'''Diamond Heights''' is the first of only a few scenarios with a ~~goal of~~ [[Park Value]] goal in the original ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon]]'' and ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic]]''. There are already several pre-built rides which work well, but they are slightly old, with Agoraphobia and Claustrophobia being prone to crashing with the next Station Brakes Failure. Still, this scenario should pose few problems. ===Pre-built rides=== '''Agoraphobia''' ([[Looping Roller Coaster]]) '''Agoraphobia''' (Steel Roller Coaster) (''Note: Agoraphobia:[[File:Steel_Roller_Coaster.png\|thumb\|Agoraphobia and Claustrophobia.]] Fear of being in a (usually wide open) public place which might trigger a panic attack'') :Excitement Rating: 7.20 (High) :Intensity Rating: 6.80 (High) :Nausea Rating: 3.07 (Medium) :Initial Pricing: $5.00 :Synchronized with '''Claustrophobia''' :(''Note: Agoraphobia:[[File:Steel_Roller_Coaster.png\|thumb\|Agoraphobia and Claustrophobia.]] Fear of being in a (usually wide open) public place which might trigger a panic attack'') '''Claustrophobia''' (~~Steel~~[[Looping Roller Coaster~~) (''Note: Claustrophobia: Fear of small, confined and/or closed in spaces''~~]]) :Excitement Rating: 7.77 (Very High) :Intensity Rating: 6.80 (High) :Nausea Rating: 3.54 (Medium) :Initial Pricing: $5.00 :Synchronized with '''Agoraphobia''' :(''Note: Claustrophobia: Fear of small, confined and/or closed in spaces'') '''Arachnophobia''' ([[Steel Mini Roller Coaster~~) (''Note: Arachnophobia: Fear of spiders''~~]]) :Excitement Rating: 5.79 (High) :Intensity Rating: 6.57 (High) :Nausea Rating: 4.62 (High) :Initial Pricing: $4.50 :(''Note: Arachnophobia: Fear of spiders'') '''Doppelgänger (EU) / Roller Coaster 1 (US) / ~~Doppelganger (EU)~~''' ([[Wooden ~~Crazy~~Wild ~~Rodent Roller Coaster~~Mouse]]) :Excitement Rating: 7.98 (Very High) :Intensity Rating: 9.29 (Very High) Line 44 ⟶ 54: :2 stations (synchronized) '''Grimble's Gallopers''' ([[Merry-Go-Round]]) :Excitement Rating: 1.34 (Low) :Intensity Rating: 0.60 (Low) Line 50 ⟶ 60: :Initial Pricing: $0.80 '''Indiana Jane Railroad (USEU) / Indiana ~~Jane~~ Railroad (EUUS)''' (~~Mini~~[[Miniature ~~Railroad~~Railway]]) :Excitement Rating: 5.06 (Medium) :Intensity Rating: 0.32 (Low) Line 56 ⟶ 66: :Initial Pricing: $2.50 '''Shortstuff's Slide''' ([[Spiral Slide]]) :Excitement Rating: 2.18 (Low) :Intensity Rating: 1.60 (Low) :Nausea Rating: 1.15 (Low) :Initial Pricing: $1.00 :Mode: Infinite rides per admittance '''Snake River Falls''' ([[Log Flume]]) :Excitement Rating: 6.08 (High) :Intensity Rating: 2.53 (Low) Line 70 ⟶ 80: ==Scenario guide== You can read the scenario guide [[Diamond Heights/Scenario Guide\|here]]. ~~{{sgreminder}}~~ One of the biggest problems with Diamond Heights is the accessibility to the left unused part of land, after the park entrance. You should build your park expansion there, but it's very difficult to access it other than creating a large bridge from the Shortstuff's Slide ride, and a train stop on the Railroad. The first thing that you should do is focus all Research & Development funds to shops and stalls at first so you can get a [[Drink Stall]]. Then, switch it to Thrill Rides and Gentle Rides. This will allow you to build future attractions, such as [[Go-Karts\|go-karts]] and [[Dingy Slide\|water slides]] before the end of Year 3. Then build some shops and stalls, as the park lacks them. You should then, and only then, diversify the variety of rides in the park.. =={{Attractions 2D}}== While the four roller coasters in Diamond Heights are probably more than enough to satisfy the needs of the guests, you may need to build a fifth roller coaster in order to reach the objective, although this should only be done as a last resort. Shortstuff's Slide may need to be changed to single ride per admission mode, as some guests may ride again and again while complaining about being on the ride too long, and make people in queue wait longer. Even though this will lower the excitement rating, it's an easy choice to do. You can also increase the ride's capacity by allowing 5 riders on it instead of 