NAME DESCRIPTION
Stinky Staff Here are some tips on staff:
For handymen: Automatically fire them from mowing when you hire them. They will mow all day if you don't. If you have gardens, station a handyman there, and he will water them.

For mechanics: In a really big park, hire one for every ride. Have them inspect every ride every 10 minutes. Be patient with them to get to a broken down ride because if you move them when they are heading for a ride, they will stop going there.

For security guards: Only hire a few unless vandalism is really bad.

For entertainers: These guys can really scare people, so only get these guys for really really really long lines- only hire a few.

Save Your Park From Disaster After A Ride Blows Up

When a ride in your park blows up, the icon for that ride will automatically popo up on the screen, no matter where you are in your park. When this happens, hit the pause button in the top lefthand corner as soon as possible. Then on the bottom right of the icon for the ride that just exploded, click the button with the four red arrows. This will take you to where it exploded. KEEP THE GAME PAUSED!!! Now hit the construction button that shows you your building options. Look for a cheap ride that people like, like a 3D cinema or a spiral slide. Unpause the game and immediately build this dinky ride in the location of the ride that crashed. FOLLOWING ALL THESE CONFUSING STEPS WILL KEEP YOUR PARK RATING FROM DROPPING TOO MUCH!

Hire Einstein
To extend your research by leaps and bounds, find Guest #1 and rename him “E=MC2”. Then find guest #2 and rename him “E=MC3”. The two will meet and begin brainstorming. Shortly thereafter they will ask to be hired on as the park’s research developers. Say “yes” and pour your resources into the think tank. The following year, research and development will have grown by leaps and bounds. You will have all of the latest rides and nearly a billion dollars to spend!
Vandalism And Trash And Vomit
If you see a piece of path that has vandalism, trash or vomit on it, put a trash can there and hire a security guard. It helps!
Gardens!
Don't build big pretty gardens! (a few flowers here and there is great) but not really big ones! Once I built this really cool garden, and half my park (2,000 some)got all upset because they were getting lost even when they had about ten maps!
Vandalism And Trash!
Many people will come in your park and get mad. (especially if you have alot of dead ends and big patches of path) Don't build lots of paths! It's a mess!
Get A Cool Desert Park Right After Opening!
On desert parks (especially Arid Heights), those poor people who come in long pants get hot. But they LOVE water rides. The first ride you should build is a Demon Drop. If you have Loopy Landscapes and are a tycoon know it all, you hopefully know what Demon Drop is. It's a water slide, and it is NOT custom built (built by you). Build a couple demon drops at the front of your park. People will rush in, and they will love it. REMEMBER to build a really really long que line!
Thief!
Name someone Richard Tan and he will walk around the park pickpocketing people!
Moving Grass/People
(Works best at Arid Heights) Make a LARGE square and put "NO ENTRY" Signs facing inward. People will walk in. When you have at least 75 people, use the ground tool to raise the ground up and down. WATCH THE PEOPLE FLY!!!
Boxing Time
If you have guests that are really mad, then make a little box by rasing your land and it will give that guest time to cool down and gain his/her happiness and increase your ratings!!
Custom Ride Music Additional ride music may be added as follows:
1. Convert the new music file into a .WAV file, PCM format, 22,050Hz, 8bit, Stereo.

2. Move the file into the 'Data' subfolder in the RollerCoaster Tycoon installed folder, and rename it to either CUSTOM1.WAV or CUSTOM2.WAV

3. Run the game as normal. The additional music file should be recognized by the game, and will appear in music selection menus as "Custom Music 1" or "Custom Music 2".

NOTE: there can only be 2 custom music files if you add a 3rd it will not work.

Tips To Building A Good Park To build a "WINNER" (A Themepark) that is a winner follow these 20 very easy steps.
1. Never borrow debt from the bank unless you absolutely need it.

2. Always, Always, Always when you borrow debt make sure you pay it back because after you pay it in, you earn bundles, and bundles more than you did before and even faster than you did before.

3. Space your food stands away from each other, and never charge over $4.00 for them otherwise you will lose buissness.

4. Everytime you build two rides then charge $5.00 more to enter the park. But if you build a roller coaster that people like then you can automaticly charge $5.00 more for the entrance fee, But if it sags low in the crowds demolish it and do not
charge the $5.00.

5. Always give your attractions "Names".

6. Put a bench near a ride that has a high nasea or high intensity rated rides.

7. Put a bathroom after every ride you make or almost every ride you make.

8. Give your attraction a theme and give it a cool name to go with the theme.

9. Put benches and trash cans next to food stands and be sure to space them.

10. To make some of your attractions have a better excitement rating on a ride higher make it under ground or parts of it underground. But remember not all attractions can be put under ground.

11. Make you rides play music but not all the rides as it might be disturbing to your guests in the park.

12. Also if you can paint your attraction do it definitely it attracts crowds.

13. Try making twin roller coasters and add a racing mode to them.

14. Always test your rides before you open them.

15. Make sure to put lots of scenery in your park.

16. Break your park into sections.

17. Be careful not to get hooked up into a certain type of ride and add lots of variety to your park.

18. When you are in the icon in selecting what ride you would like to build--look down to where it says other info--read that to get advice.

19. Put alot of entertainers to improve your guests happiness.

20. Build your way from the back of the park forwards.

More Money Fast Make all of your rides free. And then put your entrance fee way up high. More people will want to come to your park!
Avoid Making Intense Rides Yes, we all know how much it sucks to make a totally awesome rollercoaster only to find out moments later that it's to intense for your guests, so here's 5 easy ways to avoid intensity:

1. After steep drops always make wide turns
2. Loops aren't meant to be done fast, but rather slowly.
3. If you can try to use banked curves as much as possible.
4. Shorter roller coaster trains=less speed gained which=less intensity
5. Instead of making a ride go up and down in a line a gazillion times make it go up high and down once.

Cut Grass Yourself! Many people become frusterated because all Handyman ever do is cut grass! But hey, somebody has to do it. Guess what, that somebody can be you! First of all, click on your handyman then click on his pointers ( what he can and can not do, the picture is a hand pointed like a gun) change it so the handyman isn't allowed to cut gras. Now cut all of the grass you want by selecteing your lower/raise ground technique, click on the area you want to cut and presto, the grass is neatly cut.
Guests That Never Leave If you want to stop guests from leaving your park, but up a banner sign right infront of the exit from your park. Then click the No-Entry symbol. Guests will not be able to go past the sign, however, this really makes your park rating drop, and makes the guests mad, NOT RECOMMENDED AT ARID HEIGHTS!
