How to raise your park value fast!

I only had 6 months left to raise my park value from 8,000 to 10,000 on Dinky Park. I was able to raise it up to almost 13,000 when time ran out!
What helped immensely was:


  • Building new rides and snack bars frequently, (or deleting ones that had been there for a while and rebuilding them.)


  • lowering prices on all the rides so they were packed with people, as well as lowering the entrance fee.


  • constantly have as many of the "free coupons," or "discount entry to the park" campaigns going as you can.


These were what helped the most, but also hiring plenty of all 4 types of employees,having lots of benches and trash cans, as well as plants and trees. Guests like a clean, tidy, cheap, updated park, with lots of beautification.

Filthy Rich

Buy about 5 information booth/desk knock off 0.10 from the park maps and raise the price of the umbrellas to 20.00 and when it rains it might as well be raining money.

Rollercoaster Building

Put Brakes before the station platform so that if you have 2 train they don't crash if it breaks down. Try and build the station platform high and have the drop first so it doesn't speed into the station platform.
The best ratings for a coaster are High (exictment) medium (intensity) low (sickness).

Medium Meduim Low is also good. You can build a rollercoaster with Meduim Meduim Low easily if you have an inverted or Steel Corksrew. Have 6 station platform units then do a right corksrew then another (remember to change from left corksrew) put an on-ride-photo 5 staights the 2 tight corners.

Powerlaunch it at about 31. Another rollercoaster with the same ratings is if you get a steel rollercoaster put 6 station platform units then a loop, Launch at about 25 or lower to be safe. Make sure the coaster only goes half way round the loop and your done.

Hope this helps with your rollercoasters

Intensity levels

If you have a really intence ride but the people wont ride it heers what you should do.
Eg;

Ride 1 intensity is 13
Ride 2 intensity is 9

Close ride 1 so the people ride ride 2. They will build up nerve then open ride 1 and they should ride it. Hope this helps.

Money

Put a few (4-5) infomation booths around you park. Then make the price of an umbrella about $4-$5. The next time it rains, sit back, relax and watch the money roll in.

How to kill people without that noise!

First select the shovel at the top of the screen.
Rase the land so high people won't hop off.

Then put people on the land.
Then select underground view.
After that higher the land.
Then you will see at least 1 person falling to his/her doom.

P.S.Do this fast so it will work.

Guests Drown in Mid-Air

(you must have a lot of money)
First you have to pick out a flat spot.Dig a hole about i block deep and fill the block with water.

Place a guest in the water and raise the water level and then drop it and he will drown in mid-air.

want some extra cash the easy way. first build a stand-up-steel rollercoaster( research this in forest frontiers.
<BR>

<BR>
(build the venom one) then select the power launch mode,( raise it to about 20 too high and no one will go on it because of the nausea rating) then raise the fie to $2.00.
<BR>

<BR>
Then when the "long" queue line is full and while the rolercoaster is running raise the price to $16.00(you may be able to raise it higher, i dont know) then after the ride stops the people in the quiu will go in the ride and pay $16.00 to enter.
<BR>

<BR>
Then lower the price down again so that the quiu line will keep filling up. do this as many times as you want.


 

To make sure that your rollercoasters are not too intense make sure all of the fast turns are banked.
<BR>

<BR>
For very exciting go-kart tracks make the circuits as long as possible.
<BR>

<BR>
To complete Evergreen Gardens easily delete all of the path at the back of the park .
<BR>

<BR>
This not only gets you more money but people don't get lost

When building the Log Flume or the River Raft ride don't build the ride so long,if you build it too long, like more than 5 minutes the guests begin to say"I want to get off River Ride" and get angry.When they get off the ride they will vandilize or leave the park.


 



On the map forest Frontier if you look in the lland that you dont own there will be some old buildings by a pond,so click the entrance place icon,and then the buy land icon.
<BR>

<BR>
Then by the land that has buildingson it then click the dig land icon and right click the biuldings and it will give you money.

The best ride is the whoa belly. My design costs 400 and gets me at least 4,000 every scenerio.
<BR>
<BR>
A good roller coaster design is what I call Whatever.
<BR>
<BR>
It consists of 5 station pieces than straigt into a left loop than to a right loop than to a left loop than to a right loop than go straight up. Set the lauch speed to 60, set the price to 2.00, have a black and blue color scheme, and you are ready.
<BR>
<BR>
This design got me 16,000+ on Pacific Pyramids. By the way any lauching coaster works because it gets you around 16.00 every 30 seconds.
<BR>
<BR>
You can also change go-karts tracks to mini cars tracks and vice versu.






 


I know U all are experts and I'm just a begginer and when you are near the end(october 31,june 9 etc.)and you have less guest but you all have Many money---I'v done this before and it's funny-do this:
<BR>
<BR>
1.Double-click on the cash U have.
<BR>
<BR>
2.click on the advertising button.
<BR>
<BR>
3.press/set up All Advertisement.(needs alot of cash but it's better than losing the scenario).
<BR>
<BR>
This is my second letter I wrote for U all.
<BR>
<BR>
Hope this helps!(my other letter is at Tiberian Sun IF the web site choose my letter!!)






 


If you want to make a roller coaster like Defribulattor, build a steel track that has a giant chained hill behind the station, then make a very long track in front of it (remember to make a big enough length.
<BR>
<BR>
Otherwise it will crash), then, when you go to the test and go screen, go to the gears, then click where it says Continuous Circuit Mode.
<BR>
<BR>
Click on the one that says Reverse Shuttle Incline Mode. Then test, and if it doesn't fall of, open it. (To do one like Shuttle Loop, take away the big hill step, and go to the CCM.
<BR>
<BR>
Click on the powered launch, then Jack up the speed.)

Keeping your park clean.
<BR>
<BR>
To keep sick guests from puking all over ur paths, go to an open grassy area and put a 4 square area path. the n put wooden scenery fence arond it. Add benches and if you can a path to a batroom coneccted to the litte place. go to your guest list and pick sick guests in the sick house. hire a handy man to just clean in there. This will help clean ur path a little if you have alot of extreme rides






 



To get your park realy popular:
<BR>
<BR>
Get the wooden wild mouse coaster and build 6 sections of station platform get the sharpest turn and build 2 sections, then build 2 chain lift steep sections.
<BR>
<BR>
Do a straight then 2 steep down then a straight then 2 sharp turns back into the station !!!
