How to earn Golden Tickets:
There are many ways to earn these shiny tickets. Some of the ways include getting a
huge crowd into your park, or building a very tall rollercoaster, selling a lot of
burgers, fries, etc. Any of these ways will earn you golden tickets. Obtaining these
golden tickets will open secret rides you couldn't reach or buy.

How to earn World of Wonders:
Earn 3 golden keys and this park will be available.

How to earn Space Zone:
Earn 5 golden keys and this park will be available.

How to Earn Golden Keys: 
Every 3 golden tickets you recieve earns you a golden key. There are 5 golden keys
in all.

Pesky Bowling Ball Guy: 
If your tired of that bowling ball guy talking to you every second, go to the Options
screen and turn off the Extra Help. He can be quite annoying.

Extra Cash: 
During gameplay, the bowling ball guy will give you a challenge once in a while.
Challenges are a good way to get extra money in this game. For example, if he says;
"In the next 50 days, try and sell 200 fries..." buy alot of fries shops, and lower the
price, you will win the challenge alot faster. 

Catch Bad Kids Fast:
With your security guards not always patrolling your whole park, it would be wise to
build security cameras in other places so it would be easier to catch naughty children.

Long Line, Bored Kids, What To Do?:
Your visitors will get angry if a line is to long. Hire an entertainer and put them by the
end of the line. The children will cheer up, and have something to do while waiting in
a long line.

Taking Candy...:
On one of your side shows put the price really low and the chances of winning high.
Wait to get a couple of people playing the sideshow game and while they're plaing
put the price up to 10,000 dollars. If the child wins he/she owes you that much
money. 

Happier, Longer-Staying Guests:
Start a small park with four puzzle games close together, two rides, one food, one
bathroom and a gate price of $0. If you set it up so all four puzzle games are within
view of each other, you can do the global price raise/lower for all puzzles while all
four are active (making $40,000 at once). The $0 gate price will get the visitors in
fast. Set the prizes value to $10 and a maximum win possibility. That makes the
visitors stay longer, makes them happy, and play more. 

Get All Satisfied Visitors: 
On your sideshows, put the chance of winning all the way up, and when the visitor
wins, they will give you a thumbs up, and never ever a thumbs down (Make sure the
price is low so they actually play the game.)

*1. Parks (Tells you how many golden keys you need for each park)
*2. Starting parks
*3. Rides (Includes the secret golden ticket rides)
*4. Shops
*5. Sideshows
*6. Features
*7. Making money and losing money
*8. Challenges
*9. Secrets


*1. Parks

You start out in the lobby. The bowling ball guy will ask you to start a new 
game or choose a player that has already started. Go from there.

The parks in SimTheme Park are:

Lost Kingdom
Halloween World
Wonderland
Space Zone

The bowling ball guy will give you a golden key, and you can open two parks, 
Lost Kingdom, and Halloween World, you must earn more golden keys to earn 
the other two. Choose which one you want to open. (I suggest Halloween World 
first.)

Now, once your inside the park, it is empty. The bowling ball guy will help 
you when building paths, getting rides, hiring staff, etc. Overall, he is a 
good helper, although, he can get very annoying. You can press the Escape 
button and go to Options. You can turn the Advisor off. Let's move on to 
Starting your Park.


*2. Starting Parks

One of the funnest parts of the game. Click on an existing path, and move 
the mouse either forward, or sideways(left and right) and you will be moving 
a blue type stream to make a path, click on it, and a path will appear. It 
is very easy once you get used to it.

The bowling ball guy is very good help, but when you are an experienced 
player at this, you may want to turn him off.


*3. Rides

At every park, there is about five rides available to buy. You may notice 
two or three secret "golden ticket" rides highlighted in red. That means you 
don't have enough golden tickets to get that ride. It also tells on the 
screen how many golden tickets you need to earn that ride. Once you have 
enough, the ride will be highlighted in gold.

Here are the rides available in all of the parks.

Lost Kingdom:

Crazy Ape
Belly Bounce
Aztec Mayhem
Rocky Racers

Halloween World:

Insectiside
Jaw Dropper
Putrid Pumpkins
Tentacle Terror

Wonderland:

Bumper Bugs
Candy Coaster
Caterpiller Capers
Flower Power

Space Zone:
Crater Creature
Escape Velocity
The Gravatron
Rock n' Roll

You can get more rides, but you must hire researchers and research new 
rides. There are many more to research, so have fun.

You can also buy the "mystery rides" that are in the 'Buy Attractions' 
screen under 'Buy Rides' Here is a list of all of the secret rides in all of 
the parks.

