Mission 18

[Mamaelf]

How the Heck do you get $2000 a month from the park gate? I've been playing this mission for 3 days now and can't get it. My park is at 5 stars, and I have a $20 entrance fee. But the most I get is $450 a month from the gate.

The Quest giver said you need to make $1,000,000 to pass. The secondary quests are;

#1 Have a minimum of 100000 in cash.

#2 Achive monthly earnings of 2000 at Park entrance fee.

#3 Achive monthly earnings of 3000 at Visitor facilities.

Took me 3 days just to get the 100000. 1 hour to get 3000 from the Visitor facilities.

You ever figure this out? I can do the rest easy but i always see people complain about the entrance fee


I figured it out, just slowly keep raising your park entrance fee, i did it in increments of five, Until you hit the max amount. Then its sorta luck that you get enough people to leave and come in

[Mamaelf]

Thanks Direwolf. I'll try that.

You can also kick all visitors out when your ticket price is high enough and they accept it and then people will start coming again because the park is empty.
It will help getting a lot more in one month simply because not just those visitors who left will be replaced by new ones but actually everybody.

Thanks Arcanumbra!

I am having a problem with this one too. Did you add rest rooms, Ice cream booths, etc etc. I added a few and the shop as well, but still can't get beyond a - figure.

Are you also adjusting prices in the shops? Additionally it can save money to only offer one of the items per "Level" as in 1 one star item, 1 two star item etc so you only ever have a max of 5 items on sale per shop, unless it's a restaurant, which requires you to offer one for each: food, drinks and sweets.
It saves some maintenance cost and still satisfies your guests.
Attractions like Aquarium etc also can earn a lot of money if well adjusted.

Ok - I did untick all items for the level. I had adjusted the prices as best I could, which was giving a small profit. I will try your ideas though.

[redbaron07]

Tried all that, still no joy. Mostly around -500 each month. I have reset the mission adn am trying a new strategy. I am only placing the minimum amount of staff and am extending their work areas. It was mainly staff costs that were the issue. Also I am only going to add visitor facilities as required. I will see how that goes.

[redbaron07]

Ok still no joy here. So how did you all complete this one?
I have tried limiting the staff, only building a few buildings and limiting the goods for sale, at the most I have had a small profit of around 50! No idea what else to try.
So amy other ideas would be great.
Thanks.

Ok I have completed this now. For anyone else here is how I did it:
Min number of staff, put animals close together to maximise staff use, build only a few items such as toilets, drinks, shops and finally once you have a small profit build the jeep! Near to this put a cafe & drinks, within afew months the profit was over 3000!
Cheers.

How many animals did you end up with? How many of each facility did you use and how many of each staff did you have at the end? I passed it once but can't remeber how I did it the first time.

[Arca]

Well done :) Glad you did it

[redbaron07]

I only had the basic animals as per the tasks. I ended up with two Ice Cream units and two hot dog units. One restaurent, one shop and two toilets.
Oh and one jeep - which made the most profit.
