SOLUTIONS

Apprentice
Getting 400 guests is not so hard as you already have 300 once you begin. There are two ways of getting guests in the park fast. First is to launch an advertising campaign and the other is to set all the prices to their ideal setting. (I am going to write an FAQ about that too. Until then I will write it down here.). Reduce research in all fields except for rides. While you are waiting for guests to arrive max out your loan and purchase a compact inverted coaster called fear slinger and leave it in the park. No need of getting an entrance to it. Just leave it until the end of the month as it adds to park value. This will give you one tick mark in the objectives. Once you see the tick mark sell off the fear slinger and pay back your loan so you don�t incur any interest payments. Then just wait and watch.

Entrepreneur
Continue with the ad campaigns to keep guests coming in and take a loan to buy the fear slinger again. Hire one mechanic and keep adding high capacity thrill rides to start income. Set all prices to their ideal. Don�t add any food or drink because then you will have to hire a janitor to clean up and the people may not be hungry. If they are then add the shops and then keep a trash can every 10 steps to reduce litter. Now as income has begun increasing you pay back the loan and then increase it once you have enough to buy another fear slinger. Repeat this a couple of times clear out some areas of the park and add more rides to add to the park value and you should be done.

Tycoon
Keep the ad campaigns to keep guests coming in. Build more thrill rides and set the prices to their ideal. Keep paying back your loan as the income increases. Drop in an ATM or two. If your park attendance reaches first then place the no entry sign at the entrance so that no one leaves. By now you will be running out of room so buy a bit of land and buy more coasters once you have the money and you should be done.
