You should have a little breathing room now, but you still need to tend to your guests' needs before you can start working on rides. Build several food stalls, drink stalls, and bathrooms throughout the park. Place benches near the exits of the park's roller coasters to accommodate sick guests, and build [[Information Kiosk]]s to provide your guests with maps and umbrellas.


After you have covered the basics, some of the rides need fixing. Shorten any ride that takes over 3 minutes and shorten the [[queue lines]], or alternatively, add a second station. The [[Go Karts]] should be set to "Continuous Circuit Mode" to reduce the duration. Check the settings of your rides, as some have very long waiting times between the cars, which causes unnecessary queues.[[File:Megaworld_Park_finished.png|thumb|Scenario finished by [[User:Sucinum|Sucinum]].]]
Now that you have covered the basics and bought some time, you can start fixing, replacing, and adding rides in the park. Examine every ride and set its inspection interval at 10 minutes.

Consider demolishing and replacing both Viper and Purple Peril, but follow the tips below should you wish to keep them.
The [[Steel Corkscrew Roller Coaster]], Viper, in the desert area to the right of the entrance also has too high an intensity rating, which has to be fixed by flattening the track a bit, banking whatever can be banked, and removing an inversion or two. Be sure to add a brake line near the end to reduce the chance of Station Brake Failure [[crash]]es. The excitement rating can rise to about 8 even with minor edits.


The roller coaster in the desert area, Viper, has too high of an intensity rating. You can fix the problem by flattening hills and removing some inversions; the cobra roll before the second to last helix section is an obvious candidate because it can be replaced with a small banked right curve. The ride's excitement rating can rise to about 8 with only minor edits, so you do not need to spend a long time tweaking it.
You should also edit the [[Inverted Roller Coaster]], Purple Peril, by removing some inversions, decreasing the nausea rating significantly even though it will remain relatively high. Consider demolishing and replacing both of them as another option. The [[Steel Mini Roller Coaster]], Spinner, will be far less nauseating if you replace spinning cars by non-spinning ones, although the name would be rendered meaningless. You can also remove this ride and replace it by another one you might research.


As with Viper, you may edit Purple Peril by removing some inversions. This will decrease its nausea rating, although the rating will remain high; be sure to put a handyman on patrol and some benches on the exit path.
While you are busy repairing, the park rating will recover steadily and finally, guests will start streaming in your park. You will not need many more rides, but still, squeeze in what you research.


Like Purple Peril, Spinner has a high nausea rating. You will need to remove the ride or edit it considerably. ​You can make it less nauseating by replacing the spinning cars with non-spinning ones, although you would render its name meaningless and reduce its excitement rating in doing so. Failing that, demolish the ride and build a new coaster in its place.
Good options would include replacing the Viper Coaster by a smoother design, like a [[Steel Twister Roller Coaster]]. Another idea is to delete the [[Steel Mini Coaster|Steel Mini Roller Coaster]] in the mountains on the far-right corner, and use the station of this ride to place an [[Air-Powered Vertical Coaster]].


Batflyer is prone to stalling at the bases of its lift hills in the event of [[Ride breakdowns|safety cut-out]] breakdowns. You may reduce the ride's vehicle count and increase its minimum wait time to prevent vehicles from piling up, or you may run the vehicles as 2 car trains. Either strategy will work. You may also rework its layout or demolish it.
A third idea is to replace the "Thunder Mountain" Mine TRain ride in the same sector, and replace it with any newer coaster of your creation.


Vampire is mostly safe, but it can experience crashes following the [[Ride breakdowns|restraints stuck closed]] breakdown. If a train enters the station and experiences this breakdown before the other has left, the other train will not be able to re-enter the station until the broken down train is fixed. If the repair is not completed in time, the other train will ricochet off the one in the station and get stuck on the track, where it will eventually be crashed into. This can be addressed by removing the upward helix before the final curve and adding a chain lift to the crest of the last hill.

Although it is safe, Rotting Lumber may be a candidate for demolition since it takes up a lot of valuable flat space you could instead use for several smaller coasters and flat rides. You may demolish the nearby swinging inverter ship, as well, to increase the available space further, but remember those steps are not necessary. Both rides are okay as they are unless you decide otherwise.
*Replace the Viper Coaster by a smoother design, like a [[Hyper Coaster]],  a [[Giga Coaster]], or a [[Steel Twister Roller Coaster]]. If you keep the replacement coaster short enough, you can squeeze a [[Vertical Drop Coaster|Vertical]] Coaster towards the Batty Bikers ride and as such multiply the thrills.

*Remove at least two inversions on the Purple Peril rollercoaster. The ride's intensity must go below 9. Consider removing the whole coaster and building a new one instead if you prefer.
While you are busy working, your park rating will recover steadily and guests will eventually start streaming in. It is not unreasonable for you to expect to reach your goal in the third year if you work diligently. You will not need many more rides, but you should still squeeze in a few.
*Expand the stations of the Monorail Shuttle on the bottom-left corner of the map, to increase it's capacity.

*On the same ride, try to remove any unnecessary incline and curve, and try to keep the ride as flat as possible, in order to increase the trains speed, and therefore, the ride's efficiency through guest capacity.
==If you play it on RCT2 or Classic==
*Bank the curves of the Wooden and Steel Looping Roller Coasters wherever applicable, to decrease their intensity ratings.

