Strategy: Focus on building extensively. Ensure ample shops and stalls, maintain good pathing to avoid overcrowding, and generate steady income. A Vertical Roller Coaster is highly recommended due to its potential for high ratings, capacity, and guest draw, despite its high cost and space requirements. With sufficient funds and space, this ride can be a major park attraction.

Difficulty: 4/10 (primarily due to the high guest requirement).
