Walkthrough[edit]
This park is rather small, but compared to previous park value missions, $10,000 by year 2 is hardly challenging. The park is basically a giant hole and the biggest challenge because of that is laying down path to allow guests to navigate the area without going up and down frequently. With careful planning and compact rides, this place will be beaten before you realize it.
There are a lot of bushes in the park and you may have to delete them to place your new rides. Thankfully, compared to trees, they're very cheap to remove, even in bunches. Moreover, you already have three roller coasters that have tiny turns and can be built compactly: Steel Wild Mouse, Wooden Crazy Rodent, and Virginia Reel. Pick one of those rides and build it near a wall to have it partially underground. You'll need to utilize this to make space for more rides. In addition, having most of the ride underground will count as a covered ride, so they'll ride it when rain occurs. Set your research to maximum on roller coasters to get the Corkscrew Roller Coaster as it has a launched mode that's useful for small spaces. After that, switch to Thrill Rides to get the Whoa Belly, then Gentle Rides to get the Merry-Go-Round.
As you lay down more rides, you'll build your path around the perimeter of the grey area blow until you make a circle of path. This will help keep guests moving and let them get to the exit faster when they want to go home. You should have about six to seven handymen to cover the area. Once you have around three tracked rides and two flat rides, you should already hit the $10,000 mark. Remember that park value will go down once the rides age, so keep track of the finance tab if you ever see a large dip. Don't be too alarmed if it's a small dip though, as it tends to fluctuate and can be easily made up with a new ride.
You should have around 500 guests at the end of the first year and at least three coasters. Keep guests coming in with advertising, if necessary, as more guests add to your park value. If the deadline approaches and the value is still too low, replace your flat rides with brand new ones to artificially spike it up.
