Rainbow Valley

Overview

Rainbow Valley's local authority won't allow any landscape changes or large tree removal, but you must develop the area into a large theme park.

The park itself is located along a river, long but not very wide. The terrain is hilly, and there are a lot of trees. As the description already made clear, the player is not allowed to remove any scenery (including trees) or raise/lower the land or water level. Therfore, the space available to build is very limited. There are a few small cliffs available for building underground.

If you set your research to $400 for the whole game, you will finish all research in October, Year 4.

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.

Take advantage of rock faces to build underground rollercoasters and save space. Only add scenery if you are confident that it won't disrupt the construction; once you add scenery, you can't get it off. Take advantage of the valley formation.

Pre-built ride designs are very helpful in this scenario as they can be constructed in mid-air and as they have a average intensity. You might consider building your tracked rides on the river, saving the little space available on land for your standard sized rides. 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. Underground pathways can help in some situations.
