ADDITIONAL THEMES

Some of the object placement windows (such as rides, shops, and scenery) now include selections for two added themes, Prehistoric and Safari.

ADDITIONAL RIDES

Animals and Enclosures

Several rides have been added to the various categories under the Rides button. In addition, two buttons have been added to the Rides menu, one for purchasing animals and another for building animal enclosures. Animal enclosures should be built before purchasing any animals. See the tutorials for Building Animal Enclosures and for Performing Animal Care for more information.

ADDITIONAL SCENERY

Four scenery options have been added to the scenery buttons.

Terrain Surfaces

The Terrain Surfaces button allows you to add raised terrain in blocks, as well as larger structures for marking the entrance to a new themed area. This allows you to quickly add blocks of terrain to create terraced landscapes and elevated

scenery. Note: Tunnels and waterfalls may only be created using actual terrain and not these terrain surfaces.

Speaker Objects

Loud speakers have been added to both the selection of Path Extras, and to the selection of Scenery Items. Speaker objects can be used just like any other scenery element, except you may also assign a sound file to the object, adjust

the volume of the speaker, and turn it off or on. Adding speakers throughout the length of a track ride, or along the path of a themed area allows you to give your park a more immersive feel, and a higher park rating.

Passport Stations

Listed among the Path Extras is an element called Passport Stations. Peeps are given a passport booklet as they enter the park. If peeps have their passport booklet stamped by the required number of stations, they win a prize! You can

specify how many stations are required by clicking on a Passport Station and using the Passport Station control panel. The ideal strategy for using Passport Stations is to place them far apart at the far reaches of your park, giving peeps a reason to visit all areas of your amusement park.

Billboards

Real-world sponsors may now advertise in your amusement parks! Within the list of Scenery buttons is a button for adding billboards. These billboards may be updated with new advertisers while connected to the Internet. Income for your amusement park can be generated by adding these billboards. You may also add your own images to billboards, by using the “Custom Images” option.

ADDITIONS TO THE DASHBOARD

Escaped Animal Indicator

From time to time, an animal may escape from its enclosure causing some park guests to flee and stop spending money. Click the indicator to enter

the DartCam and right-click to toggle Sniper mode. After shooting and hitting an animal with a tranquilizer dart, it will lay down and a crate will appear around it indicating it may be picked up and placed in an animal enclosure. Note: Escaped animals may not be sold until they have been recaptured and placed in an animal enclosure.
