Introducing, “Desert Oasis”:
A fairly simple park that costs a boatload of dough.
It’s set on Dynamite Dunes, the second park of the game, which is known for being in the middle of the desert. All the terrain is sand to begin with, but I changed it to grass (hence the “Oasis”). To place grass, it costs $25 a square unit, which is really expensive. You may recall that I have an obsession with flattening all the land in a park to the same height, and that’s what really cost me this time around. Dynamite Dunes has a lot of large hills, but once you get some ad campaigns going and plenty of rides, it was much easier. To add to the oasis feel, I added several gardens, trees, and ponds.
Also, you’ll notice that I have a fence around all the sidewalks, because, even though I know they’re computerized and wouldn’t wander into the grass, I don’t like the thought that my guests could walk onto the grass and climb up the roller coaster supports.
By the way, yeah, I built that huge coaster in the back. No one will ever go on it because it “looks too intense for [them],” but I’m not going to demolish it because I needed to fill some space.
I also wanted to mention that, for some reason, there are a few square units of land in the back of Dynamite Dunes that are not for sale. It’s very odd, because they are right in the middle of my flat, grassy oasis.

My second original Roller Coaster Tycoon park, since I have started playing it again:
It’s set on Ivory Towers. I used the Martian Landscape option, and I randomly scattered Martian objects around. The name of it is “Mars.” Swinging Ships are replaced by Swinging Spaceships. Go-Karts are replaced by Rover Races. Mazes are replaced by Martian Mazes, et cetera.
I have an obsession with flattening all the land in the entire park to the same level, which doesn’t make sense because the surface of Mars isn’t flat at all, but that’s how I make all my parks no matter what.
Ivory Towers is a great park to mess with because it comes stocked with some Roller Coasters a Monorail. So after you demolish all the coasters and rides and sidewalks you’ve got a nice bundle to restart your park.

I’ve been playing a lot of the original Roller Coaster Tycoon for PC lately. I forgot how fun it is, since I haven’t played it since November 2006. I’ve been making a lot of interesting parks like this one:
It’s very simple if you want to make it. If you can’t see how to make it, here’s how:
- First of all, it’s set originally on Forest Frontiers, the first park of the game.
- Get rid of the sidewalk and any trees in your way.
- Lower the ground one dimension all around the area. (You’ll probably have to take a loan out from the bank. Fortunately you can take out a total of $30,000.)
- Raise one dimension of water in the area you’ve lowered.
- Build rides.
Occasionally, you’ll get a notice that a handyman or a mechanic has drowned, which is strange and unfortunate.
Currently I have no loans out from the bank and a monetary total of about $80,000. I have over 1,000 guests in my park. The name of it is currently “Atlantis,” but it used to be “Water Land.” Another possible name is “Flooded Forest Frontiers.”
