I'm running a park and I started out with 950,000 dollars with 5 percent interest. Now that the park is up and running, I'm not making any money because the interest are 6000 and something dollars a month. I'm now down to 700,000 dollars in such a short amount of time.
I have to keep making coasters so that I can keep the guest coming, but at the same time the interest rates and the coaster of construction and advertising is making my money fly of of the window. I predict that by the time I reach year 10 my money will be almost gone. Does anyone have any tips?

Hmm,
Idea: Pay off as much of your loan as you can and still have enough money to build.
Say you start with that 950,000 loan, pay it down to about 20,000, then as you need more money hit the bank up for another 10,000 or so. Remember the loan limit is fixed, you can pay it back and charge against it as many times as you like, think of it as a charge card with a 950,000 limit. Take out only what you need for the current building project.
If your park starts turning a good profit you may not need to borrow all 950,000, and at any rate you will have much lower interest payments in the early part of the game.