Lost Kingdom:

Jurassic Tours (1 golden ticket)
Eruption (3 golden tickets)

Halloween World:

Flightmare Tours (1 golden ticket)
Spooky Spider (3 golden tickets)

Wonderland:

Tweety Tours (2 golden tickets)
Dragon Fliers (4 golden tickets)

Space Zone:

I never actually bought the 1 golden ticket ride, yet.
I bought the 3 golden ticket ride once before, but I completely forgot the 
name of it. It looked alot like The Gravatron.
The Aerotron (5 golden tickets)

***Here are the ways to earn the golden tickets.***

1. Getting a crowd of 200 visitors at one time
2. Having 350 visitors in your park at one time.
3. Getting a profit over §10000 in a year(Or more)
4. Having a high level of visitor happiness.
5. Having a very high roller coaster
6. Making a really long water ride.

So far that is all that I have gotten. Remember, if your restart your park, 
you cannot earn a golden ticket if you have already won it previously.


*4. Shops

You start out with three shops in each theme park. Here is the list of the 
shops in each theme park that you start out with.

Lost Kingdom:

Burger Shop
Drinks Shop
Balloon Shop

Halloween World:

Burger Shop
Drinks Shop
Ice Cream Shop

Wonderland:

Fries Shop
Drinks Shop
Ice Cream Shop

Space Zone:

Burger Shop
Drinks Shop
Fries Shop

You can research more shops such as:

Costume Shop (Research this in all of the parks)
Restaurant (Research this in all of the parks except Lost Kingdom)
Steak Restaurant (Research in Lost Kingdom)
Etc.


*5. Sideshows

Sideshows are a cool thing to have. Your visitors love a good sideshow, and 
with that, it's a good idea to put the chance of winning all the way up so 
they are always satisfied. There is a secret to earn tons of money in the 
Secrets Section of this FAQ. Check it out!

Here are the list of two main sideshows in all of the parks.

Lost Kindgom:

Jungle Spray
Strength Bird

Halloween World:

Giant Puzzle
Fortune Teller

Wonderland:

Aqua Spray
Fruit Shy

Space Zone:

Arcade
Giant Puzzle

You can research two more sideshows after that.


*6. Features

Features are the most less important thing in this game. It's there for you 
to decorate your park with neat things such as trees, fountains, rocks, 
flowers, etc. There are many types of features to buy in each theme park, 
and tons to research. There are also things under features that are needed 
such as Staff Rooms, Bathrooms, Security Cameras, Trashcans, etc.


*7. Making money and losing money

If you don't know any secrets to this game on earning money, then you will 
probably have a tough time. Money is hard to keep in this game, so it's good 
that you can take out loans when you are very low on cash. But some loans 
are risky to take, but you do not want a loan with alot of interest. It's 
best to choose the loans with 20% interest. Also, you shouldn't take out 
very large loans because it would take awhile to actually pay them off 
completely. Go to the Secrets Section of this FAQ. and find out a way to 
earn money very fast and not even have to take out a loan, ever!


*8. Challenges

The bowling ball guy will sometimes give you challenges. Some may say for 
you to sell 200 fries in a certain amount of days, or building a specific 
ride and building the certain amount of sections in the track as told. If 
you win, you earn money, and if you lose, you won't get anything. Challenges 
are a good thing to rely on in this game because it's a good way to earn 
some bonus money. If you earn a challenge that requires you to sell burgers, 
fries, or drinks, build alot of shops of that type and you will win the 
challenge in no time! The hardest challenge would probably be the Balloon 
challenge which requires you to have 15% of people holding a balloon in the 
park. You would then probably have to build alot of Balloon Shops, then.


*9. Secrets (Secrets Section)

Here are some secrets I know of this game!

Well, I used to be ok at this game, and very quickly, I would be taking out 
loans, and then I would have to restart my park because I had trouble 
keeping my money! Then I saw a cheat around the internet that gives you 
money, easily!

Here is how to do it:

Build any sideshow. When people come to it, make the price around §20 or so. 
Then while they are playing it, raise the price to §10000. (Make sure the 
chance of winning is all the way up.) Then, when they win, you will receive 
that much money! You can do it as much as you want, and before you know it, 
you will be filthy rich!

Cool huh? When I tried that cheat, I made all of my parks awesome! Now I 
have extremely long roller coasters that fill up the whole park! It's cool, 
I am sure you'll use this technique alot, it's very useful!


Well everybody, I am done. I hope that it helped you with some of your 
questions, and if you have any questions, just e-mail me at this address:

luckycat37@hotmail.com

I recently bought "Sim Coaster" and when I play it, it's very slow. I don't 
know why, does anyone else have this problem, if you do, I would like to 
hear about it so I know I'm not the only one that is having trouble!

                      ***THANKS GAME-REVOLUTION!***
