Introducing the "ice" setting, Iceberg Islands contains five large icebergs, with two already displaying a Bobsled Roller Coaster, a Mini Golf course, and a Chairlift. You may expand to the other three islands, although that is not necessary, and is rather costly.

First of all, every ride is free!! That Bobsled could bring in a hefty profit, so be sure to price all the pre-existing rides. Place your shops and stalls, hire some staff, and place a few flat rides, like the 3D Cinema and Spiral Slide. This might be difficult, as the islands are oddly-shaped with lofty, haphazard ridges and open cliffs. Landscaping and Ride Placement will unfortunately be irritating and expensive, and your path system may get very jumbled and confusing.

Financially, this park is actually quite difficult. Frequent rain stunts ride ticket income, and landscaping will spike your spending. Try not to get too extravagant, and build rides that bring in decent income. Very quickly, research should send you a Steel Wild Mouse Roller Coaster, which is an ideal ride to build on the second island. Underground sections will boost excitement significantly, which will allow higher ride pricing.

All in all, keep a green arrow next to your guest count, and remember to build your park around your finances. For the experienced Tycoon, this park can be passed with little thought.
