''The area around a dam is available for you to develop into an amusement park.''


Your park consists of a dam between two hilly areas of land. Upstream of the dam is a deep lake that makes up much of the area of your park but is too deep for many rides, while downstream is a shallow stream body that, although narrow, is still reasonably flat.
The area at both sides of the dam is uneven (making building more costly), while the watery areas are flat. However almost any form of construction is impossible in the upper body of water because the water there is very deep (while you can do some landscaping, you will be draining a lot money doing so).

You should probably start by constructing rides at the lower body of water, since that area is flat and is not ridiculously deep as the upper body of water. Build a roller coaster, a few less intense rides and a few shops on the water. Be sure to build somes paths and a chairlift so the guests can get down to that area. Do not forget to build an information kiosk near the entrance so the guests do not get lost as well as hire some staff. When you have everything set up, open your park to public.
Although you have very little land area suitable for building rides, you have several good rides available from the start including the [[Top Spin|Gravitron]] and the [[Whoa Belly/Launched Freefall|Whoa Belly]]. Build one of each of those rides along with a gentle ride and a small roller coaster below the dam on the shallow water body, and then connect the newly built rides to the area above with a path and a chairlift. Be sure to build an information kiosk to keep your guests from getting lost, as your paths may become complicated very early on in this scenario.

With all the money made, invest in more rides and shops, filling as much space as possible on the lower area. If you are low on space, build some underground rides in the hills on the side. If you do run out of space, you will have to build on the upper area (make sure you have enough money and that the rides you want to build can be build on high elevations or water), do not forget to hire some more staff members. If all goes well, you should have the required number of guest (there are market campaigns if you do not have the required number) and a good park rating, you will just have to be patient until year 3 ends.
As you attract more guests and earn more money, you should continue to expand in the shallow area as much as you can. You will eventually need to build on and in the hills as well as on the lake above the dam, but you should have enough money and ride options available to do so if you plan carefully. Should you still be shy of 1400 guests toward the end of the final year, use advertising campaigns; do not slash any prices, as doing so may deprive you of money you may need to build one last good roller coaster.
