=================
=1. Introduction=
=================
This game is a great simulation game however; there is no 
comparison to Roller Coaster Tycoon. I did not make this 
guide because I wanted cash; I made it because it's a great 
game. Before I get started I'd like to say READ THE 
INSTRUCTION MANUAL! I will not go into detail about things 
if they're covered in the game book. We are going to get 
started on the levels right away. I hope this strategy 
guide comes in handy for you! Oh yeah if you have any 
questions or comments please e-mail them to [email protected]. 
No e-mail will be ignored.

====================
=2. Version History=
====================
01/03/01 Version 0.3
I only have one level. Next version I should be adding 
Halloween World.

01/26/01 Version 0.6
I added the level Halloween World. Next version I should be 
adding the rest of the guide. 

01/31/01 Version 1.0
I've completed the guide today and fixed a lot of things. I 
hope this guide comes in handy for you and look for more 
Sim Theme Park FAQs coming soon.

04/15/01 Version 1.1
I'm going to redo this guide; I had to update this time to 
correct some grammar.

04/28/01 Version 2.0
I guess I will not re-do this guide for several reasons. 
You can use this guide as a beginner guide if you want 
because that's mainly what it is. If you really want a good 
guide on this please buy the Prima Guide.

=================
=3. Lost Kingdom=
=================
The level starts out with a description of the park. The 
theme in this park is Dinosaurs or the Prehistoric Ages. 
Immediately hire staff (about 2 staff members per job) and 
build a staff room then build the following:
2 rides
1 sideshow
4 bathrooms
1 drink shop
1 food shop 
4 security cameras

Place these items in the front of the parked scattered. 
Earning the first golden tickets and keys should be very 
easy. 

MUST HAVES:
Aztec Mayhem
Eruption
Jurassic Tours
King Of Swingers
Roller Coaster (of any type)

A lot of theme.
 
This should be a very easy level if things get to out of 
hand or if you have -$12,000 or less than quit. It isn't 
really necessary to set your staffs patrol areas in this 
level. You also don't need to upgrade rides to different 
levels. Take loans out when necessary.

====================
=4. Halloween World=
====================
After getting tired of Lost Kingdom and you earn a Golden 
Key or two go here. This is one of the parks you can enter 
right away. The park starts out with a description of the

request a lot of rides.)

This should be an easy level if things get to out of hand 
or if you have -$12,000 or less than quit. It is necessary 
to set your staffs patrol areas in this level. You need to 
upgrade rides to different levels in this park since the 
rides are what count most in here. Take loans out when 
necessary.

================

===============
=6. Space Zone=
===============
This is a fun level so don't be stressed out about it. Go 
all out and have fun!

=========================
=7. Why are they needed?=
=========================
These are the most important things in the game. These are 
the reasons why they are needed.

===========
=7a. Staff=
===========
Handymen: I don't think you want your messes just to lie 
there unattended to, clean it up!
Entertainers: Your Park would be a bore without them.
Mechanics: OH NO! A ride broke down what are you going to 
do? Call and mechanic and fix it they can also upgrade 
rides.
Researchers: Without them you would have no more new 
attractions.
Guards: Your Park would be thief and stink bomb city 
without them.

===========
=7b. Rides=
===========
You obviously need rides. The game is called Sim Theme Park 
after all.

===============
=7c. Bathrooms=
===============
You better know why these things are needed. :|

===========================
=7d. Restaurants And Shops=
===========================
If your guest were hungry or wanted a souvenir where would 
they go without these things?

======================
=7e. Security Cameras=
======================
Your crime rate will greatly decrease with some of these.

================
=7f. Trash Cans=
================
Unless you want garbage everywhere (which you don't) you 
need a few of these.

===========
=8. Cheats=
===========
You don't know how many rumors I've heard with all these 
cheat codes. Simple answer...there are none. I'll give you 
the cheats anyway if you don't believe me.

Unlimited Cash: Press backspace and in all caps write 
GIMMECASH.
Put the game on pause then type demo then you can enter one 
of the following codes.
Ctrl+z= All rides.
Alt+z= All shops.
Shift+z= 50,000 cash.
I haven't found any codes for the Playstation version yet.
These are all fake codes I have found. Try them for 
yourself if you don't believe me.  

===============
=9. Tips R' Us=
===============
A couple tips for you.
1. Start from the front of the park and your way back.
2. Build bigger rides towards the back.
3. You don't have to make all rides themed.
4. Don't open the park until you build at least 5 things.
5. Don't open the park unless you have staff.
6. Make sure you have all things on the why are they needed 
list.
7. Publish the park online if you think it's good.
8. Visitors = Golden Ticket = Golden Key
9. Save often.
10. Have fun!

==================
=10. Online World=
==================
In the online world you can visit other people's parks as 
well as publish your own. You must register at 
www.simthemepark.com though first before you can do this. 
There are also chat rooms. A very good feature.

================
=11. Conclusion=
================
Not much of a conclusion except I hope this guide comes in 
handy for you. I really hope you use it and feel free to 
print it. Again any questions or comments should be e-
mailed to [email protected]. No e-mail will be ignored. Well 
see yeah.
