This is a tough scenario. Have you thought about closing the park, flushing the old guests out and then selling, borrowing to buy land and rebuild? It’s such a long time frame might not be able to keep from going negative
+Escape And Break Yeah, if I had expanded into the hills I think I'd have had less issues with falling guest numbers. Or I could have just renewed all my flat rides each year. I got Barony Bridge ready for editing, I've got the finished park as my channel graphic if you want a sneak peek, built a cool new Möbius woody on it.
Thanks Stu! Love your videos! This one has me worried, looks tough. I'm thinking of running another coaster in and out, along the same footprint of the wooden one. See if I can keep good interest, not drop the price too much and not take up additional space.
For some reason when I was playing the park in OpenRCT after 2 1/2 years my park rating just started dropping like a rock, and I have no idea what caused that. Clearly this Harbor is "Haunted".
It happened to me on year 3 with another scenario as guests got clustered in one part of the park and refused to move. To make things worse, their mood soured greatly and my park rating plummeted. I had to reload the game to avoid this, and was able to beat the scenario
They're not in a great position in this park. Like he ended up moving the ferris wheel into the corner by the coaster. Gentle rides are mainly for guests who don't like intense rides, and many are covered, so guests will ride then while it's raining. Both the ferris wheel and merry go round increase your soft guest cap by 45, which is decent for a flat ride. The swinging ships each increase it by only 35 and the small coasters increase it by 50-60. Large coasters like the looping and corkscrew coasters increase it by 90+. In that way, you can think of 2 flat rides attracting as many guests as a single coaster.
