It's about 2 games, so I'll ask it out here, especially since the forums don't seem all that active.

1) Does Theme Park have a campaign that you can actually finish, or is it just play forever type like Simcity?
2) Does Theme Hospital have a campaign that you can actually finish, or is it just play forever type like Simcity?
3) Is Theme Hospital a sequel to Theme Park in any way? Sotorywise or otherwise?

Thanks.

1) No idea.
2) Yes, there is a campaign. In fact, I am not sure if there is a "Free play" mode. It has been a long time I finished it.
3) I think no.
Theme Hospital definitely has a campaign. Can't remember Theme Park too well, but i think it had some sort of a basic campaign where you moved from one park to another.

Theme Hospital is not a sequel. It's related only through name and that's all. But it's the funnier game.

Both were made by Bullfrog if i remember well. That being the only relation.

And did this campaign actually have a "you won" ending or did it go on forever?
1)It does have a campaign. Sort of. It's basically a huge world map with various theme park locations you can buy. The goal is to get each park to a certain value and then sell it for enough profit that you can buy a more expensive plot of land. At the beginning, you only have one location to choose from and all of them vary in terms of conditions and difficulty.

2) The game is a somewhat extensive campaign (I think 10 or 12 consecutive missions). It continuously increases in difficulty and complexity. Each mission introduces new mechanics, diseases and rooms to build and it really gets crazy after a while.
Usually, the mission goals are "cure X amount of patients" and "raise Hospital value to X amount of dollars".

3) It's a management game, there isn't really a story to speak of outside of "do things, get money".
They're not even very similar in terms of gameplay. Theme Park is a pretty typical business management sim with a sense of humour, as well as a good bit more personality and less refined gameplay than Rollercoaster Tycoon; whereas Theme Hospital plays a lot more like Dungeon Keeper, with a focus on various rooms to place and manage in a very confined space and staff members that you have to keep happy while they do their job.
Theme Hospital is also a hilarious game, with a pretty dark sense of humour.

Thanks! Just a quick question. Do these campaigns actually end? You get a "Congratualtions you win!" screen or do you just keep getting new missions forever?

Can't speak for Theme Park, but I'm pretty sure the campaign for Theme Hospital actually ends. There are only so many spaces on the game board it uses to help represent your progress through the missions. I'm only "pretty sure" because I haven't tried to complete it yet; I've only played the first few missions.

No, there's only a limited amount of missions. In Theme Park, the game ends (as far as I know) once you've gone through all the locations on the world map, with a short "congratulations" video.
Theme Hospital is a linear and limited sequence of missions, as seen here, in the intermission screen, where each of the larger spaces represents another scenario).
