Sprightly Park

Overview
This elderly park has many historical rides but is badly in debt.

This park is similar to Crumbly Woods for the fact that all the rides are really old, except the rides in Sprightly Park are older with age ranging from 23-42 years old, with one ride the player is not allowed to remove. The park also has a very high initial loan ($250.000!) so lots of cash will be lost through loan interest. There is land available to buy at the back of the park, but it costs $80 per square, it is not recommended to buy land at all as long as the player has not repaid the loan.

Scenario Guide


The first thing you should do is replace some of the rides in the park, it's easy to do with the flat rides, but not so much for the tracked rides (remember that you can't demolish Halitosis). Once you've done all that, start charging a fee for the rides or increase the entry fee to get some money rolling in. Next, place a few food stalls, drink stalls and bathrooms throughout the park as there's only one food stall and one bathroom (don't forget to build a few information kiosks as well). You should also remove the $0.10 fee for the pre-built bathrooms. Next, build some more trashcans and benches and hire some handymen. The four initial mechanics will usually be enough at first, just make sure their patrol routes include all rides. Whenever you have some money to spare, reduce your loan. Only save money if you want to build an expensive ride. Even if you won't be able to repay the whole loan the more you repay, the less interest you have to pay each month. Don't forget to set your research funding to $400 and if you want additonaly to the entry fee charge ride admission too, charge 0.10$ for gentle, 0.20$ for thrill and 0.50$ for roller coaster.

Another problem is the lack of exciting rides. You only get 7 different roller coasters, 3 Thrill Rides and 3 Exciting Water Rides. Among them are the Wooden Side-Friction Roller Coaster, Wooden Reverser Roller Coaster and Virginia Reel. It can be difficult to get a high excitement rating on these. If you are not good at designing your own, try to keep Shooting Starr and Halitosis reliable by setting a mechanics patrol route to include only one of these rides. A Wooden Twister Roller Coaster and Mine Train Roller Coaster will be expensive, so you might want to build them last, but with an excitement of at least 7.00 on one of them to attract a lot of guests.

You also don't have much space, as most of it is very hilly. Landscaping is expensive, as is new land. Try stacking rides on top of each other, especially roller coasters, to conserve space. In the end, 7 Roller Coasters (one of each), a Water Slide and a Log Flume or River Ride should be enough to get 1,500 guests. Building more than one Go Kart track is advisable to compensate for the lack of Thrill Rides. Use advertisements if necessary, as it might get pretty close in the end.

Other Notes
The Origin of the names in this park is quite random, as the Virginia Reel you cannot demolish is named Halitosis, and halitosis is a bad condition of breath and rotting in the mouth. It could be said, however that this is a creative name for Halitosis, as this ride is about 40 years old and made of wood, which, obviously, can rot. The origin of the Shooting Starr coaster's name seems to be unknown, but could be referring to something particular, as it is written with two r's.
