Crazy Castle

Overview
Crazy Castle is the first park in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. This is not to say that it is the easiest, though it is still a fairly straightforward scenario. You have a large empty castle in which to build rides, and some land outside to build as well. You can buy almost all of the land in the scenario, but you shouldn't need to.

Pre-Built Rides:

 * None

Scenario Guide
General Hints

Because it's a very straight forward park, it's best to start with a few simple rides. Create one or a few gentle rides, one or more thrilling rides and a roller-coaster. You should also add two stalls (something to drink and to eat) and a restroom. Then hire one or two handymen and one or two mechanics. It's usually a good idea to give them a part of your park to manage, but remember to add the new rides as you go along. This start can be accomplished without loaning any money.

Just before you open the park, make sure you get rid of the path around the castle and other pathways you don't readily need. This is because the guests like to get lost in the park and they usually do it on the pathways you don't use anyway. If you think you'll need the pathways later on, you can also get rid of one tile of the path. Don't use the stop-signs for that, it's cheaper to destroy and later on add the path ($12-$10=$2).

The secret to creating a good park is:
 * 1) Always listen to your guests


 * 1) Make sure you have enough and a variety of rides and stalls for the right price (as a rule of thumb add $0,50 to $1.00 to the base price)


 * 1) Have enough staff work for you (later on 15-20 people per category), sually you need less security guards and even less entertainers, but do whatever feels right


 * 1) Keep expanding, even when you have to loan for it, which also implies research (normal funding is usually good enough)


 * 1) Add benches and trash cans to the path, usually you don't need more scenery items
