SFMM real park in RCT2

OK, finally I decided to get this game a few weeks ago and I have a few questions about this scenario. The park rating is at 534...HA HA go ahead and laugh. I don't have a piece of food on the pathways, I have added mechanics so there is one available to fix rides. Many guests say this park is clean and tidy. I have awards that state best park for custom designed coasters, best value park award, park with best rollercoasters reward.

And I seem to barely break even or be in the red. I have added 3 rides, (Hyper, SS S&S, and inverted impulse). I themed the last two in the ground. I have marketed the last 5-6 years free drinks, half price admission in march, october, etc... Some guests have complained that there hungry, thirsty, I have added alot of food drinks, and that problem is not near as bad. I need about $3300 in ticket sales per month to break even and some months I get around a 200-1500 profit and some months I am that same amount in the red. Also I have paid off my loan.

It seems to me that this game is more of a pain to make money in then the first. However, I don't think it is this hard. I think I am missing something in this scenario and am asking what that is?????

Edit (things I forgot).. My admission is 48 dollars, and the park value originally was 500-600 dropped over time to 250 (numbers are in the thousands) and has increased to around 300 with the new giga coaster. Now I know I am doing something wrong for it to be like that.

You're not alone. I haven't beat that SFMM scenario, I think it's extremely hard to get that high of a park value and renew your loan at the same time! I just gave up. If you want to beat the level, you've basically just gotta get a ton of money, demolish the rides (that have saved tracks) and rebuild them for a higher value. It's just that, the park value has to be so high.

I lost my hat on Poison Ivy. How pathetic.

Yeah one thing I have noticed is Deja Vu and X and Viper break down every 2 seconds. I thought about demolishing those and putting something else in. What are the easier park scenarios?? But since I have paid my loan off I don't want to take it out again.

I also ran in to this, look and see how many people are trying to leave the park and from where they are. A lot of times people will get stuck on the other side of the mountain and get lost cause they aren't smart enuough to go around. Try building a few paths going straight through the mountain to the other side. Also people dont do well on the sky tower. I just shut down the ride after i got everyone off the top because it seemed like a better alternative than have people stuck up there.

I'll look into that beast, the thing I can't figure out is why my park rating is 534 and just sits there no matter what I do. That is killing me.

If you all really want to beat the level, it takes no effort. Just demolish Goliath, X, and maybe a few others, then pay off your loan. Works for me.

want a better tip? just save the scenario,load it into the scenario editor & change the scenario objectives to something that's a bit more reasonable to achieve.

I've done this so far with the SFOT & SFGRADV scenario's although I have yet to beat either of them yet,I'm too busy building my own parks.
