Overview

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

Arid Heights is unique in that it is the first scenario 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, then you will be warned that you have four weeks to raise it again, or your park will close and you will fail the scenario.

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.

At the very beginning of the scenario, build the 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.

After building the stalls, you should build another roller coaster or a 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!

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

Scenario finished by rollercoastertycoonX.

2000 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!
