===The Umbrella Cheat===
===Umbrella Exploit===
The umbrella cheat is an exploit allowing to press guests to pay a lot of money for umbrellas. The price of umbrellas can be raised at up to $20 when it rains at the park, and guests will buy them anyway. However, during dry conditions the guests will refuse to buy umbrellas. Some scenarios set in arid settings, such as [[Dynamite Dunes]] or [[Pacific Pyramids]], rarely have any rain. Because of this, umbrellas should not be sold at over $5, with $4.50 being considered reasonable by guests.
The umbrella exploit is an exploitation of ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'''s guest AI, which causes guests to always purchase umbrellas at their maximum sell price ($20). Whenever it rains, guests will ignore the pricing of umbrellas and will buy them from any Information Kiosk or [[Souvenir Stall]]. As a downside, guests will not buy umbrellas priced above $5 whenever it is not raining—scenarios with a hot and dry climate, such as [[Dynamite Dunes]] or [[Ayers Rock]], will almost never experience rain, limiting the usefulness of this exploit.

Although they will never be used, umbrellas are considered a souvenir by guests and they will still buy them. [[Souvenir Stall|Souvenir Stalls]] also sell umbrellas and you will want a few Souvenir Stallss scattered in your park also. The prices must be raised in RCT 3, as the default price is the cost price in some scenarios.
