- PATH PLANNING
- -------------
-
- This is a simple concept but fiendishly difficult to put a good plan into
- action. It's all to easy at the start of the game to be tempted to lay paths
- anywere and everywere.
- Then, an hour into the proceedings people are banging into everything and
- getting lost and wandering the wrong way through exits, wandering the wrong
- through exits.
-
- If all this happens you may as well start again, but with a little
- forethought this need not happen.
- Planning is the key to the overall success of the whole theme park but the
- pathways are the vains that carry the blood supply around so concentrate
- on getting it right first time.
-
- Initially just lay the minimum of paths needed to get people to your rides
- and stalls, Theres no point in getting congested early on in the game.
- As the park begins to build up, start seriously thinking about using the
- one - way arrow system.
- Be extremely careful to examine every section of the path that joins a
- section with a one - way arrow on it.
- It`s very easy to slap down a couple of markers and inadvertantly close
- off the only access route to your star attraction.
-
- If used correctly arrows can be an efficiant of method moving the little folk
- around sections of the park they may not normally go to by choice, like that
- expensive novelty shop.
-
- Another vitally important feature is the signposts. Be sure to signpost your
- exit, toilets and all your best rides so that people who want to take
- advantage of the facilities can at least find them.
- Dont have people running arround dying for a pee, and try and keep a super
- toilet near each gut - wrenching ride so that people can get there quickly
- if need be.
-
-
- STAFF
- -----
-
- These have to be people who will smile in the rain, wont mind having kiddies
- tormenting them, and who know everything about the running of the buisness.
- Entertainers are there to keep people happy but you have to keep them happy
- too.
- If an employee`s morale is low because of low wages or whatever, then you
- wont get the best out of them and they will not be as entertaining as they
- should.
- At this stage you have two options, the first of which involves sacking the
- perpitrator and bringing in fresh enthusiastic blood.
- The second is to hand out a nice pay rise and hopefully get a bit of
- appreciation for being a nice boss.
-
- Entertainers aside, it is obviously vital to get enough handymen to keep the
- park tidy and clean, and mechanics to fix all your knackered rides.
- Keep em well paid and they will fix more and clean more.
- If the worst comes to the worst and your guys are threatening a walkout then
- haggle for a short while, but under no circumstances let them walk out.
-
- You cant afford strike action as it will cripple your park so even if you
- have to backtrack and risk making yourself look stupid. Make sure you get
- an agreement at all costs.
-
-
- THOUGHTS
- --------
-
- Keep a carefull eye on the thought bubbles that appear above the punters
- heads as these are a fine indication of the mood of the people.
- Try to respond to a problem if there are a lot of people with the same
- thought.
- For example, if they think your cola is to expensive, thats easy to sort
- out.
- Trickier problems to solve are when the people are just unhappy with what
- there getting full stop.
- It may be that your rides are not exiting enough, or that they find the
- park scruffy and uninviting.
- You will have to judge this mood for yourself.
- Fixing sutch problems can be genarally more expensive.
- If people think your park is boring then the only way to fix it is to put
- more thrilling rides in and they dont come cheap.
- Its's a vicious circle that you would be better not gettin involved in in
- the first place.
-
-
- MISCELLANEOUS TIT BITS
- ----------------------
-
- Keep your visitors happy by keeping them well fed and watered.
- People are less likley to complain if there bellies are full.
- Price the goods carefully because if people decide not to buy them because
- of the cost then they will be unhappy because they feel that they are being
- off and also because they are hungery.
-
- Operate on the principal of "If they have the money in there pockets, its
- yours for the taking".
- They have brought it to spend it, so get it off them in places like novlety
- shops, burger bars and of course your oh - so exiting rides.
-
- For gods sake get your toilets cleaned regually. Filth is bad for buisness
- and if the word gets round that your park is unhealthy custom will drop off
- and you will get little men with clipboards arriving to check things out.
-
- Finally, and this is the point we started off with, plan everything.
- Think a couple of rides ahead.
- Leave space for decorations like trees and walls.
- Wall of your bigger rides so that little kids cannot wander around the danger
- areas.
- Everything like this improves your position in the rankings.
-
-
-
- Have fun with the game.........
