Walkthrough[edit]
Back to basics, you have an empty park with nothing but a gigantic crater filled with water and very tiny rocky islands peppered about. Thankfully, the crater itself is not as deep as it looks with the water only one unit high. Essentially, it's another park with a lot of free space to mess with. The downside is that the ride selection is pretty limited with only three coasters, so working with what you have and aggressive research is needed to beat this scenario.
Before you start building, set research to maximum and leave it on roller coasters for a while to build up a better selection. Another important thing to note before building a ride is that this is not like Big Pier or Barony Bridge where you only have construction rights over water. The rides will be built on the water instead of lining up with the path. Keep that in mind when setting your entrances and exits to help them reach the main path. If you're playing this on OpenRCT2, then holding Shift and dragging your ride upward will line it up just fine. The Single-Rail Roller Coaster is the cheapest option that will still bring in a lot of guests, so build a short coaster with that. You can also pull that off with the Wooden Roller Coaster with a slight increase of a loan if it gets too much.
Once you have a bigger variety of coasters to choose from, you can switch to Thrill Rides to get good stuff like Go Karts or the 3D Cinema to draw in more guests. As you expand forward and build more coasters, don't forget to eventually have the path get back to the park entrance to make a complete circle. It'll make it easier for guests to go home instead of walking a very long way back. Be very careful when building new path if guests are near, especially if you try to delete existing path, or you'll drown a guest.
You should reach at least 500 guests by the end of year one. If money is tight, the Steel Wild Mouse and Inverted Wild Mouse can let you build coasters for very cheap and if you continue to research more coasters and the Stand-Up Steel Roller Coaster can be used to build a simple launch coaster. If you fall behind during the second year, advertising should get your guest count back up to speed.
