Frequently Asked
Questions
Welcome to the RCT Station Frequently
Asked Questions section. Over the course of time, we've been
asked a ton of questions. Some seem to come up far more often
than others. This section is our collection of Frequently
Asked Questions. The contributors of this section is far too
many to list. The entire RCT community had a hand in this.

Finances
| 1. |
How can I calculate
park value myself |
|
You cannot. The manual
is very "wooly" about how park value is calculated.
You can find out what the park value is by going to
the Finances window. |
| |
| 2. |
How can I increase
park value |
|
You need to do two things.
Spend money and increase your park rating. Park value
is the "value" of all your rides, shops, stalls
and scenery multiplied by the park rating. The value
of your rides etc. becomes less over time. It begins
by being greater than or equal to the amount of money
you spent on it, and then goes down over time. |

| 3. |
My ride/shop/stall
is losing money. What can I do. |
|
You have several options.
Which is best depends on how you like to play the game
and/or whether you have to try and meet looming scenario
objectives. This is a complex subject, and a page dealing
with the various options that you have can be found
at this
link. |

| 4. |
Can I become bankrupt
in a scenario |
|
Yes and No. You can find that you have no (or negative)
cash, you cannot increase your loan, and you are losing
money every month. However, the game will not end
the scenario early, and will carry on running until
the time limit is reached.
If you find that you are in this financial position,
there are a number of ways you can try to recover:
- Close loss making rides. Rides have no running
costs when
they are closed. Try and find out why they are losing
money. This link
will help you to make them profitable again
- Demolish any scenery theming (but not trees).
This
increases your cash, but lowers your park value
- Increase park entrance price, especially if guests
are
commenting how cheap it is!
- Increase ride prices, especially if guests think
that
they are good value
- Increase shop prices, especialy if lots of guests
are
hungry and/or thirsty
- Sack some of your staff to reduce your wage bill
- Stop funding research. What's the point of research
if
you have no cash to buy the new inventions?
- Sell rides/shops/stalls. Use some of the cash
to build
cheaper rides, some to get the park rating up higher
if
it's low, and if it's not low advertise for more
guests

How do I stop from
going bankrupt. |
|
There is some help on
this subject on the web site. If you don't have any
money left, and you cannot borrow anymore, basically
you have 2 choices. First hire lots of staff to clean
the park and mend the rides so the rating goes up and
people will come to the park and spend money. Second,
demolish rides that people are not riding and use the
money that you get to build something else. Don't go
mad spending loads of money on rides at the beginning
if there's no-one in the park to ride them. Build a
few things, watch for the green arrow in the status
bar that says loads of people are coming, then don't
build anything else until the green arrow goes away.
Put the park entrance fee up by between 5 and 10 for
every ride you build, put it up every time the guests
comment that it's cheap. If you prefer to charge for
each ride check the peeps thoughts to see which rides
they think are really good value, and put those prices
up. I usually double the price that RCT gives to each
ride when you first build it, then start to lower it
when the peeps start to think that they will not pay
so much to ride. |
