means later in the manual. For now, what’s important is that the ride runs

smoothly.

Select the View tab (the video camera).

♦ Click the red light to shut the roller coaster down (stop the test runs).

♦ Close the Roller Coaster 1 window.

When you know the coaster works, it’s time to create the associated

Queuing Line and other paths. When that's done you have a completed,

tested roller coaster with paths and a waiting area, but it’s still closed.

♦ Click on the Entrance to open the Roller Coaster 1 window.

♦ Click the green light to open the ride.

Now that the new ride is open and functional, you need to set an admis-

sion price. This is perhaps the most important decision you make for each

ride. Not only does the price influence how much money you make, it also

affects the popularity of the ride and, therefore, the attitudes of your guests.

Return to the Roller Coaster 1 window, and click the Income and

Costs tab (the coin and ticket).

♦ Click the small up arrow several times to adjust the Admission Price

to $3.00.

Lastly, let’s make sure that the roller coaster is operating in the most

efficient manner. After all, you don’t want your guests waiting too long for

the ride to start.

Select the Operation Options tab (the gears).

♦ Click the down arrow to open the Wait For box.

♦ Choose Wait For Any Load. Leave the Minimum Wait and Maximum

Wait times as they are.

This sets the ride to begin when one of two things happens — either the

ride has a load of passengers or the cars have been sitting at the Station

Platform for the Maximum Wait time. (Even if the ride has a full load, the

cars will not leave the station until the Minimum Wait time has elapsed.)

♦ In order to switch from a rising track to a dropping track, you must

have at least one piece of straight track in the middle.

♦ There is a limit to how high above the land you can safely raise track

using supports.

♦ You cannot build track underground unless you prepare the land for it.

♦ Track can be run under or over existing track, provided there is enough

room (vertical clearance) for the cars to pass through. However, it is a vio-

lation of the safety code to build intersections, so you cannot have the

track cross itself at the same level.

If you build yourself into a corner or decide to make a change,

you can use the Demolish button (the bulldozer) to remove the

previous section of track.

♦ The last piece of track must connect to the first piece (the Station

Platform) to create a closed loop. The height marks visible on every section

of track help you to line things up.

Now that the track itself is complete, you must position and build an

Entrance and an Exit for Roller Coaster 1. Only you can decide when the

design is done, so the Entrance button is not activated for you (as it was

when you built the Merry-Go-Round).

♦ Click on the Entrance button in the Roller Coaster Construction window.

♦ Position the Entrance square adjacent to the Station Platform (leaving

room for the Exit) and click to build it.

♦ The Exit button is selected for you when the Entrance is complete.

Position the Exit square adjacent to the Station Platform and click to build

it. (The Roller Coaster 1 window opens.)

The design and construction of your RollerCoaster are complete, but you

can’t be sure how well it will work unless you test it. Testing also helps you

determine how much to charge for it and how popular the ride should be.

♦ In the Roller Coaster 1 window, click the amber light between the red

(Close) and green (Open) lights. The ride begins its test run.

Select the tab with the pocket watch. This shows you the

Measurements and Test Data display.

At first, there is no information in this display. When the first test run is

complete, much of the missing data is filled in. We explain what all this
