1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for downloading the Arid Heights scenario for Rollercoaster Tycoon 2.  This readme details a few notes regarding this scenario.

Most important...if you did not get this file from www.rcttown.com, www.rct2.com, or directly from someone who has played the scenario (via private messages, for instance, or a message board thread talking about the quest somewhere off-site), then it is most likely placed illegally.  Please contact me (see below) to report the abuse.  I do not appreciate my file being hosted by those who don't deserve to host it; namely, those who do not ask my permission TO host it and instead copy it to the site for their own benefit.  I do reserve the right to myself post the file on other public message boards and the like; if I do this, any hosting by the associated site is permitted.

2. INSTALLATION

To install Arid Heights, simply locate the file Arid Heights.SC6 in this archive and copy it to your Scenarios folder (most likely C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2\Scenarios).

The remaining files - including this Readme - are not required (though you may view them at any time).  When you've copied the game file correctly, run the game and locate the scenario under Expert Parks.

3. SCENARIO DETAILS

Free of any financial limits, your challenge is to develop this desert park while keeping the guests happy

Your objective:  To have at least 2,000 guests in your park.  You must not let the park rating drop below 700 at any time!

I copied a savegame from RCT 1 into the editor and also picked up the following information:

Climate: Hot and dry
Initial happiness (average): 70%
Initial hunger (average): 33% (32% here as I could not select 33%)
Initial thirst (average): 37%

4. NOTES

As per usual, I've made use of new objects in the invention list where older ones can no longer be used.  Thus, in this scenario, I've used the Cash Machine and First Aid Room, and they appear in place of inventions previously found in the original scenario that have been changed in some way in RCT 2 (but I am not telling exactly where in the list you'll find them!).

5. TIPS

The only water area (not counting the four-tile version) is on the western side of the park (north being up-right as you open the scenario).  If you want to expand right away and use the water rides, you can do so; since you have no money, stock the long path here with a few maintenance workers (wandering idly) and have at least one engineer assigned to each area, adding more as you build more rides.

6. CONTACT

If you have any further questions regarding this scenario - or wish to report a bug, offer praise, offer criticism, or bow at my feet (your choice) - find me at the RCTTown forums (go to www.rcttown.com and click Forums; my nickname, obviously, is Cyclone).  You can also find me at the rct2.com forums under the same nickname.
