It is almost certain that during the course of running your park, you will come to a point where you either run into the red or do not have sufficient funds to complete a task, such as build a ride, path or piece of scenery, etc. When this happens, you may find yourself borrowing money from the bank through the 'loan' option in the financial summary window. Most parks already have a loan, the typical one being $10,000. You may choose to borrow more money, and when you can afford it, pay it back. You can borrow money in $1,000 increments. |
