Diamond Heights

Overview
Diamond Heights is already a successful theme park with great rides - develop it to double its value.

Diamond Heights is the first of only a few scenarios with a goal of Park Value. This is still an easy scenario, however. There are already several rides built, but they are slightly old and Agoraphobia and Claustrophobia are prone to crashing. (You should put brakes set at speed 4 at the end.) Still, this scenario should pose few problems.

Scenario Guide
One of the biggest problems with Diamond Heights is its uneven terrain and huge bodies of water, which makes virtually any form of construction a little more costly. The first thing that you should probably do is build some shops and stalls as the guests are probably hungry. You should then diversify the variety of rides in the park. You might also want to focus all Research & Development funds at first to shops and stalls so you can get something that sells drinks. Then you can switch it to Thrill Rides and Gentle Rides. This will allow you to build future attractions, such as Go-Karts and Water Slides, before the end of Year 3. While the four roller coasters in Diamond Heights are probably more than enough to satisfy the needs of the guests, you may need to build a fifth roller coaster in order to reach the objective, although this should only be done as a last resort. Shortstuff's Slide may need to be changed to single ride per admission mode as some guests may ride again and again while complaining about being on the ride too long. Use that as last resort, though, since it will lower the excitement rating. You can increase capacity by allowing 5 riders on it.

Also, make sure you lower the inspection time of both of the dueling roller coasters named Claustrophobia and Agoraphobia to 10 minutes. This is due to the fact that both these rollercoasters can crash by having the "Station Brakes Failure" breakdown, and will most likely occur in either your 2nd or 3rd year. It is strongly suggested that you place two mechanics patrolled at the exits of both rides to ensure these rides do not crash and kill your guests! Just in case it does happen, save often and reload your saved game, just before the ride crashed. An alternative method is to have them operate one large 8 car train, which will increase the excitement rating and still allow a large amount of guests at a time. To prevent crashes, edit the rides so that the cars enter the station at below 45 km/h (28 mp/h) by inserting a brake or an extra corner.
