Scenario Guide

Remember:

The Scenario Guide below is only a suggested strategy for completing this scenario—it may not work for all players.
The General Scenario Guide and Hints and Tips articles may also provide helpful information in completing this scenario.
There are usually multiple strategies to successfully completing a scenario; these can be discussed on the scenario's discussion page or written down in an existing or additional section of this article.

This park requires a lot of fixing. There are a few problems. The 6 major problems are as follows:

There are FAR too little handymen and engineers;
All of the rides are free;
Everybody is getting lost;
There are FAR too little shops & stalls;
There are FAR too little benches and trash bins, and a lot of the ones that are available for visitors to the park have been vandalized.
Your initial loan is extremely high ($4 770 000!), so making money will be very difficult.

The first thing to do is to hit pause. Then fire all of your staff members, and hire at least 40-50 handymen and set their patrol areas. Look at the solution to the thrid problem first to help with setting the patrol areas. Also use FAR smaller patrol areas for engineers (so you should certainly hire a lot of new ones), or hire one engineer per ride and set their patrol areas on the exit of a ride.

The second problem can be solved easily. Just set thrill ride-prizes to $1, rollercoaster-prizes to $3, gentle ride-prizes to $0.20 and 3D cinema's to $0.50. Players can keep these prices all the way until the scenario is finished. This way, players can make a profit every month.

The third problem requires 2 changes. First of all: simplify the pathways everywhere. Also remove the entire underground path that runs from the exit of Runaway Minetrain towards the park exit. This is very time-consuming, but it will also be very helpful. The second critical thing here is to add 2 extra paths. One that runs from the Runaway Minetrain area directly to the park exit, and the second one must be added from the path that runs from the exit of Black Hole, towards the path that runs south of it (the one that runs past the right side of the two lakes).

The fourth thing is to add a lot of shops and stalls. Maybe even a hundred. Make sure there are at least 25-30 Information Kiosks and Bathrooms scattered around your park, and at least 15-20 food and drink stalls. Also note that there is a pre-built Ice Cream stall in the park that is closed, and can be easily opened by opening all rides at the beginning of the scenario.

The final thing is to is to build benches and trash bins everywhere around your park.

Other Notes

The Car Ride "Hex... the Legend of theTowers", has one space missing, so that the words the and Towers are fused together. This is not a typo, but this was done on purpose, because there's a limit to the length of a ride name. That limit is 30 characters. When the name is spelled "wrongly", like it is now, it contains exactly that maximum amount of characters. With the added extra space, the last character would disappear.
According to Chris Sawyer's website, Alton Towers had originally wanted to use some of the game's music in their park, but this project was cancelled.
