Creating a personal mayor's theme park in SimCity 3000

Contributor/author(s): Kelsey Larson

You're the mayor of a big city, right? Why not enjoy the good life a bit? Here's one way that you can: create a theme park for yourself! Here's how:

1. Find a flat spot, about 20x20, or whatever size you want. Surround your selected area with a narrow moat of surface water, leaving any one tile clear to be used as an entrance.
2. Create a few small hills in the center. These will be the slope for your roller coaster. Make a small 'lake' near the hills if you want, but only if you have plenty of room leftover.
3. Add a train station about three or four tiles from your hills. Using the train tracks, create a roller coaster in the vicinity of the hills and lake. Add many drops and inclines and maybe even a bridge if you want. Surround it with trees, leaving the side of the station with no track on it clear for access.
4. Start a road at a point that's a four tile straight-shot through your 'entrance' and end it three or four tiles into your park. Use the all buildings cheat to add a castle on either side of the road, outside the moat. This adds a bit of the theme we're looking for.
5. Going around the castles and sticking to the outside of the moat, run a road all the way around your park boundaries. Enter the 'pay tribute to your king' code and add the theme park inside to fill it in, if it will fit. If not, invent some rides of your own, like a Kiddy Train Ride, an Autopia with 'Real' Village, you know.

In Unlimited, you could really improve upon this idea with all of the added new features--use BA+ or whatever to create the rides instead!
