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.
