Build RollerCoaster Tycoon Volcania Coasters

AntMag.NET

Alright, welcome to Part 33! This section is all about a really cool scenario called Volcania. It's a bit of a departure from just building the biggest, best park. Here, the challenge is all about taking existing, partially built roller coasters and finishing them up just right. It's a great test of your design skills and how well you can make a coaster exciting!

Difficulty: The guide rates this one a 6/10. It can be tricky at first, especially since you don't get that sweet gate income like usual. Plus, the terrain itself can be a bit of a headache. But once you get the hang of the specific goals, you'll be golden.

53. Volcania

Description: You're dropped into a park set inside a dormant volcano. Pretty neat theme, right?

Goal: Your main objective here is to finish building all 5 of the roller coasters that are already started in the park. You don't just have to finish them, though – each one needs to hit an excitement rating of at least 6.70. That's the magic number!

Starting Rides

You begin with 5 roller coasters that are already partially built. You can't change what's already there, only add to it. Here they are:

Roller Coaster 1: Wooden Twister Roller Coaster (partially built)
Roller Coaster 2: Steel Roller Coaster (partially built)
Roller Coaster 3: Suspended Looping Coaster (partially built)
Roller Coaster 4: Suspended Roller Coaster (partially built)
Roller Coaster 5: Steel Wild Mouse Roller Coaster (partially built)

Scenario Details

Starting Loan: $15,000
Maximum Loan: $20,000
Starting Staff: 0
Land Available to Buy: No
Construction Rights Available to Buy: No
Starting # of Guests: 1
Park Open at Start: Yes

The real fun of this scenario is that you're not chasing park value or guest count. Instead, you've got these 5 coasters that are works in progress. Your job is to complete them, making sure each one hits that 6.70 excitement rating. There's no rush, no time limit, which is a huge relief. This means you can really take your time, plan out every turn, every hill, and every loop to maximize that excitement. Each coaster type has its own quirks, so you'll need to get creative to make them shine.

The catch? You probably won't have enough starting cash to finish all five coasters right away. That's where building a strong, income-generating park around these centerpiece coasters comes in. You need to make money so you can afford to complete all five and meet the scenario's goal.

Difficulty: The guide revises this down to 4/10, mainly because the lack of a time limit is a massive help. If you can build up your park's income effectively, you should find this scenario quite manageable.

54. Arid Heights

Description: This scenario throws you into a desert park with no money worries, but you've got to keep your guests happy and your park rating high.

Goal: Aim for at least 2,000 guests in your park. Crucially, you cannot let the park rating dip below 700 at any point. That's a tightrope walk!
