from what I hear... everyone has that problems.
Some people get it working by going inside the app (right click and Show Package Contents) and running Contents/MacOS/cider_noui directly.. it launches through Terminal. Some people have reported this didn't work for them, but others have gotten it to work.
I do not have the game, but I'd suspect you could edit the Contents/Info.plist file and change the main executable from cider to cider_noui (or whatever its called) and the app would start working.

I've not had any problems?! I have however got the download version from Direct2drive.co.uk. I have infact bought World Adventures expansion since going to Lion and that too works fine (although its not worth £20 in my opinion).
Thanks guys for that, i got it working but when i try to build it freezes and i can't do anything unless i turn the mac off.
I have the same problem, however the game used to play on this computer just fine. I use snowleopard though. Game will install, looks like it starts up, flashes the startupscreen, and crashhes
