Walkthrough[edit]
Another map with no time limit, only five partially built coasters that need to be finished. The excitement rating requirement is 0.3 higher than Volcania, but the map is far flatter and double the space of Volcainia, giving you a lot more wiggle room to achieve your objective. However, all the coasters that need fixing are more expensive to build, so it's imperative to make a huge profit before getting to them.
Starting off should be really easy since there's a lot of rides and stalls already unlocked. Pick a good flat ride like a Merry-Go-Round and place it near the entrance as well as some stalls to take care of the needs of guests. Then spend the rest of March building a coaster of your own. The Steel Mini and Wooden Reverser are good cheap options to start off. The Wooden Reverser has the risk of flying off the track if it takes hills too fast, so you can pick the Steel Mini if you're still not confident with building riskier coasters. If you set research to maximum and pick Roller Coasters first, you should get another cheap coaster to use the Virginia Reel.
Once you have a decent profit and decide to take out a loan, you can start rebuilding the coasters. The third coaster can be pretty expensive but it's completely out in the open and the closet to the entrance. With the corkscrew at the end, you already have an inversion so add the other inversion pieces like the vertical loop and the inline twist to gain excitement bonuses. It's recommended to have a top speed around 40 mph (64 khm) to safely go through these inversions. The fifth coaster is an easier one to tackle as the Vertical Coaster has naturally high stats and one of the ends is underground, giving you plenty of room to build once you tunnel downward. It is very expensive to build, so you may have to take out a loan. Don't forget to add the holding brake, straight down pieces, and the vertical loop for excitement bonuses. The fourth coaster (Steel Twister) is similar to the fifth because it's also underground and very easy to build once you have the cash to afford the special pieces.
Once three of the five coasters are built, money should be rolling in if you raised the prices for the unfinished coasters; remember that they're set to Free by default. Once you have a lot of profit, you should be able to build the last two coasters (Wooden Twister and Flying) with no problem. Since these coasters are over and under each other, you have to be very mindful of where you build so that the other coaster has an equal amount of room. For the Wooden Twister, focus on length, drops, and speed since it doesn't have loops or a water splash that the regular Wooden Roller Coaster has. The Flying Coaster has far more flexibility and can be flipped into an inverted track for a more intense experience. With some careful planning, this coaster can reach over 8 excitement. If any coaster is just a few points shy of the goal, add path going over or under it as well as scenery near the track stations for a slight increase.
