 360 versions. Critics also cited some cases of repetitiveness in gameplay.
