(Both guides can be expanded considerably, but I can't work on them right now. Also, the normal way is not that hard, but just rather drawn-out; would prefer players to do it normally first.)

First of all, open the park and allow guests into the area surrounding the entrance only. Next, open the monorail and hire at least two Mechanics so that they will fix the 2 broken rides (after which they will set about inspecting the other rides). Then, rebuild the missing sections of the mini coaster. Once all that is done, connect the front of the park to the rest of it, hire handymen to clean up the litter and open up all the rides, shops and stalls. Start rebuilding the paths slowly with the exception of the pathway ringing the park on the raised ground—your guests have a tendency to get lost in there.
When you first enter the park it is derelict and also closed with the entrance fee at $9.00 which many guests will complain is too high. The entrance is in the "better" side of the park which has neat paths and colorful rides, this section of the park is also ready to open right away.


Build new rides and attractions once they are available so that more guests will enter your park. If you want to speed things up a little, you can also demolish all the food & drink stalls and restrooms so that your guests will leave the park faster, making way for new guests to enter. You can also take the drastic action of closing the park down once in a while to wait for a large portion of your guests to leave before reopening the park for new guests to enter. Repeat this process until you reach the objective.
As you explore the map you will notice that about half of the park is separated by a chain link fence, splitting the park in two. You will notice that beyond the chain link fence that separates the park there are closed rides and littered paths, the flowers are dead, the scenery is brown, the roller coasters have missing parts, benches are broken and most paths are incomplete. Obviously this is where the most work needs to be done.

First of all open the park and allow guests in to the area surrounding the entrance only. Then you should open the monorail and rebuild the missing links in the roller coasters, after this you should remove the scenery blocking paths and hire handy men to clear up the litter and then rebuild the paths. Once this has been done open this part to the guests you can then open the shops and stalls whilst also opening the other rides, keep adding more rides and letting the income from you entrance fee. Keep your profits up and you should complete the scenario in 2 to 3 years.
If you want, you can also replace the brown scenery found in the abandoned park with the colorful scenery found in the better part of the park so it matches but then again you don't have to as it can drain you cash and is also very time consuming.

First things first: set research to No Funding. Even without any research, you can still complete the objective with whatever existing rides are already available to you.
An alternative method, however, turns this from difficult to ridiculously easy. First, demolish all the rides, restrooms, kiosks, and stalls. Pay back your loan with this money - as quick as possible, so you remove that drain on your money.

Demolish all the rides, shops and stalls. The amount you get from demolishing them will be enough to pay off your entire loan, so repay your loan immediately.

Next, go through the entire park and demolish every scenery object that gives you money. Since you have no rides, no stalls, no loan and no staff to maintain, you have all the time in the world to slowly go through every last tile in your park and pick off all the scenery that adds money. Apart from the Kremlin-ish domes and towers, the entire park is strewn with lots of ruined statues, wheels and junks. In addition, the massive path layout in this park works in your favour here as you get $10 for each path tile you demolish. However, you will still want to keep enough path tiles to make a full circle around the entire park and a straight path from the front to the back of the entrance to facilitate guest movement and ride construction. You'll most likely spend the rest of Year 1 rooting the park for scenery and you should have about $46,000 in cash by the time you're done.

With this $46,000 that you obtained from destroying the scenery, you have all the money you need to complete this scenario if you spend all of it building rides, and rides ''only''.


Begin your building spree by building a replacement for the original monorail. Whether you decide to use an actual transport ride, a gentle ride or a roller coaster, make sure your ride has 4 stations, each of them located at the same spots as the 4 stations of the old monorail. Once you've done that, open the park and set your admission fee to $20.00.
Then, demolish every bit of scenery that gives you money, and remove every piece of path. It should take 2-5 months in-game time, and leave you with around $45,000 or more. Now, make a simple loop of path around your park, possibly with an extra path right down the middle to increase your build-room.


