Due to the lack of a Time limit, this scenario is fairly easy, which is to be expected as this parrallels the Sandbox mode. The player can build any building in the game and is given a generous $100,000 loan. The Park features a Lake in the middle and some Desert Terrain in the North-East Corner. Aside from this the Park is relatively flat except for the edges. |

This is ''the'' pre-installed scenario that comes with RCT2 that resembles a sandbox the most, being almost completely flat except for a water feature in the middle of the park boundaries as well as some hilly terrain near the back, and with multiple rides, stalls, and scenery/theming objects immediately available. The starting loan is $10,000 and can be increased all the way up to $100,000, which should be sufficient to build most ride designs. This is also a park entrance fee scenario, so the rides are free. [[Hints_and_Tips#.22Paid_Park_Entry.2FFree_Rides.22_Parks|The relevant section in Hints and Tips]] contains additional advice for scenarios like this one. |

The only restrictions on the player are money which is a factor throughout. Park Size, since it can be a bit daunting seeing the open space lacking in anything. |
|||
First, uncheck Shops & Stalls from research priorities. The park already has a wide variety of shops and stalls available, so research should be focused on other areas. Next, build a ride or two—a Merry-Go-Round and small roller coaster is a good starting point—before opening the park. Set the park entrance fee to $60, which is the lowest amount of cash a guest will start with in this scenario. |

The player should use their knowledge from previous Guest/Park Rating scenarios and apply those skills to this scenario. This includes building Rollercoasters, Thrill Rides, Gentle Rides, Water Rides, Transport Rides and Shops & Stalls but giving appropriate placement and consideration to each component of the Park. The player is also given all theming meaning that should the player desire Classical/Roman, Jurrasic, Roaring Twenties, Rock n' Roll, Europe, Americas, etc. theming it is available to them. |
|||
A prudent approach to developing this park is to '''start small'''. Although the loan interest is only 5%, building expensive ride designs (like the larger Six Flags coasters such as Texas Giant) will cause the amount of interest to add up quite fast—maxing out the loan limit incurs a monthly interest fee of $2,000, which is extremely high at the start of the scenario and likely to offset any profits made. In addition, the number of guests visiting the park is determined largely by the number of operating rides, not the size of each ride. Hence, building a decent number of rides that are flat/compact and cheap will keep a constant flow of guests entering the park, providing a consistent source of income. The loan interest should be manageable once monthly income exceeds $1,500, at which point larger, costlier rides can be considered. |

Given the size of the park, as well as the availability of many common Scenery/Themeing objects right at the beginning of the scenario, it may also be worth "decorating" areas where rides are going to be built, as well as dividing the park into little "themed" zones. While making the park look more realistic has no direct effect on the guests, they still respond positively to high amounts of scenery objects placed around the park. This may occasionally cause the park to receive the "Most Beautiful Park" award, which increases the number of guests entering the park for about two months, even if no new rides are built during the period. |

The objective requirement of getting 1,500 guests in the park by the end of Year 4 should be quite achievable as long as new rides are constantly built and a balance between income and expenditure is maintained. |

This is the pre-installed scenario that comes with RCT2 that resembles a sandbox the most, being almost completely flat except for a water feature in the middle of the park boundaries as well as some hilly terrain near the back, and with multiple rides, stalls, and scenery/theming objects immediately available. The starting loan is $10,000 and can be increased all the way up to $100,000, which should be sufficient to build most ride designs. This is also a park entrance fee scenario, so the rides are free. The relevant section in Hints and Tips contains additional advice for scenarios like this one.
First, uncheck Shops & Stalls from research priorities. The park already has a wide variety of shops and stalls available, so research should be focused on other areas. Next, build a ride or two—a Merry-Go-Round and small roller coaster is a good starting point—before opening the park. Set the park entrance fee to $60, which is the lowest amount of cash a guest will start with in this scenario.
A prudent approach to developing this park is to start small. Although the loan interest is only 5%, building expensive ride designs (like the larger Six Flags coasters such as Texas Giant) will cause the amount of interest to add up quite fast—maxing out the loan limit incurs a monthly interest fee of $2,000, which is extremely high at the start of the scenario and likely to offset any profits made. In addition, the number of guests visiting the park is determined largely by the number of operating rides, not the size of each ride. Hence, building a decent number of rides that are flat/compact and cheap will keep a constant flow of guests entering the park, providing a consistent source of income. The loan interest should be manageable once monthly income exceeds $1,500, at which point larger, costlier rides can be considered.
Given the size of the park, as well as the availability of many common Scenery/Themeing objects right at the beginning of the scenario, it may also be worth "decorating" areas where rides are going to be built, as well as dividing the park into little "themed" zones.
