- The key to a successful park is pre-planning. It's best not to rush in
- and plonk things like rides where you damn well please because on the
- day your park will suffer. Just use your head and think about the best
- areas to place your rides. The roller coasters for example, is the
- star attraction and is always worth a spot in the centre of your park.
- The rides are important, but the pathways are what you must
- concentrate on. Lay these down willy nilly and you'll find that people
- will start to wander and will eventually get lost or stuck. Initially,
- just lay the minimum of paths to get people from your rides and
- stalls.
- As the parks builds, a one-way system is recommended. This will
- enable you to lead visitors past shops where the majority of people
- will start to spend their cash. Always make sure you have plenty of
- sign posts pointing to the exit, the toilets and all your best rides.
- Your entertainers are employed to keep your visitors happy, but it
- is extremely important to keep the entertainers happy too. If an
- employee's morale is low because of a problem with things such as
- wages then you won't get the best out of them. It's always a good idea
- to have plenty of handymen and mechanics working on your park. Keep
- them well paid and they'll fix and clean things a lot quicker. Always
- position handymen near your toilets because if they start to smell
- your park will gain a bad reputation and people will stay away.
- If your staff decide to walk out, then give them the cash they want
- because, financially, strike action will totally cripple your park.
- Keep a careful eye on the thought bubbles that appear above visitors
- heads as these tell you their current mood. Only response to a problem
- if there are a load of people with the same thought. This is down to
- the fact that some visitors won't be happy no matter what alterations
- you make.
- The best way to keep your visitors happy is by throwing food and
- drink down their necks because people are less likely to complain if
- their tums are full. Watch the price of your goods though.
- The visitors will have loads of cash in their pockets, but the
- problem is trying to get them to spend it. Make sure you have plenty
- of novelty and food shops dotted around, especially near the
- entrance/exit.
- There are many strategies to use in Bullfrog's business simulations,
- but follow these basic rules and they should get you off to a flying
- start. Remember the golden rule. Plan everything by using your brain,
- before you click that mouse button.

-
- Plough Loads of cash into the research of new and exciting rides
- because nothing can pull in the crowds like a roller coaster can.

- Hope this helps..... <><
