== Strategy ==
This'''Rainbow Valley''' is probably the hardest scenario in [[RCT|the original game, ]]with '''[[MothballMystic Mountain]]''' as a close opponent. The objective is simple, and the same as '''[[Evergreen Gardens]]''' or '''[[Pacific Pyramids]]''', so, at this point of the game, getting 1,000 guests in 4 years should not be a major problem. The main and great difficulty here is the actual building of your parkterrain, as you can't remove any treestree (or major scenery objects you eventually decideplaced) toremoval place)is plainly forbidden, adjustas long as land or water adjustment. This scenario is similar to '''[[Harmonic Hills]]''' in the [[Corkscrew Follies]] expansion, though '''Rainbow Valley '''should be way less difficult.
TakeThe key here is for players to take advantage of rock vertical faces that there are exposed throughout the valley extension (as underground building is still allowed) to build underground roller coasters and tracked rides, and therefore save vital space overground. OnlyPlayers should only add scenery if you arethey're confident thatin it won'tnot disruptdisruptive thefor future construction ; once youscenery addis sceneryplaced, youit can'tcannot getbe ittaken off. Take advantage of the valley formation. The terrain is quite hilly and youvery won'tlittle find manyavailable flat areasland will be available besides the narrow river. Because of that and the main aspect of this scenario, it wouldn't be a surprise if your pathways and even yourtrack trackslayouts get a little clumsy and inconvenient, but it's very important for players to do yourtheir best to keep a good infrastructure. : if guests get lost, they will want never to come back.
If youResearch set you research at maximum funding, at March 1st Year 1, will be complete by October, Year 4,. you'llThat havemeans gotthe player will have everything the research can offer in this park. At the beginning, you have a decent amount of good coasters are available, someespecially ofthe them[[Steel beingMini theRoller Coaster|Steel Mini]] and the [[Wooden Wild Mouse|Wooden Crazy Rodent]] which are excelentexcellent to start off with, as they are very cheap and compact, making your job of building around the trees and terrain much easier. The only alternative is the Shuttle Coaster, which might be needed at start as always for quick money leverage.
Roller coasters should be built taller than trees of course, bringing them to ground level only at the station. Another thing to note is that even if a ride fits somewhere, the pathway to it may not. Therefore, players in RCT1 should check for pathway room immediately before building a roller coaster, and do so very carefully. Players in [[RCT2]]/[[OpenRCT2]] can shift the initial rail up, allowing them to escape this task.
You might consider building your tracked rides mostly on the river, saving the little space available on land for your standard sized rides, but it shouldn't be a rule of thumb. Consider making roller coasters taller to avoid trees, bringing them to ground level only at the station. Another thing to note is that even if you can fit a ride somewhere, you have to make sure you can build a pathway there.
Attracting 1,000 guests over the 4 years of the scenario is not too difficult by itself — the real challenge is constructing the park itself. PlanPlayers must think their riderides designs ahead of time and, if youfor need the assurancesafety, save yourtheir game before building any large attractionsattraction. The park doesn't seem to be big but you'll find out it's pretty larger than necessary. BuildBy building the park up and attract guests slowly and methodically, and youplayers will eventually succeed. Ifwithout reallyhaving needed, you canto resort to marketing campaigns.
