• Building: Un-pause and build thrill rides, gentle rides, and one of each stall. Open the park with a $5 gate fee. Lower ride fees slightly if charging an entrance fee.
• Staff: Hire mechanics (ideally one per ride exit) and handymen. Handymen can be set to "Mow the Grass" or have this option unchecked.
