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.

Despite what the description might imply, the Rain Forest Plateau offers not so much challenge as the plateau yields more than enough space for players to build parks that reach a value of $275,000 by the end of Year 4.

Research is straightforward, as it's very possible to get all rides available before the scenario's deadline, but the Observation Tower, along with the Ferris Wheel, Enterprise, and Coffee Cups, offers an interest for the wisest players to check Gentle Rides first. As there's plenty of Roller Coasters already available, this research option can safely be ticked off.

A simple start would imply an Information Kiosk and the 4 Gentle/Thrill rides available. Space isn't a problem at this point, if not for the guests themselves : building a path through the rock towards the rides, can prove a solid idea. A shuttled Looping Roller Coaster will work just great for a first foray into the Roller Coaster territory.

Despite even the best players' most effective money drains working full-time at emptying the guests' wallets, it's going to be hard making money here on the plateau : This is because there is a $10,000 loan, and a 30% interest rate on it ! All players must make repaying this loan back as soon as possible, since it will severely impact park's development. Money will stop being a problem when this immense loan interest will be cut. Since the Burger Bar is the first researched Shops and Stalls, players might consider this research option, if they want more food).

Players must remember that the scenario's goal is park value, not people, so they should not bother trying to cram as many guests as possible in. The faster they build, the less each ride is worth by october Year 4, so going build-crazy is not a good plan. In order to get the money for massive constructions in order to boost the park value, people should consider the Log Flume, River Rapids, Splash Boats, or Go Karts, all of which are cost-effective money makers. In Years 3 & 4, a new roller coaster or two should get players the park value rating they need.

-Despite what the description might say, this is a fairly easy scenario as the plateau has more than enough space for you to build a park that reaches a value of $275,000 by the end of Year 4.

-Research is straightforward, as you can get everything researched before your time is up, but I would recommend doing Gentle Rides first as it gives you the Observation Tower which is the last of the non-tracked rides you can build, to go with the Ferris Wheel, Enterprise, and Coffee Cups. There's plenty of Roller Coasters already available, so don't go rushing to research them.

-Start with an Information Kiosk and the 4 Gentle/Thrill rides. Don't feel like you have to save space by building a path through the rock to your rides. Just use the one given to you at the start and build across the top of the plateau in the open. Add in a roller coaster or two and if you keep them short and simple (a shuttled Looping Roller Coaster works just great) they will not cost much and give you a hefty profit. You'll notice that although the coasters are making money, you won't seem to be gaining any. This is because there is a $10,000 loan taking out and a 30% interest rate! Be sure to pay this back as soon as you have a small park established, and from then on, money will never be a problem. Then, put in your stalls and your park can run itself for a year or more if you want (a Burger Bar is the first research item for Shops and Stalls if you want more food).
