==Overview==
''Free of any financial limits, your challenge is to develop this desert park while keeping the guests happy.''
 
Arid Heights is uniquethe infirst thatscenario itof is[[Roller Coaster Tycoon|the firstoriginal scenariogame]] that [[No money scenario|neither uses money]] nor has a time goal. It is a large desert park which is ideal for practicing roller coaster building skills. The park can't be closed, unless the park rating goes below 700, then youwhich will beprompt warned thatthe you have four weeksplayer to raise it again within four weeks, or yourthe park will close and youthe player will fail the scenario, without any means to reopen the park.
 
==Scenario Guide==
The scenario guide can be viewed [[Arid Heights/Scenario Guide|here]].

At the very beginning of the scenario, build the [[Scrambled Eggs|Scrambled Eggs/Twist]] ride and two milder rides. After that, hire several of every staff type. Since the park will close if the rating is under 700 for four weeks, and you have infinite cash, you should never be understaffed here. After hiring the staff, extend the pathway a bit, and build a good roller coaster, preferably a wooden one. Then build one of each type of stall - info, food, drinks, and toilets. Flattening a heap of the land helps, so its easier to build rides and it doesn't cost a thing!

==={{Water Rides}}===
After building the stalls, you should build another roller coaster or a [[Water Slide|water slide]]. Be careful on the water slide - lack of good planning can cause it to crash, which is a severe blow to the park rating. By now, build any thrill or mild rides you have researched. It is very important to be constantly building. I find it a good idea to separate rides into sections - either by intensity/excitement or by scenery. Remember to keep hiring ample amounts of staff. The maximum number of staff you can have is over 200, so hire away!

====Researched====
Keep expanding the park according to the above guidelines, and if you don't have any major problems, you should have the max park rating somewhere between 800-1000 guests. Save every so often so as not to lose your progress. As long as you have ample staff, and few severe accidents occur, the rest of the scenario should be a breeze. Simply keep building, the choice is now generally up to you, and you'll reach [[File:Arid_Heights.jpg|thumb|296px|Scenario finished by [[User:RollercoastertycoonX|RollercoastertycoonX]].]]2,000 guests in your park in no time. With unlimited cash, you should also replace rides as they become old and unreliable. If a ride drops below 70%, there's no excuse not to replace it. This will keep guests happy and the park rating will remain very high throughout the entire scenario. If you keep listening to your guest's wishes and keep on building new rides, you'll reach 2000 guests in no time!

==Notes==
*This scenario should not be confused with the [[Extreme Heights]] scenario in [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]]. Both scenarios have unlimited money and are set in the desert.
*This is the first scenario in the series where the [[Car Ride]] is to be researched, instead of being available from the start.
*This is the first Loopy Landscapes Scenario where every object is available for research.
