Karts & Coasters

Overview
A large park hidden in the forest, with only go-kart tracks and wooden roller coasters.

In Karts & Coasters, as the park's name suggests, Go Karts & Wooden Roller Coasters are the only pre-built ride types. This park has its charm, but has a certain issues, such as poorly designed roller coasters, large space consumption of pre-built rides and a significant tree litter.

Scenario guide
First off, as with every scenario, check the prices for rides and the park entrance fee. Increase or decrease prices as you like. Build lots of benches, trash cans, shops, stalls, and bathrooms, as this park is pretty large and hard to manage regarding tidiness. Hence, a minimum of five handymen with limited patrolling space is recommended. Five bathrooms and four shops of each type (one in every corner) should work just fine. Researching and scattering information kiosks is an imperative to prevent the guests from getting lost, although rain falls rather rarely in this scenario. If the expansion packs are installed, making use of the no-entry signs on ride exits is advised.

All the rides you start with are strangely designed and consume a lot of space. Both pre-built Wooden Roller Coasters are prone to crashing. Close these two roller coasters as soon as possible and add some brakes at the ends of their tracks. For good measure, you can limit them to only one large 7-car train each and add On-ride photo sections to increase the safety, but maintain their high profit potential. Tip: Their is another way to slow the trains down if you don't want the one large train 7 car train. At the beginning of the scenario pause and research upgrades only and Maximize it. The water spash section should appear 1st. When it comes in Close Down both Wooden Coasters. On Big Woodchip delete from end of station to just before the bottom of the last hill. The water splash should fit in the tunnel fine. On Bigger Woodchip it's the same thing clear out any trees then delete first two curve parts then expand towards the hill with at least 5 straight sections. Put the banked curves back in. Put the water splash in by the last curve by station. The water splash section should slow fully load trains speed greatly and make the Coasters Station Brakes Failure safe.

Many guests will complain about the queue times for King Karts and Turnpike. Since these tracks are very long, and they are set to Race mode, the winner gets an extra lap. This means that the lines move very slowly and the riders who are positioned in the karts that are waiting for the first place driver of the last race will be waiting a while. The best solution in this case would be to set both tracks to "Continuous Circuit Mode", so that the karts can go as soon as they are loaded, and only get one lap. Alternatives would be shortening the queue lines by replacing parts of them with normal footpaths and/or assigning entertainers in a limited patrol area around the queue lines. You can also shorten the go-karts and coasters to shorten the ride time and increase the income rate.

Set up some gentle and thrill rides you have available. Try to leave room for a third roller coaster somewhere, as there is not much space available, making the Wooden Crazy Rodent Roller Coaster the perfect choice. If you research roller coasters for several months, you will get the Steel Corkscrew Roller Coaster, allowing you to create multiple small coasters in the reverse-incline mode.

The number of trees throughout the park is very noticable. One option is to remove many of them as you make room for rides. Another option is to remove some of them trees for flat rides, but try to build mostly around them, as many guests will comment about the beautiful scenery. This would raise the park rating, earn you the Most Beautiful Park Award, and thus make attaining the 1000 guests easier.

Attaining 1000 guests in three years may seem pretty difficult, especially when reaching the third year. Set research priorities to Thrill Rides to gather a wide variety of them, as they have a greater potential to attract guests than gentle rides. If you are still more than 200 guests short by year 3, make use of advertising and marketing campaigns to make up the rest.
