RollerCoaster Tycoon® 3 offers 18 scenarios for you to test your tycoon skills. Six scenarios are unlocked at the beginning of the game. As you solve a scenario’s Apprentice objectives, one of the locked scenarios on the Career screen will be unlocked. In addition, Scenario 17 can only be unlocked after you’ve solved the first sixteen scenarios’ Entrepreneur objectives and Scenario 18 only after you solve all the other scenarios’Tycoon objectives.

Your progress is saved with your career settings, so when you load a career from the main menu, you can see your overall performance summarized there.

Park Inspector

If you’ve already played RollerCoaster Tycoon® 3 a bit, you may have noticed park inspector, Mr Jobsworth, roving the park. He’s there to help you with many of the details or give you hints, such as informing you that peeps cannot get to a ride you’ve built or letting you know your employees are slacking off. Mr. Jobsworth’s messages appear in the message console.

Awards

Awards are granted when you maintain certain standards, such as park safety, family friendliness, beautification, thrill factor, sales goals or employee satisfaction. In most cases, the awards are accompanied by a cash bonus or other reward.

Park Rating

Your present park rating is the average evaluation given by all the peeps who have visited your park. Some scenario objectives require you to maintain a certain park rating for a certain number of months. But in all cases, a positive park rating creates good word-of-mouth and generates higher park attendance. Park rating is also shown on one of the financial graphs, so you can track your progress over time.
