    SO in the future if you do a run like this, i suggest closing the park once every other year
    this forces all gusts out of your park, and once all guests have left, you open back up, which charges them all the entrance fee again and is a HUGE influx of cash

  • @themasked1818
    @themasked1818 2 года назад +1

    Pro tip: Most of the peeps are in groups, and all of them only go on one ride with the whole group or just wait for the rest of the group to finish one ride, and this makes it hard to earn cash bc most of their time is spent standing around and doing nothing, so i reccomend downloading a mod that spawns more individual peeps, they don't have to wait for their group, so much more of their time is spent on rides/buying stuff.
    Hope it helps someone ^^

    A lack of atms is the major problem I see. Your guests run out of money before they make it to the back of the park, also charging for the bathroom and high food and drink costs also tend to be useful.

I had the idea to send a handwritten letter to Atari asking them if I could have a copy for free. A few weeks later I get a letter back from Atari. They replied saying that they didn’t have a copy of Tycoon City, but they gave me Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum Edition instead.
