Haunted Harbour

Revision as of 15:58, 9 May 2012 by 79.227.149.230 (talk) (This is not a rainy scenario. Also a small entry fee is always a bad idea.)

Overview

The local authority has agreed to sell nearby land cheaply to this small seaside park, on the condition that certain rides are preserved.

A small seaside park with a few rides and shops. You're allowed to buy nearby land for $25 and construction rights for $20. However the local authorities forbid the demolition or editing of two rides, Woodpecker and Ghost Train. The land which can be bought has a lot of trees on it, and there are a lot of hills, making it difficult to use. It is best used for tracked rides, as they can be built partially (or completely) underground, boosting the excitement rating and attracting guests during the rain.

Most roller coasters available during the scenario are made of wood, adding to the "vintage" atmosphere of the park. There are no suspended roller coasters, and the available steel roller coasters can also be considered "old-school".

Haunted Harbor - finished

Fill up the remaining places on the grass with some flat rides, add benches and litter bins and build an information kiosk. Remove the flowers and unnecessary paths for extra space and money. Also, put research on maximum and tick thrill rides, gentle rides and roller coasters. Then fill the beach with some tracked rides and cram as much as possible in there. A Wooden Crazy Rodent Roller Coaster would be a good choice, as it doesn't need much space and is relatively cheap.

The two rides that must be preserved are increadibly old and are prone to breaking down. Ghost Train is 35 years old, with Woodpecker topping an astonishing 68 years. Both rides have high downtime due to constant breakdowns, however the Woodpecker is always at risk of a crash due to a breaks failure and the high speed at which cars enter the station. Setting the ride to only have one train as soon as the level starts is the best course of action.

Once you have repaid your loan and filled up all the space, start expanding your park slowly, building more roller coasters to attract guests. The hills around the park are a good spot to build rides partially underground to increase the excitement rating. It might be necessary to set research to Roller Coasters only for a short period of time. You can also start advertising near the end if you need some more guests.

  • Easter Egg: In one corner of the map you can buy land that forms CS, after the developer, Chris Sawyer
  • If you have the expansion packs installed, this will be the first park you'll see on the intro screen.
