facilities; how to create laser shows and whale shows; how to customize-design laser effects
and laser images.The tutorials can be found in the main menus of the game.
Using the Control Key to Build Elevated Scenery and
Structures
An improved method for building elevated portions buildings and
scenery (such as roofs) can now be accomplished using the Control
key. Use the following steps to learn how to do this.
After you’ve built the walls of a structure, build the roofline attached
to the top of the wall.This is accomplished in the same way as with
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, where you first select a roof piece from the
Scenery Structures menu, and then position the pointer where you
want to place the roof piece, hold the Shift key and nudge the
mouse up until the piece is positioned correctly, and, finally, click to place it there. Now click
to place it there.To add another roof piece at the same height, move the pointer so it touches
the previously placed roof-piece, and then press the Control key.This action assigns that
height to the Control key so when you are placing any additional scenery items in your park
and hold down the Control key, it will be placed at that height. This is particularly useful for
building large expanses of roof and platforms.

from the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 has been expanded to

Speaker Objects
Loud Speakers have been added to both the list of Path Extras and to the list of
Scenery Items. Speaker Objects can be used just like any other scenery ele-
ment, 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.
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 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.
Terrain Tools
Waterfalls
Added to the Terrain Tools buttons is a selection for creating waterfalls. See
“Creating Waterfalls” on page 14.
