There's also Parkitect, which is a sort of spiritual successor to RCT2. It might be a little more accessible if you're trying to introduce kids to the RCT games.

Sort of, but it plays not nearly as good and the coaster physics are bad.

The thing I really don’t like is that it puts too much emphasis on scenery and not the tides themselves.

The thing you don't like is why I think it's pretty good for introducing younger players to the genre. Being able to build something that looks pretty in the game provides a much more immediate feedback than taking a few hours to try to understand the coaster mechanics.

What about Planet Coaster?

Planet Coaster is good, but it has a vastly different aesthetic. RCT2 and 2 had that nice isometric grid which Parkitect has as well.
