Overview

The previous owner was obsessed with insects - as you can see from the anthill of a park he built. Problems swarmed around the place until the bank swatted him out business. Now you've got this park, and his debts! You'll have to be a busy bee to be successfull.

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.

This isn’t a too difficult scenario. The 19.9% loan interest stings a bit, but luckily the interest rates will drop later. You could try to repay the loan but it’s not required.

Start with building some flat rides. Especially thrill rides, but junior and gentle rides will be useful too. Price them. You usually can ask the double or at least the 150% of the default price, this will give you a nice monthly ride income which is a required objective anyway. Build some food, drink, souvenir stalls too. You can get a little more extra profit by building a few billboards too. If you have enough money, try building a coaster as well. I built a custom Giga Coaster with Power launch - because it has the Scarab themed cars too which quite fits the insect theme of the park - but any coasters should be fine as long as they have high enough excitement rate so you could ask for a nice ticket price for it.

The visitors to animal viewing galleries objective looks scary at first, however you don’t need to have the required amount of guests on the viewing galleries the same time, rather, that is just about how many guests visited your viewing galleries in total, so it’s a ridiculously easy objective, it only requires a little time. I built a relatively small wooden fence enclosure with 3 viewing galleries, a small herbivore house and 4 ostriches (2 female, 2 male), later built another enclosure with a grizzly, but could win the objective with the ostriches’ enclosure’ viewing galleries only.

The guest in park objective shouldn’t be a problem if you have enough - and a nice variety of - rides and shops and keep the park relatively clean.

One more thing to note: An important lesson you can learn here regarding the whole Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is the “art of 2 tile slope, then underground path then 2 tile slope” (or we could call it “underground corridor” too or something) you can see at the path leading to the observation tower and the other side of the gap. It’s an incomparably more cost-efficient way to connect two (or more) places when there is no direct route, than building elevated paths to connect them, because the ridiculously high cost of the pylons will eat up all your money. A wise idea to use this kind of underground corridor in other maps too when you have to connect two places with no direct route.
