== Overview ==
''Diamond Heights is already a successful theme park with great rides - develop it to double its value.''
 
'''Diamond Heights''' is the first of only a few scenarios with a [[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 BreaksBrakes Failure. Still, this scenario should pose few problems.

==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 roller coasters 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.
 
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 rebuilding 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 year 3, and you should make it.

==RCT Classic edition==
The Steel mini roller coaster ''Arachnaphobia'' has been replaced by a [[Spiral Roller Coaster]] with the same name. 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.

*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 introtitle screensequence ifof novanilla expansions are installedRCT1. Even with both ofadd-on thempacks 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.
