RollerCoaster Tycoon: Corkscrew Follies/Sprightly Park

Like ../Haunted Harbor/, Sprightly Park has a ride that's old and rickety, but cannot be torn down: Halitosis. Besides that, the real unique feature of this park is the loan taken out. Sprightly Park owes $250,000 to the bank (causing a loan interest rate of $416.40 a month) and trying to get that debt down in 3 years is a very difficult feat. Thankfully, that's not the goal as you simply need 1,500 guests instead, which shouldn't be difficult now that guests are already coming in with plenty of rides built for them.

Immediately pause once you start the scenario. First, you only have one handyman roaming around, so immediately hire more (around 7 or 8) and put patrols for them. The pathways are very twisty, so there will be some overlap on their patrols. The mechanics are set up just fine, except for Mechanic 1's patrol being rather stretched. Even though the park owes a lot of money, it's still recommended to set research funding to maximum with a focus on Thrill Rides and Roller Coasters as you have very few to work with. Finally, there's the rides: they're all very old, but thankfully only one can't be torn down. Old rides aren't as attractive as new ones, so replacing them as fast as possible will help your clientele. Start with the non-track rides first as you can literally demolish and replace them. Of course, they don't have to be placed in the exact same area, so where you put them is up to you. You can build brand new rides if you don't like the placement and even rearrange the pathways if they're too twisty for guests. Don't forget to put a Drink Stall, an extra bathroom, and an Information Kiosk once you're done.

This is another park where there's a fee for entering, but the rides are free. You're free to get rid of that system and charge per ride, but if you decide to stick with it, do not leave your rides free or your guests will get on rides endlessly without paying a cent. Instead, charge your rides with a reduced price like 50 cents to one dollar for the Spiral Slide and Haunted House while track based rides can go for at least two dollars, depending on their excitement levels. Don't forget to raise the entrance fee; $40 is usually a good compromise for your guests. You can even charge for bathroom use if you really need your guests to leave with no money left.

With how much space is already taken, there's not a lot to expand. The empty area adjacent to Shooting Starr is your best bet, but otherwise you can tear down some of the pre-built rides if space is necessary like the Cycle Railways. You can buy more land, but at $80 per square, it's recommended to only buy what you need. Plan ahead if you decide to buy land for more roller coasters. As for the loan, you can pay it off, but a loan interest of $416.40 a month shouldn't impact your finances too hard (but your company value will be in the negatives). Hit at least 1,000 guests by Year 2 and the rest of the scenario should be a cakewalk.