*If you feel like building a [[Giga Coaster|Giga]], [[Hypercoaster|Hyper]] or [[Hyper-Twister Roller Coaster|Hyper-Twister coaster]], don't try to create ultra-tall heights : you'll waste more time than needed. A couple 40m falls above ground and a few knots below, are more than enough for the same profits.
*In the beginning, focus mostly on fixing the park's rides. Unlike in RCT1, your park starts with a rating over 800 and is thus in no immediate danger of being shut down, but many of your rides are at risk of experiencing crashes as early as April of the first year.
*Consider demolishing one of the two wooden coasters, to replace it by a ride you might research. I'd suggest you to demolish the Cyclone, which is prone to station brakes failure. However, avoid the [[Side-Friction Coaster]], which is unable to have steep hills.
*Increase the number of vehicles on Raging Rapids, the log flume, the car rides, and the transport rides. Replace the train on the Monorail Shuttle with one of a different type or lengthen it to 6 cars.
*If you try to create a Wooden Wild Mine Ride in the Mine Sector, remember to keep it short and with a short queue, as this ride has a very small guest capacity and will lead to insanely long waiting times if it's too long.
*Consider demolishing Viper and Purple Peril. If you decide to keep them, remove at least two inversions from each and add block brakes. You must get their intensity ratings below 10. Extend the queue path for Purple Peril so that at least the equivalent of one full train (28 passengers; less if you use shorter trains) can queue for the ride at any time.
*Make Skidder (equivalent of Spinner in RCT1) safe by replacing its final track piece before the station with a block brake. Switch the operating mode from block sectioned mode back to continuous circuit mode, switch the desired load from "any" to "full", reduce the minimum wait time, and consider relocating the entrance to the front of the station to facilitate loading.

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.

First, PAUSE THE GAME. Hire a large number of handymen and assign them where necessary. Following that, remove or replace vandalized path items and build "No Entry" signs on dead end ride exit paths to prevent guests from getting lost. You must do this to raise your park rating above 700 and thus save the park from being shut down at the end of April.

You should have a little breathing room now, but you still need to tend to your guests' needs before you can start working on rides. Build several food stalls, drink stalls, and bathrooms throughout the park. Place benches near the exits of the park's roller coasters to accommodate sick guests, and build Information Kiosks to provide your guests with maps and umbrellas.

Now that you have covered the basics and bought some time, you can start fixing, replacing, and adding rides in the park. Examine every ride and set its inspection interval at 10 minutes. Shorten the queue paths of all rides longer than 3 minutes. Lengthen the queue paths of several of your roller coasters including Vampire, Thunderlooper, and Runaway Mine Train.

Consider demolishing and replacing both Viper and Purple Peril, but follow the tips below should you wish to keep them.

The roller coaster in the desert area, Viper, has too high of an intensity rating. You can fix the problem by flattening hills and removing some inversions; the cobra roll before the second to last helix section is an obvious candidate because it can be replaced with a small banked right curve. The ride's excitement rating can rise to about 8 with only minor edits, so you do not need to spend a long time tweaking it.

As with Viper, you may edit Purple Peril by removing some inversions. This will decrease its nausea rating, although the rating will remain high; be sure to put a handyman on patrol and some benches on the exit path.

Like Purple Peril, Spinner has a high nausea rating. You will need to remove the ride or edit it considerably. ​You can make it less nauseating by replacing the spinning cars with non-spinning ones, although you would render its name meaningless and reduce its excitement rating in doing so. Failing that, demolish the ride and build a new coaster in its place.

Batflyer is prone to stalling at the bases of its lift hills in the event of safety cut-out breakdowns. You may reduce the ride's vehicle count and increase its minimum wait time to prevent vehicles from piling up, or you may run the vehicles as 2 car trains. Either strategy will work. You may also rework its layout or demolish it.

Vampire is mostly safe, but it can experience crashes following the restraints stuck closed breakdown. If a train enters the station and experiences this breakdown before the other has left, the other train will not be able to re-enter the station until the broken down train is fixed. If the repair is not completed in time, the other train will ricochet off the one in the station and get stuck on the track, where it will eventually be crashed into. This can be addressed by removing the upward helix before the final curve and adding a chain lift to the crest of the last hill.

Although it is safe, Rotting Lumber may be a candidate for demolition since it takes up a lot of valuable flat space you could instead use for several smaller coasters and flat rides. You may demolish the nearby swinging inverter ship, as well, to increase the available space further, but remember those steps are not necessary. Both rides are okay as they are unless you decide otherwise.

While you are busy working, your park rating will recover steadily and guests will eventually start streaming in. It is not unreasonable for you to expect to reach your goal in the third year if you work diligently. You will not need many more rides, but you should still squeeze in a few.

If you play it on RCT2 or Classic

Several good options to this scenario if you play it on RCT2 or Classic:

  • In the beginning, focus mostly on fixing the park's rides. Unlike in RCT1, your park starts with a rating over 800 and is thus in no immediate danger of being shut down, but many of your rides are at risk of experiencing crashes as early as April of the first year.
  • Increase the number of vehicles on Raging Rapids, the log flume, the car rides, and the transport rides. Replace the train on the Monorail Shuttle with one of a different type or lengthen it to 6 cars.
  • Consider demolishing Viper and Purple Peril. If you decide to keep them, remove at least two inversions from each and add block brakes. You must get their intensity ratings below 10. Extend the queue path for Purple Peril so that at least the equivalent of one full train (28 passengers; less if you use shorter trains) can queue for the ride at any time.
  • Make Skidder (equivalent of Spinner in RCT1) safe by replacing its final track piece before the station with a block brake. Switch the operating mode from block sectioned mode back to continuous circuit mode, switch the desired load from "any" to "full", reduce the minimum wait time, and consider relocating the entrance to the front of the station to facilitate loading.
