Some hints about Skull scenario

[vese91]

Hi guys. I have just completed the "Skull" scenario and, since I found it quite challenging, I thought that some suggestions might be useful. The peculiarity of the scenario is that an enormous rocky skull is said to lower guests happiness, but in my opinion the real challenge is to get at least 8000€ of net profit for three months in a row.

My main suggestion is to rebuild the park from zero, thus:

1) close the park and let the guest go home: there are like 30 guests initially, thus it won't take that long.

2) delete everything: rides, scenario, stalls etc ... and fire all the remaining staff, there are way more stalls than the park should have. After that, you will end up owning something like 14'000€ (remember, you cannot ask for loans).

3) delete all the paths: there is a lot of litter initially , but since you are going to rebuild the park from zero it doesn't make sense to hire people to clean up the park. Just delete the paths and litter will be gone too.

4) start building a small coaster: invest like 8000€ in building a small yet profitable coaster ... the "canyon rider" coaster type is great for the purpose, because it is cheap and a decent money maker.

5) build two other rides: invest what remains in building for example a thrilling ride and a gentle one. Exploit the non-deletable pieces of scenery to make queues look better and maybe put some other stuff (animatronics, stuff, plants etc...) to get to 100%.

Once done that, go on developing the park by keeping it small, clean, safe and good to look. Invest money in

1) policemen: one well trained will be enough at the beginning

2) hire entertainers: ... and train them

3) invest a lot of money in scenario

4) larger coasters: I have built the "Desert Fury" coaster if you are interested, it is in my workshop to be downloaded ... with two trains, I charged up to 21€ for it.

Here my two cents. Feel free to add some other suggestions if you have any!

Neat, wiping it all out and starting over. I closed all but one food and drink stall, hired 3 janitors and placed them apart to walk the lanes and clean. Building a small and cheap coaster, Yup did that. Deleting filthy paths and rebuilding them as needed? Ah-ha! You played RTC3 did you not? I remember a scenario with a trashed park where is was easier to re-build paths rather than clean them. I mostly left senery in place except where I knew no one would get to. More or less you played it like I did but with a hard core "clean slate" attitude.,
