When you have completed a scenario, your success and your score are

noted along with the name in the selection window. After you have suc-

ceeded at a few of the early scenarios, you can move on to attempt more

advanced (and more difficult) scenarios.

THE RIDES

It goes without saying that the main attraction in any park is the rides

themselves. Scenery and gardens, shops and stalls, and everything else

are necessary to keep guests happy while they’re in the park, but the rides

are the reason they come. Variety is the keyword in building rides in your

park. After all, would you visit a park that had fifteen Merry-Go-Rounds

and nothing else? Probably not.

The entire procedure for constructing a new ride is covered in great detail

in the tutorial. Briefly, let’s review the necessary steps:

Click the New Ride button to open the Ride Selection window.

♦ Using the tabs, choose a type of ride.

♦ Select the specific ride by clicking the picture, then click the Build This

button.

♦ Determine the location and direction of the ride, then build it. (For

some rides, this is a very simple process; for others, like custom designed

roller coasters, it can take some time.)

♦ Place the Entrance and Exit for the ride.

♦ Create a queuing line to attach the Entrance to a path, and make sure

that the Exit is connected to a path.

♦ Test the ride, set an admission price, give it a name, and determine its

operating characteristics.

♦ Open the ride.

The RidesEntering The Park

Go to the View tab and close the Roller Coaster 1 window.

Finally, we must consider the long term operation of the park and the

safety of the guests. Every ride is a mechanical device, and machines have

a tendency to become worn and break down. We need a Mechanic to per-

form regular inspections of each ride and repair those that do stop working.

Click the Staff button. The Staff window opens.

Select the Mechanics tab (the man in the blue work uniform).

♦ Click the Hire New Mechanic button.

Now you have a Mechanic in your employ, but you need to get him into

the park.

♦ Move the mouse pointer over the landscape and position the Mechanic

(hanging from the pincers) directly over one of the paths.

♦ Click to drop the Mechanic into the park.

Your new employee will wander the park, inspecting every ride on a set

schedule (a schedule you can control for each ride using an option on the

Operation Options display). When any ride breaks down, a radio call goes

out to the nearest Mechanic, and he hurries to fix the ride.

That’s the tutorial! Now that you’ve watched it through, get in there and

try a few things yourself. Once you’ve got some practice under your belt,

let’s move on to some more possibilities.

The Scenarios

As soon as you click the Start New Game button, you’re on your way —

but you’re not inside the park yet. RollerCoaster Tycoon includes quite a

number of park scenarios. What you see is the Scenario Selection window.

The name of each available scenario is listed in black letters. (Those you

cannot yet reach are grayed out.) Take a look at the list, and pass the

mouse pointer over each name, pausing long enough for the Tips box to

pop up. This gives you some information about the situation in the park.

When you know which scenario you want to enter, just click on the name.
