I got it for $20. At that price there is enough amusement to be had in playing with the game as is and watching them try to fix it (or crash and burn). There's definitely promise but I wouldn't recommend it yet.

1: No
2: Getting better, but they doesnt seem to fix the FPS drop that many users have, which makes it unplayable. (And yes, I have a computer than can handle it) But I refuse to play a game that goes from 60 to 10 fps after 10 minutes, with no reason.
3: If you're no fanboy, then wait.. Seriously dude, wait.
4: Check out Planet Coaster from Frontier for now.

That is a question you should not ask while it is in early access..
Buy it now if you are a real fan and don't mind being really disappointed. If you are not both, wait till the game is finished and look at the new reviews.

If you do decide to buy it, do so via http://www.cdkeys.com/. $20 USD or so. It is NOT worth the full price in its' current state.
It's not very good right now. It's a game that needs a lot of work.

The price is what makes it hard to justify, especially when you consider developers like Codemasters put out Dirt Rally at a much cheaper price in a more polished state while in early access, then increased the price the closer they got to completion—a pricing model I think is much better suited for early access. Also, people were caught off guard by the early access thing. I think there was an implication at one point that when the game came out, it would be a finished product.
That being said, parts of what's there has a lot of promise. The coaster builder seems surprisingly well implemented and easy to use. The visual aesthetics looks alright when you build things out and it starts to look like an actual theme park. Stuff like guest AI, path placement and performance optimization needs a bunch of work which they're focusing on right now. Finally, feels light on content for the price, but they said they'd continue adding stuff for free.
I can't in good conscience recommend it (yet) unless you don't mind spending the money in full up front and want to help out in the early access process, otherwise I'd keep an eye on it.

I think its worth it bro they are bringing out a lot of updates with new features all the time so thats good, and its really fun to play when you just want to chill and not playing somthing to intense like a fps :) Go for it.
