After a little bit they will meet and start brainstroming then they will ask to join your enhancement team click YES after that they enhancement team will say the team is moving in bounds and leaps. The rides,food etc. will be done faster...Much faster.

"Rich Guy and Pocket Picker"
Name on of the people in your park Richard Branson and he will make everybody rich. Name on of the people in your park Richard Tan and he will pocket pick people!!

Wash Away the Sickness
When a guest is sick, pick him up, drop him in the water, pick him up, drop him in the water etc... Keep doing that and the sick guest will become very happy and healthy.

(NOTE: The guest will become sick again later throughout the game.)

Hint: Remove Weeds without Mowing
To remove weeds without mowing the landscape, click on a construction button (like the leveling land button). Then click on a weed... it will disappear!

Station Brakes Tip
Always put brakes just before a station to slow the train to 4mph. This way, when your station breaks fail, you will not lose your roller coaster and get bad publicity.

Hint: Tycoon Tips
  • Building costs
    Construction is cheaper on a level surface than an uneven one.
  • Park layout
    Keep the park layout simple. Too many paths for instance confuse guests and get them lost or angry.
  • Observation towers
    The busiest observation decks have ample view of the park (preferably 360 degrees).
  • Monorails
    The cheapest monorail has the fewest stops.
  • Roller coasters
    Freaky roller coasters frighten guests.
  • Stage shows
    Imitate Vaudeville. Use a variety of good acts to keep the audience engaged.
  • Shops and Stalls
    Park owners can charge the highest prices when their shops are near the rear of the park. (After walking that far, tired and hungry guests are more than willing to pay high prices.) However, when they are too closely packed, shop owners may end up competing for customers, causing the overall price level to fall.


Hint: Water Slides
If your waterslides are getting stuck, hit pause, close, construction, then open again and unpause. That should fix the problem.

Hint: Fix Ride
First, close the ride/attraction. Next, change the number of cars/trains. This should cause new cars to appear. If they don't show, quickly switch the ride from test run and back to closed again. The text at the bottom of the window should change if done right. You might have to delete a piece of track and replace it with the same piece to make it work. Doing this will save repair costs.

Hint: Keep Guests Longer

Click on any guest and open his/her window. Keep the window open for a while and the guest will think "I have the strangest feeling someone is watching me."

Hungry Guest
Change a guest's name to Tony Day. That person is very and always hungry.

Let Guests In, Keep Guests In
On RCT select a banner sign and put it just in front of the park exit. Make sure this sign is facing the correct direction or guests can't get in the park. Now click the red button with a line on it, this will make it so guests cant get out of the park but guests can get in.

NOTE: While this works well, it also brings your park rating down. Use it with care.

Impressed Guest
Change a guest's name to John Wardley. That person will think WOW when seeing a ride.

Quacking Duck
To make a duck quack click on it.

Ride tips
Click pause then reset a ride, the rides will be back at the station and there will still be a queue line (if you have one).

If a rollercoaster crashes, click the off (red) botton several times, and you will get your coaster(s) back!

Once you have built a coaster, and the intensity is over 10, you know that no-one is gonna ride it. If you switch the ride off (red button) and change the number of trains, and then change the number of trains back, the game will think you have changed the whole coaster, thus the coaster is untested. Kids will ride a coaster if it hasn't been tested no matter the intensity. So they'll ride the coaster and give you CA$H! But remember it's only untested the first time, but you could do it again and again if you have the time.

Raise Park Rating
Change a guest's name to John Bibrough:That person will enable each time L is pressed, the park rating goes up. . Note: You have to hit F a couple times for the rating to finally go up.

Waving Guest
Change a guest's name to Katie Brayshaw, That person will wave to everyone.

    Hint: Money Making Technique
    Raise the prices of all the rides in your park to their excitement rating. For example if the excitement rating is 8.27 you should charge them $8.30. (Round up) Guests will never think you ride is too expensive. NOTE: This trick wont work for certain rides such as cinemas or dodgems so you should either demolish them or lower the cost 10-50 cents. Make sure that all your rides have been re-priced this way or guests will only go on that ride.
