Walkthrough[edit]

Debuting another new scenario goal, there's a couple of things you may have already noticed that's different about this level. The biggest is there's no money counter, because this park has unlimited funds. Due to the circumstances of this, you cannot set your research specifically and you cannot close the park. You have to get 2,000 guests inside this park with no time limit. However, if your rating falls below 700, you have one month to get it over that mark or you immediately lose the level.

With no money, you're free to build whatever. Immediately build a couple of flat rides to bring in guests and raise the rating, then hire mechanics and handymen to keep everything clean and working smoothly. Since you don't need to pay wages, feel free to place as much as you need. This should give you some free time to start building a coaster. You only get five to start with and unfortunately, you have no control over what gets researched next, so you'll have to work with what you have. Thankfully, you have a ton of free space and no monetary limit, so use it to your advantage to make a great coaster. Don't spend too much time making it as you do need to keep an eye on your guests to ensure the rating stays over 700.

By August, you should finally start unlocking a roller coaster. Roller coasters will always be a great draw to the park, but spamming the same type of coaster will lower the effect compared to using a new type. Try to use as many coaster types as possible before picking types you've already used. By now, you should know about the Wooden Side-Friction's tendency to crash at hills and the Stand-Up Steel being more nauseating than most coaster types. Make sure your coasters are built well enough with mechanics patrolling nearby to ensure crashes don't occur as they'll kill your park rating. Saving often helps if a crash does happen.

Can't choose your research in this scenario.

Getting more roller coasters and other rides will take a lot of time to pass and since you can't advertise, waiting and maintaining your park is all you can do before good rides appear. Once you reach 2,000 guests with a rating of 700 and over, you'll automatically win the scenario once the next day comes.
