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.

Start off by building a few flat rides to bring in some money. You shouldn't invest in either of the five coasters yet until you have some money coming in. Set research to Thrill and Gentle rides, plus shops and stalls at maximum funding. You should build three thrill rides (make sure they're not too intense, keep it below 8), and 3 gentle rides. This will attract some guests and give your park some money to scrape by. Plan out your pathways by connecting queues and pathways to Roller Coasters 1, 2, and 3; mainly due to RC2 crossing over the paths and it allows you to build flat rides inbetween the roller coasters.

Once you're ready, build the hyper-twister coaster. As long as you don't go overboard on G-Forces the ride should easily make the excitement requirement. On great way to give the ride a small footprint and little impact on other rides is by making it go above and below ground and have it intersect itself, this'll also help the excitement rating. Set the admission price to $6.00 (if you go higher the guest will waste money faster and just wander around, get angry and vandalize your park). Let the ride run its course and hire a personal mechanic (give him assigned space directly at the exit) if the train is going faster than 28 mph into the station (that's the magic number for crashes on all roller coasters). The ride should attract a lot of guests and give you more money. Save up a bit and finish the vertical coaster next.

Give the ride the vertical brake element for the first drop, which builds excitement, and have it drop into the ground (possible without any landscaping if you have the track in the right spot). Have the ride transfer above and below ground to build more excitement. When you plan to finish the ride have the track end at height 6 and use a vertical brake element to stop the ride (this prevents deaths in case of the infamous Station Brake Failure!!!) the finish the ride up safely. This ride easily has a 6 excitement rating with just a vertical drop so with the added stuff it should easily be 7.5. Charge $6 for it (see the theme yet?), this will give you much profit. By the time you are finished with the second roller coaster you should have a bunch of flat rides to choose from.

Build some more flat rides around the park (try to keep them away from the inverted coaster, because it's recommended you build it next). You can expand your paths to the flyer and the woodie but break them so the employees don't wander and your guests don't get lost. The invert will need some boosts in excitement because they are easy to build too intense. Have the ride cross over some paths and itself to build excitement. Avoid building large loops and keep the G-Forces as low as possible (below 4 Vertical and 2.5 Lateral atleast) and you should be golden. Hire a personal mechanic for the ride because most likely the ride is going faster than 30 mph and might crash in the future. Set price to $6.00.

Tick rollercoasters in your research because you'll most likely be out of research for thrill and gentle rides soon, expand with the latter two a bit to make some more money. You can build a normal coaster if you want to make some more money at this point, it'll only help you in the long run, just avoid the one's that cost more than $3,000.

Now finish up the wooden coaster. With a little bit of landscaping you should be able to have the first drop go through the helix of the woodie; this will help excitement. Give the ride some twists and hills, a helix and have it cross over and under itself before connecting the whole thing to the last two helixes. You might not need a personal mechanic for this coaster because the last two helixes burn off some speed and the ride shouldn't be going faster than 30 into the helixes. The Flyer will be the toughest to build, but as long as you avoid high G's and too many inversions you should easily have it hit 7, even 8. You don't have to open the ride in order to complete the objective, it just has to be testing and recieve atleast a 7 in excitement and you're done.

This works with all the other coaster building challenges in the game.... (pictures coming soon)

Other Notes

Roller coaster 5 is extremly easy. Do not lengthen the lift hill! Then make a vertical drop, then make a vertical hill until it gets above ground and drop it again. Now a banked U-turn (mid-sized turns) and up 6 "humps" (up then down) and another banked U-turn and add 2 more Humps.
