The Miniature Railroad is typically the only transportation option available at the start of a scenario. Attaining a speed of 9 mph on flat track, it beats the [[Chairlift]] (due to the increased speed on downward slopes) but loses to the [[Monorail]]. Thus, the Monorail is usually a better option.The Miniature Railroad is also the only transport ride requiring a full circuit; the Monorail can use the "Shuttle mode" operating option, and this is the only option for the Chairlift. The speed of the trains on upwards hills is 2 mph, so try to keep the track design as level as possible. |
