Overview

This abandoned mine already has makings of a tourist attraction with its miniature railway and a pair of vertical drop coasters.

Canary Mines is a park filled with many hills and vertical faces. In the middle of this park, there are two great racing/dueling vertical coasters, the Zygorators. These rides provide a nice amount of profit. Another park that is good to practice building underground rides.

Pre-Built Rides:

  • Zygorator 1 (Vertical Roller Coaster)
Excitement Rating: 7.71 (Very High)
Intensity Rating: 6.09 (High)
Nausea Ratgin: 2.74 (Medium)

Excitement Rating: 7.47 (High)
Intensity Rating: 5.74 (High)
Nausea Rating: 2.74 (Medium)

Note: When either of the coasters break down, the game will tell you that the trains are stuck. This happens due how both of the coasters start. To prevent that, after the one that broke down is fixed, stop the game and click on the red button on the coaster's screen twice, then open and resume the game. It can be prevented by editing the ride.

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.

In the center of the park is not much space to build, but there is enough space on the hills around the park. Start by expanding in one direction, and start building a circle. When you reach the area above the entrance, consider building a path from the top of the hill to the initial underground path at the entrance. That way, gusets are less likely to get lost.

To attract 1,300 guests, you will need a few roller coasters. There are a few roller coasters available for research that don't need much space, like the Steel Wild Mouse Roller Coaster. You can also build coasters underground. This is especially recommended for the Mine Train Roller Coaster, as it will get a significant boost to excitement rating if it features some tunnels.

Getting money should not be an issue. Set a reasonable entry fee (~30$ in the beginning). Zygorator 1 & 2 will give you a nice boost, as you don't need to build a roller coaster as soon as you start. Instead, build a gentle ride, one or two thrill rides and some stalls and start advertising for your park. Once the cash comes flowing in, build roller coasters and add in some thrill and gentle rides when they are researched. You should plan ahead and build compact coasters, as you will probably need at least seven in the end. If you are a few guests short in September, start another advertising campaign.

Other Notes

Miners brought canaries into coal mines to warn them of toxic gases, i.e. methane. Because the birds are more sensitive than humans, when the birds become sick the miners usually have enough time to escape.
