Wooden Rodent Roller Coaster
In Bumbly Beach (Works in most but Bumbly Beach it does best) Build both Wooden Rodent Roller Coasters and have both of them with very long quire paths. That will bring in a lot of people to those rides and then when the quire line is filled raise the admission price to them to $1.00 (if you have admission price to the park if not still raise it $1.00). You can make a fortune!

Raise Park Rating
It may seem weird, but drowning an unhappy guest or two can raise your park rating. To drown a guest, make sure your park has a pond or lake. If it doesn't, make one. Click on the unhappy guest, click on the tweezer thingin the popup window, and click on a place where there is some water!

Log Flumes
In most places when you put in a Log Flume it is very popular, and people will start crowding in through the lines. Price them around 3.00 and bring it down as it ages. You will make alot of money off them.

Un-freaky Coasters
Drops, speed, banked curves and helixes are what make a coaster scary. Inversions, corksrews and in line twists for example, add little to a coaster's freakiness. So when you are happily designing Red Rocket (or whatever your coaster is called), don't make too many drops and things where as everybody will say regurgitate their lunch, but put in only a few drops and add as many inversions as you like.

Ride Popularity
If guests are not going on a ride, do construction and replace the first part of the track. Put the same pieces in, after that re open the ride & guests should go crazy for the "new" ride. The ride will be popular again. (Just keep doing this if it runs out of popularity again.)

Make More Money On Rides
Put in a ride that attracts alot of guest. (mostly good rollercoasters.) Have a long quire line and have it reeally cheap. After alot of people are in line raise it up to about 10$-15$. Don't raise it to high or they will stop riding it. The line will go down and then take the price low. When the line gets bigger raise it back up again. Repeat it and you will make a good bit of money.

Flying Guests
This cheat is only for fun and does nothing for your park. If you want to make guests fly then you have to tap the pick up button repeatedly and very fast. If you do it correctly your guest will start rising from the path but beware as soon as you stop pressing the button the guest will start falling.

Higher Altitude On Rides
To get your altitude higher on rides, raise the land under the supports you want to raise, because the supports are to high, this will make them higher. Note: this also adds negative g's and makes the ride scarier.

Kill People Without Really Killing Them
If you don't have any underground paths, you need them to make this hint work. People are walking on the paths. Then, delete the square piece of path under them. They will fall and fall and fall. You will see the number of people in your park go down significantly. This is way faster than drowning them, and you don't have than annoying thing at the bottom say "Guest ---- Has Drown.

Very Good Rides
If you what a ride which is popular, makes money and will make guest ride over and over. Build the Steel Roller Coaster, Shuttle Loop in a big space. Than build another one, But build the loop the other way. The rides should start next to each other and at the loop they go different ways (with 2 spaces between). Than build a path with bench's on, build it thought the loop's. have a price of £1.50 and have the rides run at the same time (use the bottom button on the operation options). Try to do the same with rides that have loops and have power launch mode (put if on 40 and the same high.

Red Head
This is just for fun. You make a que line in a square that has four boxes so it is closed off. Then you find a person(mad works best)and pick him up with the pinchers and drop him in there (notice how they're all guys).Then you wait for a while and he'll either get really mad and his face will turn red or get really tired. It doesn't always make the face turn red. What you could do to add to this is if he is really hungry or thirsty you could put a drink or food stand next to him and raise the price high. Make sure he has that much money. And don't make it to high cause he won't pay for it!

Money Managing
ONLY... get a loan if you have less than $800. Otherwise your park rating will be bad. Pay off your loan once you have $4000. This sounds rediculous, but it helps from all those notices that say you don't have enough money to build anything. ALSO... one thing that helps to build a good park... make everything in your park free. than add up the previous costs of the rides that you just made free. Then divide that sum of prices by the number of rides you had. You will get an average. REMEMBER... at this point, all rides and attractions are free. Add the average answer that you got to your park entrance fee. This will be a reasonable and attractive price for park entry.

Rides Fixed Faster
Put a mechanic at the exit of each ride. Set his patrol area to only that exit so when that ride breaks down they will be there.

Quick Cash
To get lots of money fast, build 2 or more coasters next to each other that can do loops. Build 4 station platforms, then make the rest of the track nothing but a powered launch into loop or 2 then return.It's short fast, and are always popular for me. Charge 3 to 4 dollars per coaster like this, and rack up the money. Good luck, and get lots of money!

Train Warp
First build a train. When your building the train make sure!!! you build two stations. When you are done building the train go to one of the stations. Check if the is someone waiting in line. If there is click on him. Now put his stat box which you got from click on him in the corner. Now click on the entrance to the train. When you do that it should show a stoplight and a picture of the station. Move that a little to the side which now let you see him waiting in line. Now start pressing the green, yellow, and red buttons on the stoplight. Keep clicking on them untill you see the person disapeer. Then look at the persons stat box. If done correctly you should see the guy at the other train station walking away. This will make the guy a little unhappy but you could just name him melanie warn to make him happy.

Flaming Shuttle Loop
Make a shuttle loop. Make sure it is fast enough to lift off the track. When people get on it will go so fast it will lift off the track and burst into flames. WARNING! This will kill the guests.

Stop Roller Coaster Crashes
To stop your roller coasters from blowing up sometimes when they are pulling into the station platform, put brake pads as the last piece in front of the station platform that slow the roller coaster down to 4mph. This will prevent station brakes failure.