4. ==={{Transport Rides 2D}}=== Make sure you lower the inspection time of both of the dueling roller coasters named Claustrophobia and Agoraphobia to 10 minutes. This is due to the fact that both these rollercoasters can [[Crash\|crash]] due to a station brakes failure, which mostly occurs in either the second or third years. Place two mechanics patrolling at the exits of both rides is a very good prevention method for these crashes. An alternative is to reducing both coasters' train count to one and their car count to eight, which will increase the excitement rating yet lower the rides' capacities and therefore benefits. This choice is harder to do than Shortstuff's Slide, but you can do it. Inserting brakes set below 45 km/h (28 mph) or reediting the tracks in order to incorporate a brakes line, might also prove useful. ====Available==== <div class="ridebox-list"> {{Ridebox2D\|Steam Trains\|RCT1}} </div> ====Researched==== Once all this is done, the scenario's quite easy to complete : build new rides & rebuild the non-tracked ones from scratch to rebuff the park's value, (try rebuiling the splash or the ''Agoraphobia'' if you want a good challenge) , build a brand new coaster if you haven't met the requirements at June 31st of the final year, and you should make it. <div class="ridebox-list"> {{Ridebox2D\|Small Monorail Cars\|RCT1}} {{Ridebox2D\|Streamlined Monorail Trains\|RCT2}} {{Ridebox2D\|Chairlift Cars\|RCT1}} </div> ==={{Gentle Rides 2D}}=== ~~[[File:DiamondHeightsFinished.png\|thumb\|324px\|Diamond Heights -

Its design is almost the same as the original but its spiral lift hill isn’t as tall, it only goes up 15 meters. The track features an additional helix element. Now the ride operates trains with just two cars per train. The list of available and researched rides has also been upgraded. ~~===Available scenery===~~ [[Trees]] [[Shrubs and Bushes]] [[Tropical and Desert Trees]] [[Gardens]] [[Path Items]] [[Walls and Fences]] [[Statues and Fountains]] ===~~Researched~~=Additional rides and scenery available==== <div class="ridebox-list"> [[Jumping Fountains]] {{Ridebox2D\|Steam Trains with Covered Cars\|RCT2}} [[Classical/Roman Theming]] {{Ridebox2D\|Spiral Roller Coaster\|RCT2}} [[Mine Theming]] </div> <div class="ridebox-list"> {{Scenerybox2D\|Water Feature Themeing}} </div> ====Additional rides and scenery researched==== <div class="ridebox-list"> {{Ridebox2D\|Ski-lift Chairs\|RCT2}} {{Ridebox2D\|Retro-style Monorail Trains\|RCT2}} {{Ridebox2D\|Articulated Roller Coaster\|RCT1}} {{Ridebox2D\|Automobile Cars\|RCT2}} {{Ridebox2D\|Toboggan Cars\|RCT2}} {{Ridebox2D\|Hot Dog Stall\|RCT1}} {{Ridebox2D\|Candy Apple Stall\|RCT1}} </div> The Spinning roller coaster trains are not available in RCT Classic This park has got the [[Compact Inverted Coaster]] available for research instead of the Inverted Coaster. It features the same 2-seater cars as the Inverted Coaster of vanilla RCT1. ==Other notes== This is the first scenario seen on the ~~intro~~title ~~screen~~sequence ifof novanilla ~~expansions are installed~~RCT1. Even with both ofadd-on ~~them~~packs installed, Diamond Heights still has the most amount of camera shots (seven shots). Diamond Heights is one of the three parks that were included in the ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' demo, ~~with~~ the other two being [[Forest Frontiers]] and [[Evergreen Gardens]]. As stated on the original [https://web.archive.org/web/20010709133538/http://www.rollercoastertycoon.com/test/index2.html. Rollercoaster Tycoon website], the rides in Diamond Heights are named after characters from a children's play, "Indiana Jane & The Doppelganger Diamond", which was written by Chris Sawyer in 1997. *This park appears to contain references to Indiana Jones, as well as parodies of themes and characters. ~~==Completed Parks==~~ ~~<gallery>~~ ~~SCR4.png~~ ~~</gallery>~~ {{Succession\|Leafy Lake\|RollerCoaster Tycoon\|Evergreen Gardens}} {{RollerCoaster Tycoon Scenarios}} [[Category:Scenario]] [[Category:RollerCoaster Tycoon Scenario]] [[Category:Graphite Group Scenarios]] [[Category:Pre-Built Parks]] [[Category:Park Value at Given Date Objective]]
