Scenario Creation Checklist

Keep your early creations small and simple. If you’re new to creating RollerCoaster Tycoon® scenarios, start out with small scenarios that are simple to complete. (Don’t forget to save often.)

Start with an entrance path that runs through a park gate and then place a peep spawning point on the path outside the park.

Designate what land is owned by the park, what area can be purchased, what area will offer construction rights and what area is off limits.

Use the terrain shaping and coloring tools as well as selecting the background to create the stage for your scenario.

Populate the land with foliage, scenery, paths and a few rides.

Edit the peep options; such as average cash, ride preference and other settings.

Next, select what items can be researched, the amount of player starting cash, what awards may be won, restrictions and financial options.

Finally, define the objectives for each of the difficulty settings. If you are including a VIPeep in the scenario, select the VIPeep and the parameters affecting that VIPeep by clicking on the VIPeep icon found at the bottom of the Scenario Objectives dialog box that appears after you add “VIP” to the list of objectives.

Save the scenario. Click the Normal Time Speed button in the dashboard to play your scenario.
