Alright, we're diving into Part 16 of our RollerCoaster Tycoon adventure! This section covers two scenarios that can be a bit of a step up in difficulty, so let's get you prepped.

Strategy for Barony Bridge

This one can be a bit tricky because you're starting from scratch with limited initial ride options. The good news is your loan is pretty substantial, and you'll likely need to max it out to get things going. Think of building your rides and stalls on the same level as the bridge, much like you did at Big Pier. Keep an eye on your park boundaries – since there aren't any fences defining your land, be careful not to build coasters too close to the edge of what you can develop.

If you're struggling to hit that 1,200 guest goal towards the end, don't hesitate to run some advertising campaigns. A 'Half Price Park Entry' special can really boost your guest numbers and bring in some much-needed cash.

Goal: Achieve at least 1,400 guests by the end of October in Year 3, with a park rating of 600 or higher.
