Tiger Forest: Difference between revisions

''The golf tycoon has shot a bogey, you're stuck with an under-par attraction no one wants - it's an albatross around your neck and losing money bad. Tee-up a new wildlife park from scratch to attract a different sort of Tiger here.''

Get ready that you’ll spend a lot of time here, as this scenario takes quite some time to win.

First of all note your finances, you have more loan taken than your starting cash, and it has a crazy 29.9% interest rate. This will be one of your biggest enemies here. (The other will be the pandas, but don’t bother with them for now.)

As your objectives say too, build a Roller Coaster first with an excitement rating of at least 6 (so it included in the Tycoon objective as well). It will be the heart-and-soul of your park. My choice was to build a custom Looping Rollercoaster with Power launch, (If you don’t like to build Roller Coasters yourself, you could buy a pre-made design too.) I could build it from my starting cash, but with that most of my cash gone. Set the price of the coaster to about $5.00.

Build one or two informations near the entrance (and raise the price of umbrellas a little bit), a few food, drink, souvenir stalls as well as toilet and an ATM, and wait. - Soon you’ll get a quest to sell a lot of Toy Helmets, I tried but I couldn’t complete that. - Try to refrain from taking more loan because it will hurt you a lot. Use the cash you get from the profit of your Roller Coaster and the Minigolf to build flat rides. A wise idea is to have some that has roof (such as Thunder Bobs) as well, so the guests ride them even if it’s raining. You could build a few billboards too for a little extra profit.

Aim for the required total monthly ride income and more - you’ll lose a large chunk of your monthly profit because of the ridiculously high loan interest, so that should be something to deal with soon. Once you have a nice monthly profit, try to repay the loan bit-by-bit.

Don’t bother with the pandas before you would repaid at least half (or preferably the whole) of the loan. Once your finances looks all right, build a medium sized chain fence enclosure (I recommend the separate part of the park for that) with a large herbivore house and buy 3 pandas, one male and two females. You’ll notice that it given you negative profit for the selling pandas objective, but don’t worry about that now. Very likely the Park Inspector will note that “P. the panda is unhappy because there are too many animals in its enclosure.” Do not bother enlarging the enclosure too much, rather, build a separate chain fence enclosure close to the current one, and put one of the female pandas there. If the Park Inspector stops nagging about it, you’re fine. It’s also important because the pandas won’t breed if they’re unhappy and/or don’t have enough space, and the objective is to get a ton of profit from selling pandas. Hopefully sooner or later you’ll get a notice that one of your pandas got pregnant. Put the male panda to the other enclosure and hope that you’ll get the same message again soon. From that on it’s a waiting game with the pandas, as their gestation period is 36(!) months.

Until that, build more rides and try to pay off the loan. Once the loan is repaid, try to stack up money for a second exciting coaster (It will be easy, since likely your monthly profit is very high by this time, since that was the means of surviving while fighting with the huge loan and the ridiculously high interest - as well as it was an objective anyway -, and so now that the loan is gone, your monthly profit should be very high.) I built a custom Virginia Reel, but any coasters should be fine that gets 6+ excitement rate.

Build more rides to your like while waiting for the panda babies. After quite some time, they will born. Hopefully each female panda will have 2 or 3 babies. Luckily, baby animals worth more money than adults. Sell as many from the baby pandas as necessary to complete the panda profit objectives and you won Apprentice, Entrepreneur and Tycoon.
