I just bought RCT2 a couple of months ago. I have A LOT of free time at work, and I thought this would be a good way to pass the time. I had no trouble with RCT (1), nor with the first parks on RCT 2. I've tried probably 20 times to win Amity Airfield, have used hints from online sites, and still don't come close. I keep reading that advertising the park easily brings in 700 people. When I do it, it never brings in more than a couple of hundred, sometimes not that many. Do you just fill the park with dozens of the same ride, so as to run up the number of rides available? Sometimes money is no problem, but generally it's pretty tight, so I can't build the big roller coasters. I've never gotten more than about 1200 people by year 3.

Maximum capacity of a park is determined by number of rides so go ahead and duplicate rides in the park. Also if money gets to be tight, close the park, push them all out the door (block paths with signs so that they exit faster), then reopen the park. Make sure your entrance fee is set high enough. You may have to do that a couple times.

Oh, and don't forget to block the peeps from getting onto the air field and destroy it all at the beginning to get some free money to build with.

Thanks. I'll give it another try tomorrow. All the online helps I've read say this is an easy one to win. If they get harder from here, I'm doomed. I have been clearing out the air field for money and, as I said, sometimes I have quite a bit without borrowing all that much, but usually have to budget pretty tightly.

Don't forget that in each 'section' in RCT2, the scenarios are not easiest to win from the 'top down', it's just that they are listed in alphabetical order!

For example in the "Beginner" section, in my opinion Crazy Castle is the hardest to beat, but it's the first on the list.

[ekimmel]

I would think that Amity is the hardest scenario in the game. It's fairly common for people to ask how to do it and it's the only one people ask about.

Oops this needs to go into the RCT2 section. So moving....

[COLOR=purple]Does that mean advertising is important? If so, for the park AND rides AND food? I read somewhere that building the new rides is advertisement enough. By the way, today I tried again, and failed again, to win Amity Airfield!

[rcthelp]

All advertising will do is get the maxiumum number of people that your park will hold into the park more quickly. So don't be fooled by

I keep reading that advertising the park easily brings in 700 people.

700 people will come only if your park is 700 off its maximum capacity.

Maximum capacity is a function of the number of rides that you have, multiplied by a factor caused by your park rating. So you need lots of rides and good park rating to get the guests flowing in.

One thing that can drop the rating in Amity Airfield is that peeps wander off, and get bored and/or tired and start thinking about going home.

i did say that it could maybe be used for advertising....you can do whatever you want with the money,e.g. making rides...i was just implying you could have more money to advertise your park i obviously dont have all the facts about rct2 because im a starter too, this is just what i try in scenereos
