Overview

Free of any financial limits, your challenge is to develop this desert park while keeping the guests happy.

Arid Heights is the first scenario of the original game that 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, which will prompt the player to raise it again within four weeks, or the park will close and the player will fail the scenario, without any means to reopen the park.

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.