Now, start building a mix of gentle rides, thrill rides and roller coasters around each of the 4 stations of your new transport ride. Flat rides should be opened as soon as they are constructed so that they immediately start drawing in guests. As for roller coaster designs, try to stick to cheaper, more compact designs—shuttle loops are great—but if you took the initiative of saving the design of the suspended swinging coaster that was already in the park at the start of the scenario, you can also bite the bullet and rebuild that design at the exact same spot where it was when you demolished it.
Use the existing holes in the ground to run an underground roller coaster, transport ride, or gentle ride with four stations. Set your admission to $20, and open the park. Start surrounding the four stations for your underground ride with a mix of thrill rides and gentle rides, and open them as soon as they are constructed to start drawing in guests. Build a few cheap roller coasters - the Shuttle Loop version with a looping roller coaster is cheap and easy - in these areas as well.


The scenario will usually be completed by the time you've built rides in three of the four corners.
The scenario will usually be completed by the time you've built rides around 3 of the 4 stations.

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.

Before we begin, please note that this is a paid entrance park, so you should ensure a constant flow of guests stepping through the park entrance once your park is open. The General Scenario Guide contains useful tips for such parks, so give that article a read as well.

There are two ways to beat this scenario:

  1. The "normal" way, which is to retain as much of the scenery as possible
  2. The "quick" way, which is to destroy any scenery item that gives you money when you demolish it

Consider doing this scenario the "normal" way first and working with the scenery objects before doing it the "quick" way and getting rid of the scenery. The "quick" way cuts off 2-3 years of scenario play at the cost of giving you a park that bears little resemblance to the park you first start out with.

Retain the Scenery

First of all, open the park and allow guests into the area surrounding the entrance only. Next, open the monorail and hire at least two Mechanics so that they will fix the 2 broken rides (after which they will set about inspecting the other rides). Then, rebuild the missing sections of the mini coaster. Once all that is done, connect the front of the park to the rest of it, hire handymen to clean up the litter and open up all the rides, shops and stalls. Start rebuilding the paths slowly with the exception of the pathway ringing the park on the raised ground—your guests have a tendency to get lost in there.

Build new rides and attractions once they are available so that more guests will enter your park. If you want to speed things up a little, you can also demolish all the food & drink stalls and restrooms so that your guests will leave the park faster, making way for new guests to enter. You can also take the drastic action of closing the park down once in a while to wait for a large portion of your guests to leave before reopening the park for new guests to enter. Repeat this process until you reach the objective.

Destroy the Scenery

First things first: set research to No Funding. Even without any research, you can still complete the objective with whatever existing rides are already available to you.

Demolish all the rides, shops and stalls. The amount you get from demolishing them will be enough to pay off your entire loan, so repay your loan immediately.

Next, go through the entire park and demolish every scenery object that gives you money. Since you have no rides, no stalls, no loan and no staff to maintain, you have all the time in the world to slowly go through every last tile in your park and pick off all the scenery that adds money. Apart from the Kremlin-ish domes and towers, the entire park is strewn with lots of ruined statues, wheels and junks. In addition, the massive path layout in this park works in your favour here as you get $10 for each path tile you demolish. However, you will still want to keep enough path tiles to make a full circle around the entire park and a straight path from the front to the back of the entrance to facilitate guest movement and ride construction. You'll most likely spend the rest of Year 1 rooting the park for scenery and you should have about $46,000 in cash by the time you're done.

With this $46,000 that you obtained from destroying the scenery, you have all the money you need to complete this scenario if you spend all of it building rides, and rides only.

Begin your building spree by building a replacement for the original monorail. Whether you decide to use an actual transport ride, a gentle ride or a roller coaster, make sure your ride has 4 stations, each of them located at the same spots as the 4 stations of the old monorail. Once you've done that, open the park and set your admission fee to $20.00.

Now, start building a mix of gentle rides, thrill rides and roller coasters around each of the 4 stations of your new transport ride. Flat rides should be opened as soon as they are constructed so that they immediately start drawing in guests. As for roller coaster designs, try to stick to cheaper, more compact designs—shuttle loops are great—but if you took the initiative of saving the design of the suspended swinging coaster that was already in the park at the start of the scenario, you can also bite the bullet and rebuild that design at the exact same spot where it was when you demolished it.

The scenario will usually be completed by the time you've built rides around 3 of the 4 stations.
