I recently installed this game, but I'm lost on what I'm suppose to do and how to get started building.
Is there any helpful instructions for this game?

I'd bet there's a ton of guides and wikis out there, but in truth I'm probably just as lost as you. Merlin's Medieval **** Dungeon is $2k in debt and we only have two rides.

What you want to do is find your rivals park, build a rollar coaster that goes like 100mph, and dont finish it. Just have it fly off the rails in their park .

The game is actually fairly easy. It's essentially a business simulator, and one with pretty lenient loans at that. Just make sure your rides and park entrance fees are making money, and keep an eye on updates telling you on any problems in the park.

You need to hire staff to maintain things, namely janitors to clean, mechanics to maintain and repair rides, security to prevent people from breaking things, and entertainers to keep people in lineups happy. You can use a foot shaped route tool on employee pages to designate specific areas to work (hint: you probably want to shut off lawn mowing for most janitors, as that's very low prority and they tend to get stuck doing it a lot).

If you have spare cash reserves and need to bolster your guest population, check out the advertisements tab on the finances page, and pick some of your best rides to advertise. I usually just activate all the options once at once for the biggest effect.

Lastly, avoid anything that would cause guests to die. Namely ride crashes (rarely happens to coasters, unless you had a serious design flaw, but the Water Slide has a bad habit of crashing so it's best to avoid it) and guests drowning from falling in water when you delete paths. If you're deliberately causing crashes, you don't intend to win in the first place.

Also, ignore the comment below about closing the exit to the park, you need to keep the park rating up to win, and guests who are tired will want to go home, bringing their happiness, and by extension the rating, down. It's not too hard to get a net flow of guests coming in vs out by having good rides and advertisement though.

The hardest part is building good roller coasters in the first place. You'll have to practice it a bit to get a good feel for it. One important tip I can give you is to avoid making a coaster too fast, or turning sharply after a drop, or anything else that would be too extreme of a force on the guest. You can test a roller coaster after it's done with the yellow light, and it's best to test it with one train, in case you didn't predict enough force to make a climb. A coaster that crashes when you are testing it gets stuck with the stigma of a crashed coaster, making it worthless.

Lastly, there is a tutorial on the main menu of the game, you can use that to learn all the basic controls.

Good luck!

One trick I've learned with the pricing of rides is to have it match the excitement rating of the ride. For the most part, guests will pay that amount almost every time. You go too much above that number, they won't ride because it's too expensive. Too far below, and you just won't be making as much money from the ride as you could be.

Ok this is how you build a successfull park

Step 1: Try to get as many visitory into a small space
Step 2: When you think that you got enough people you remove the path that leads to the entrance of the park
Step 3: You now place some shops and a toilets because the people need to survive
Step 4: Its done now but you can add some coasters if you want to

I call it concentration camp
(But you need to add walls for that though)

**anonymous used "*roll picture*"**
**anonymous rolled image**There should be a tutorial in the main menu, if my memory is correct. Also, the Internet.

I still play RCT2 regularly. It's good to chill out.
