WARNING!
If you want to complete this FANTASTIC game by yourself then DO
NOT read on.

Introduction:
This is for all those who are a little bit stuck and need
additional tips on the game. I can give you tips up until Bumbly
Beach, then you're on your own!

Forest Frontiers
Rating: 600 | Guests: 250 | This done by: October, year one.

This one is the easiest one, you can also pass on the tutorial.
First of all, chop down all of the trees (the get really
annoying later on). Next, you can either build a monorail or
start dividing your park up into sections. When building a
monorail be sure to put it near the entrance and call it
something like 'Forest Frontiers Tours.' Build it as close to
the edges as possible, people like fast rides in the middle.
Remember though, time is money and this takes up time. Dividing
your park up is an attraction to the guests. Try to divide it up
into things like 'Roller Coaster World' or 'Penelope Panda's
Kids World.' If you're doing a Roller Coaster World, do it at
the back of your theme park, where guests will visit last. This
has a good effect as they will spend half their day in penelope
panda's kids world and just as they want to go home they see the
Revenge Coaster and their face brightens up.

Dynamite Dunes
Rating: 600 | Guests: 650 | This done by: October, year three.

This theme park has only one ride, Dynamite Blaster. It's
actually very good but Guests soon become bored. You start off
with no staff either so hire some quick. It might be a good idea
to close the park and then start work. First of all, you need to
straighten out the ground. If you run out of money take a loan
from the bank but only take out 5,000 at the most. If you need
more money, open your park for a short period. When all the land
is straightened out you can begin construction. Start with some
small rides like slides and position them near the front. Then
start building rides suc as swing ships and more Roller
Coasters. Be sure to place Food and Drink stalls so guests don't
leave to eat or drink. A thing that you must do is place toilets
so people don't leave to go to the loo.

Leafy Lake
Rating: 600 | Guests: 500 | This done by: October, year three

First of all build a ride (a Roller Coaster would be good) on
water or land. Secondly, (even though it seems a lot of work)
get rid of all the trees except the willows. If you run out of
money, trying to get rid of the trees then open your park. Once
you have enough money, close it again and start getting rid of
the trees. keep this up until all the trees are gone (except for
the willows). Now, to the left, there is quite a large amount of
land. You need to raise or lower some of this to make it all
even. Then you are free to build loads of Roller Coasters or any
other rides in that space. Don't forget to use up some of the
water to place rides and the aera around the lake. Place, drnk
stands, food stands and toilets frequently.

Diamond Heights
Money: $20,000 | This done by: October, year three

This is already a thriving theme park and land is scarce. Follow
their example by building rides over water and chop down most
trees to make space. There is free land covered in trees around
the sides and once you get ride of the trees you are able to
build many rides. Check the prices, and raise and lower them to
attract guests. Place attractions and food/drink stalls which
bring in money by the second. Straighten out land slopes which
may be small but can hold rides like merry-go-rounds and slides
which may be vital.

Evergreen Gardens
Rating: 600 | Guests: 1,000 | This done by: October, year four

This park is absolutely massive and cutting paths will help.
You'll have to destroy some of the scenery (well, a lot
actually). Don't destroy all of it though, this may result in
bad ratings. Build rides over water as that may be one of the
only spaces around. You've got lots of space so destroy and
build. You may have to make some sacrifices such as destroying
plants, bushes and trees. Any sapce available at all, you'll
have to place a ride. Land is precious in this one and it
doesn't come easily.

Bumbly Beach
Rating: 600 | Guests: 750 | This done by: October, year two

This park is very small and from past experience (pssst! look
away now if you don't want to know what happens in the future of
this park!) I have found out that there is a crash on the Big
Dipper. To avoid bad publicity click on the stats button and
make the maximum waiting time for a full load 5 secs (at least
you're safe!). You need another Roller Coaster to attract more
people so build a metal or wooden one. Place small rides to fill
up gaps and that's all you really need to know.

Additional Information:
You may start off with no staff so it would be best to hire two
of each. For entertainers make sure to change their costumes by
clicking on the hand button, guests get bored of a panda all the
time. For Handymen give some of them territories, perhaps on the
path of a very fast ride's exit so they can clean up the vomit.

Enjoy the great game!

Very pleased with the help given by your staff. They explained technical details in an easy way and were patient when providing information to a non expert like me.
Wonderful...
