Business, gentlemen!

Park design
Slow down the speed of the game when designing the park. This will allow more time to allocate attractions and pavilions. Try to reduce the time that visitors spend while moving from one attraction to another. For example, place attractions on the sides of one alley. Put pointers so people know where they are. Try, that interested persons always could see the index to interesting to their attraction.At the entrance, sell the balls. Arrange the fireworks. Reduce the cost of tickets. Plant the trees along the paths. Trees and lakes are an important element of the park. The rehabilitated park will allow you to claim a reward. It is not bad to provide entertainment near the entrance to the park and in lines for rides. During the rain, you can give umbrellas. If rides break too often, and employees are beaten, it is necessary to hire a guard.
Attractions
When placing attractions, consider that the entrance and exit in the park can vary. Large attractions can be found in the depths of the park. This will allow visitors to spend money in the shops, going through the park. Equal attractions should be located far from each other. Serviceability of attractions is provided by mechanics. Obsolete attraction is better to change to a new one than to repair.
Shops and stalls
Correctly placed stores and tents are one of the most important sources of income. But we will have to deal with the supply of goods and cleaning the territory of garbage. Keep track of the stock in the stores. To maintain the rhythm, take an inventory. Develop a system of pre-orders. Watching the demand, choose the best prices. Try not to place nearby tents of the same type. Control the cleaners so that they do not leave large areas uncleared. To cleaners have always been on the tracks, pinpoint where they should work. In the doors of shops, put doormen, and the flow of visitors will never dry out.
