Diamond Heights is already a successful theme park with great rides - develop it to double its value.
''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 Brakes Failure. Still, this scenario should pose few problems.

One of the biggest problems with Diamond Heights is its uneven terrain and huge bodies of water, which makes virtually any form of construction a little more costly. The first thing that you should probably do is build some shops and stalls as the guests are probably hungry. You should then diversify the variety of rides in the park. You might also want to focus all Research & Development funds at first to shops and stalls so you can get something that sells drinks. Then you can switch it to Thrill Rides and Gentle Rides. This will allow you to build future attractions, such as [[Go-Kart]]s and [[Water Slide]]s, before the end of Year 3. 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.
====Available====
Also, 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 by having the "Station Brakes Failure" breakdown, and will most likely occur in either your 2nd or 3rd year. It is strongly suggested that you place two mechanics patrolled at the exits of both rides to ensure these rides do not crash and kill your guests! Just in case it does happen, save often and reload your saved game, just before the ride crashed.
The Steel mini roller coaster ''Arachnaphobia'' has been replaced by a [[Spiral Roller Coaster]] with the same name.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.

==Other notes==
*This is the first scenario seen on the title sequence of vanilla RCT1. Even with both add-on packs installed, Diamond Heights still has the most amount of camera shots (seven shots).
*Water Tricycles ([[Boat Hire]])
*Diamond Heights is one of the three parks that were included in the ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' demo, the other two being [[Forest Frontiers]] and [[Evergreen Gardens]].
*Spinning Cars ([[Steel Mini Roller Coaster]])
*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.
