Meanwhile, "Pay for Ride" scenarios always results in guests not paying a cent because they're too dumb and impatient to line up for a ride wherever they go. This means you can get a lot of bank and guests just by offering half-off park entry vouchers.

      Please tell me I'm not the only one whom thought Amity Airfield and Fungus Woods were extremely easy to complete, and completed them both first attempt. I really don't see what the issue is with raising your park rating, advertising, and raising the entry price accordingly. I had more cash on both of those scenarios than I knew what to do with and nearly twice as much guests than what it says was needed for the actual scenario completion by the end of year four. That being said, scenarios where you can charge for the rides are typically easier, but that does not mean the other scenarios are hard. At least not for me.

    I remember the days when I was 7 years old failing the extreme heights scenario because I didn't know how to beat any scenario at the time because I was too dumb to understand how the game works and when I did fail the scenario, I putted no entry signs to stop the guests from leaving. 7 years later in 2014, I took on the Extreme Heights scenario and actually completed it. It took around 10 hours to complete the scenario because that's how long it took to round up 4500 guests and had a few coaster crashes there and there. The key to keeping the park rating up is hiring staff in every 5 sections where it would have at least one bathroom and food stall, placing benches and bins on every part of the track and doing this makes the scenario a lot easier.

    Great list! I know this isn’t a top 5, but do you plan on making a guide on how guest pathfinding works?

      I've found that they only really get lost when they decide they want to leave the park and can't find the exit. They cant find the exit because they took the first path they could that goes in the direction of the exit but doesn't actually connect with it (a dead end) and are too stupid to retrace their steps to the main path.
      My solution to this is to try not to build any dead-ends that point toward the park entrance, or if I do need to (like a ride exit path) to add a "do not enter" sign to it.

      I actually find pay-per-entry parks to be easier than pay-per-ride parks, simply because this guarantees that guests will give you money. In pay-per-ride parks, there are countless instances of guests never paying you a cent when they leave, due to artificial stupidity from the guests. You can always advertise up the ass in pay-per-entry parks with the half-off marketing option.

      Any scenario with hills or lakes are usually a nightmare (unless with unlimited money). I really enjoy those with difficult terrain though- far more challenging. The flat ones are just 1. build a coaster. 2. box it with a square path. 3. new handyman, new benches, new strip of shops. 4. every two coasters throw in one boring ride and one thrill ride. 5. Repeat. 6. Once overcrowding, squeeze in a free monorail to take guests from the old part to the other side of the map.
      Hills mean planning paths very carefully, as well as having to custom design every rollercoaster. And everything is more expensive because it's raised up.

    I know a really good trick for park with pay for entry when you have some guest you can make them leave with no entry signs and closing the park after that you get new guests faster
    if your goal isnt guests it is really nice if it is guests you should do it only in the start to get really much money

    I think the height restriction actually helped me on Rainbow Summit. I have a hard time building reasonably sized rides. More smaller rides, even if they are nearly as long as their taller cousins made that one pretty doable for me. Amity airfield I always come close to the wire on for that reason, but it being completely flat makes building go a lot quicker with much less thought going into it.

    Amity Airfield is such a pain in the rear to complete. Every time i play through the scenarios in rct2, it takes me several tries to get it right. This is probably because I try not to just spam motion sims, freefalls, and micro coasters to beat scenarios though.
    The big thing about Amity Airfield that I hardly ever see mentioned that makes it so finicky is the ride selection. Almost every ride you have access to has a really high base nausea rating. Swinging suspended coasters, multi dimension coasters, enterprises and freefalls... even the gentle ride selection has stuff like space rings and the like that are just straight up vomit machines. Beating the scenario takes a lot of micromanaging of your finances; splitting available funds between handyman salaries to keep the paths clean and park rating acceptable, and constant advertising and expansion to keep entrance tickets coming in. Definitely should've been an expert park, as I think it's significantly more challenging than Ghost Town or Extreme Heights.

    • @AmyLovesYou
      @AmyLovesYou 2 роки тому

      There's no need for a ride spamming on Amity Airfield. Four years is more than enough time to get the job done with custom builds. Just remember to make your park BIG. Keeping it small will not do, but having it fill the entire circumference of the map will get you more than twice as many guests as you need.

    Gravity Gardens is very hard if you play the game as intended, but if you abuse the fact that absurdly high intensity ratings raise the park value as well, this scenario becomes incredibly easy:
    1. Set up a park with some cheap coasters and a few stalls to get the maximum entry price. Make sure guests leave quickly by _not_ building any ATMs or toilets.
    2. Let the game run for a few years until you have amassed at least €100,000.
    3. Build a Looping or Corkscrew coaster with tight unbanked turns, two loops, back to the station, and set it to Powerd launch (passing station), give it the maximum number of laps and test it. It'll have an intensity rating north of 15. Save this design and spam it everywhere (at least 20 of them). Open all the rides, let them generate their stats and you win this scenario instantly.

    There should be a 50% of natural element requirement available for scenario requirements. Basically it would me that while you can destroy trees, you are prevented from destroy more than 50%, and if you want to clear out an area of forest you might have to plant trees elsewhere before deleting. I like this because I know these kinds of requirements do exist in the real world and I also think it would make for fun challenging gameplay

    Going through the scenarios in order at the moment, and I've just finished Amity Airfield. I found it pretty simple.
    I've mostly just filled it with simple, tessellating coasters and thrill rides. Have each queue as long as possible before the "I've been queuing for ages" thought pops up - guests don't complain about crowding in queues, and it gets them off the regular paths where they will vomit, litter, and whinge. Have long stretches of stalls between rides, and make sure each coaster has a $3 photo. The money ticks over enough to allow you to expand, and you can still afford to refurbish rides when their reliability drops down.

    I played Amity Airfields yesterday for the first time and was really scared because of everyone saying how hard it is. But I sailed through it with over 3500 guests and a park rating of 999. I focused at first on building rides with on-ride photos to get extra income, then to build small rides that can hold a lot of people, and maxing out the queue lines where appropriate. It was so easy. However I cannot manage to complete parks where you have to finish building existing coasters to get a specific excitement rating. I just cant do it.
