the thrills. Use water for effect, and create hills and valleys through which your ride
will race. All these elements are at your fingertips, so use them.
Remember, any fool can build a roller coaster with an impressive first drop, but can
you keep the fun and action going right through to the end of the ride? When I
designed Nemesis at Alton Towers, I wanted to ensure that there was speed and exhila-
ration even right up to the last section of track before the station, so I dug a hole just
in front of the station brakes and dropped the ride down through a corkscrew below
ground level. It comes as quite a shock when you ride it. If the riders get off feeling
that the ride has dulled-out halfway through, they will be disappointed, but if they get
off on an emotional high, they’ll come back for more — and they’ll be more likely to
buy an on-ride photo of themselves. (Position the camera in the best place for good
expressions on riders’ faces to maximize sales.)
Locate your big spectaculars towards the back of the park, to draw the guests right
through the park past as many “spending opportunities” (food kiosks, etc.) as possible.
Once you’ve designed your coaster, you’ve got to operate it at maximum efficiency.
Should you wait till the train is full before you send it out of the station? Keeping
riders waiting is boring, and the more frequently the guests walking around the park
can see the ride running, the more attracted they’ll be to ride it, but a full train is the
most efficient way of running the machine. Even the best-designed roller coaster won’t
make money unless it is operated and maintained efficiently.
It has taken me 25 years of hard work to gain my experience in the theme park industry.
With RollerCoaster Tycoon, you can get there in 25 minutes!
A plot of land is out there waiting . . . rides are available for you to design and build
. . . and guests are ready to visit you and spend lots of money.
Good luck, and have fun.

A WORD FROM JOHN WARDLEY
The world of theme parks is one of the most exciting businesses to be in. Now, you too
can be a roller coaster tycoon and make your fortune by designing, building, and oper-
ating some of the biggest and most sensational theme parks in the world.
There’s much more to a theme park than roller coasters, height, speed — and making
people feel sick! You are about to become a real-estate developer, an engineer, an
accountant, a landscape architect, a manager of people, and an entertainer.
Your park must provide a fun day out for everybody, at a price they can afford. They
must be kept comfortable and happy, well fed and amused — but you have bills to
pay, advertising costs, wages and big problems ahead of you. You will need to use all
your skills to be successful.
Here are some tips. As a ride designer, think of yourself as an entertainer; you can
make your riders laugh or cry, you can amaze them, mystify them, scare them, amuse
them, or terrify them — it’s all under your control. Just think of the power you have!
But entertainers need to understand their audience. Who are you trying to entertain?
. . .families with young children? . . .teenagers who want the ultimate in white-knuckle
terror? . . .or everyone who comes to your theme park, including grannies and little kids?
Think of a ride on a roller coaster as a journey through an adventure. It must have
variation — not just its ups and downs, but also its surprises and shocks, its gentle
scenic sections to lull you into a false sense of security, and its wild mean parts to
scare the pants off you.
A ride should be impressive, yet fun to watch, and it should fit into the layout and
landscape of the park. Your guests must be able to see some of it from the walkways,
but keep some bits hidden so they come as a complete surprise during the ride. An
adventure journey must take your riders through an exciting, disorientating, and spec-
tacular environment. Position trees, tunnels, and other obstructions so as to enhance
