Strategy: The 'Castle' park offers a unique setting where you can build rides on the park boundary walls. Be sure to block off access points to the wall path to prevent guests from getting lost. Utilize the sizeable loan to build a few good coasters and perform landscaping, which will help attract guests and likely recoup the investment. With the initial ride selection and research options, achieving 1,300 guests is feasible, but maintaining clear paths is crucial.

Difficulty: 5/10
