ADDITIONAL TERRAIN TOOLS

Waterfalls

Added to the terrain tools buttons is a new selection for creating waterfalls. See “Creating Waterfalls” on page 19.

TUNNEL ENHANCEMENT

You can now tunnel coasters into any angle of terrain including vertical, rather than just through horizontal surfaces.

CUSTOMIZABLE SHOPS

The selection of stalls now includes Custom Stalls. After placing one of these shops, you can choose the type of item which will be sold from them. For example, if you want your Custom Stall to sell the same set of items that are normally sold at the Wild Toys shop, just select “Wild Toys” from the drop-down list in the shop’s Sold Items window. Also available are Custom Stalls with various types of billboards attached, which can have custom images or real-world ads assigned to them.

PLACING ASSETS UNDERGROUND

You can now place scenery items, rides and shops underground by holding the Shift key and dragging the mouse down. This is useful for adding elements to the underground tunnels you’ve constructed

ANIMALS

One of the most exciting new features in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Wild! is the ability to add animal exhibits and safaris to your amusement parks. To add an animal exhibit, you must first build a fenced enclosure to keep the animals (and your guests!) safe.

CREATE ENCLOSURES

Click on the Rides button and then click on the Enclosures button to open the Enclosure con- struction panel. This changes your cursor to a ghosted 1x1 enclosure square. Click on an open space, hold the mouse button and drag to cre- ate an enclosure. Release the mouse button once you’ve dragged an appropriately sized enclosure.

To add to an existing enclosure, just click inside

or adjacent to it, hold the mouse button, drag to expand the area, and release.

You can select different types of enclosure fencing by selecting an enclosure fence type in the Enclosure construction panel.

To delete an enclosure fence, click on the Trash button in the Enclosure construction menu, hold the mouse button and drag over the part of the enclosure you want to erase.

For best results, flatten the terrain for your animal enclosures before constructing any enclosure fences. This will allow you to add Animal Houses where both animals and ani- mal keepers may more easily use them.

PURCHASE ANIMALS

Once you’ve built an enclosure, you can add animals. To do this, click on the Rides button and then click on the Purchase an Animal button. This displays a selection of available
