Rollercoasters are what define your park. That means you'll want to build
the best Rollercoasters possible. But because of the high costs involved,
you don't have the money to build a failure. So this is here to help you
achieve the pinnacle of Rollercoaster building, excitement rates of 6+.

Introduction
============
When you choose to build a coaster you are given a choice screen, here you
can choose to 'Build a Custom Ride', to build the games default rides, or
any you have saved/downloaded. If you choose either the second or third
option, you will have to select a location for your Rollercoaster, use the
zoom out option to get a better idea of where to put it, and the directional
change button(in the window) to change the direction of the Rollercoaster.
If you choose to build a Custom Ride, you will have to select the station
location, and build on from there, adding climbs, drops, loops and this,
that, and the other. Also, when choosing to build a pre-designed ride,
you can click the camera icon to see a picture(254x200 pixels) of the ride.
This is very helpful to see what the ride looks like.

Search Field: ii-b
-  Try to build your Rollercoasters with a medium Intensity Rating, almost
every guest will go on these rides. Rides with higher intensity ratings
attract a lesser crowd, but people will still go on them. Lower intesity
rides also attract a smaller number of guests. Try and keep the rating
to medium.
-  The excitement rating of your Rollercoaster is what attracts people to
your ride, but if the intensity rating is Ultra-Extreme, you are unlikely
to get many guests on it. The higher the Excitement Rating the Better!
-  The nausea rating of your ride will not effect how many people go on
it, but will determine the way they feel getting off. The lower the
better, for this one.
-  The above rules are general rules, but try to build at least one Extreme
intensity Rollercoaster(for the wild ones) and one low intensity one
(for the scared ones).
-  When you build a coaster first price it high, then over time lower the
price to keep a steady number of guests, and still make a profit.
-  Always build benches at the exit of your more intense rides.
-  Try and build toilets near the exits of the Extreme/Ultra-Extreme Rides.
-  Never build shops near a rollercoaster, a guest with a low nausea rating
going on a high intensity ride with a full stomach isn't good for your
path.
-  Acoording to the game manual, you should build low intensity rides near
the Rollercoasters to make guests get up the nerve to go on your
rollercoasters, personally I don't see the effects of this, but it could
work.
-  Scenery and cross-overs/unders add to the excitement of a ride.
-  Going underground also adds to the excitement of a ride.
-  Duelling rollercoasters(ones side by side which are synchronised) increase
the excitement of both coasters.
-  You can only synchronise rides if they are going the same direction and
if their stations both end side by side.
-  You can synchronise more than two Rollercoasters, in one park I have
eight(8) synchronised coasters(all synchronised with each other, not
four groups of 2, just one group of 8)!
-  Make sure you have enough handymen to clean up peoples dinners after an
intense ride.
-  Most Rollercoasters are not popular when it's raining, but ones with
roofs or covered-in cars are.
