Part 19

Master the art of gentle rides in RollerCoaster Tycoon Part 19! Learn how to attract guests and boost your park rating with relaxing attractions in Gentle Glen.

Alright, let's dive into Part 19! This section is all about mastering the art of gentle rides, which is super important for attracting a wide range of guests and keeping that park rating high. We'll be looking at two scenarios: Gentle Glen and Jolly Jungle. Don't underestimate the power of a well-placed gentle ride – they can be just as crucial as the biggest, scariest coasters!

Gentle Glen

In Gentle Glen, the locals are all about relaxing experiences. Your main goal here is to have at least 1,200 guests by the end of October in Year 3, with a park rating of 600 or more. The difficulty is rated 4/10, so it's not too tough, but it does require a focus on what the guests want.

You've got a good starting selection of rides, including gentle options like the Cycle Railway, Haunted House, Ferris Wheel, Hedge Maze, Merry Go Round, Car Ride, Cycle Monorail, Spiral Slide, Boat Hire, Miniature Railroad, and Chairlift. You also have some basic thrill rides and roller coasters like the Wooden Side Friction, Steel Mini, and Single Rail coasters, plus a Swinging Ship and Log Flume. Make sure to build a few of these gentle rides first to start drawing in the crowds. The Ghost Train, Bumper Cars, Observation Tower, and Car Ride are excellent choices for this park's clientele.

While the focus is gentle, don't be afraid to add a couple of smaller roller coasters or a water ride. Just remember the rule of thumb: try to keep the intensity and nausea ratings below 5.5. Anything higher, and your guests might get scared off. Building these gentle attractions strategically will help you reach your guest goal within the three years.

Jolly Jungle

Next up is Jolly Jungle, a scenario where you've got a big chunk of land to work with deep in the jungle. Your objective here is to have at least 1,600 guests by the end of October in Year 4, with a park rating of 600 or higher. This one has a slightly higher difficulty, especially if you're not used to building gentle rides, but it's definitely manageable.

In Jolly Jungle, you start with a few gentle rides like the Haunted House, Car Ride, Spiral Slide, Boat Ride, and Miniature Railroad. You also have access to some basic roller coasters and thrill rides. The key here, just like in Gentle Glen, is to lean into the gentle rides to attract a large number of guests. Consider researching and building more gentle attractions like the Chairlift, Suspended Monorail, Observation Tower, Hedge Maze, or Merry Go Round to cater to your guests' preferences.

Don't forget to also build some shops and stalls to keep your guests happy and spending money. A good mix of Ice Cream, Drinks, Candy Apples, and other food stalls will go a long way. Remember, the goal is to keep those guests coming and happy, so focus on building a variety of rides that appeal to everyone, with a strong emphasis on the relaxing options.
