In all three RollerCoaster Tycoon games, there are behind-the-scenes setting (handicaps) that are enabled on scenarios, making it harder for the player to complete the goal.
RollerCoaster Tycoon
There are several special settings for scenarios and while some of them are given in the description or obvious, others are hidden. There are two settings for increased difficulty, which you can find out by opening a saved game of the according park with the scenario editor of Roller Coaster Tycoon 2.
Park rating higher difficulty level
This handycap makes it harder to please your guests. You can counter it by making your park even better, so watch your guests' moods and their according thoughts. That means more shops and stalls, more bathrooms, clean paths, better and cheaper rides, ... Eventually your park will also reach a rating of 999.
Guest Generation higher difficulty level
This setting will prevent you from attracting significantly more than 1000 guests without building large coasters. In order to attract more than 1000 guests with this setting enabled, you must build coasters with an excitement rating of at least 6 and a length of at least 600 meters (1,969 feet). In exchange for this, large coasters attract three times as many guests as they would with this setting disabled. This setting can cause a park to stall for no obvious reason, this happens usually when the first batch of guests are broke and can't afford your rides and shops anymore. If you are playing a scenario with this setting enabled, you may need to sell smaller rides and use them to build a large coaster to attract guests. Once you have hit the 1,000 guest cap, there is no more reason to build flat rides and smaller coasters.
