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.
Submitted by Liam King
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.
Submitted by Spoons
Hint: Water Slides
If your waterslides are getting stuck, hit pause, close, construction, then open again and unpause. That should fix the problem.
Submitted by T Wolf
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.
Submitted by Jack_Frost2004
Hint: Raise The Dead
When guests get tired of a rollercoaster, simply shut it down and take out a single track and replace it with the same track, then re-open it, guests will treat it as if its a new attraction!
