RollerCoaster Tycoon/Forest Frontiers

Forest Frontiers is the first scenario of the game and, although the time is relatively short, this scenario is one of the easiest. This scenario is a good starting point for beginners or inexperienced players as there's plenty of empty, flat space to experiment on. If you choose the tutorial from the menu, it will create a gentle ride and roller coaster for you, giving you a head start on this scenario.

Forest Frontiers starts you with an empty, closed park. To make empty parks bustling, you will need the following: a couple of gentle or thrill rides, at least one roller coaster, food stalls, a bathroom, a handyman, and a mechanic. Once these pieces are set and a decent amount of profit is made, you can then slowly expand with a couple more simple rides, another area to eat and drink, or even another roller coaster if you wait long enough.

As for the roller coaster, a Steel Mini Roller Coaster can be enough since they're one of the cheaper roller coasters and have the flexibility to add chains to uphill turns. If you want another inexpensive roller coaster type, modify the research priorities to roller coaster research only, which can be done by clicking on the chemical flask filled with red liquid at the menu at the top. You'll eventually get access to the Steel Roller Coaster, which can be built relatively cheaply, but still will attract as many guests as a larger wooden one. Refer to the building your first roller coaster section for more details about building a custom roller coaster.

When building food stalls, drink stalls, and bathrooms, always build a few benches and trash cans around them so guests can sit down to eat or drink and have somewhere to throw away their trash. Be mindful to build them away from rides with medium or high nausea as getting on roller coasters with a full stomach can cause guests to throw up. Building benches near the exits of roller coasters can also lower nausea, letting guests rest when they're green. If certain areas still get covered with vomit too often, consider employing a handyman to that specific area using the Patrol Areas button.

Once you reach around 250 guests, it'll be easy to maintain the attendance if your park rating is high. If guests start to leave, check the list of guests at the toolbar and organize their thoughts to see what complaints they have. For example, if the guests think the paths are disgusting, employ more handymen or direct your handymen to more problematic areas. Keep your park clean, safe, and affordable to keep the rating above 600 and before you know it, you will have beaten this scenario.

Your company value will serve as your score once you win. This is determined by your park value, the amount of cash you own, and how much money the bank has loaned you. Getting a good company value requires a huge park with expensive rides and no money on loan. It's not required to have a high company value to beat scenarios; in fact, scenarios can even be beaten with negative company value.
