How to Beat Scenario 9 of RCT4M (Roller Coaster Tycoon 4 Mobile)

Scenario 9 of Roller Coaster Tycoon 4 Mobile wants you to increase your park value to $140,000, with three stars if you complete it in 48 hours (and 35 minutes, for some reason). This one is relatively quick and painless, but I'll walk you through how it can be that way.

When you first start the scenario, you get $35,000 coins and a park value of $85,000. So you only really need to increase your park value by $55,000 to complete the game. It's a lot less than it looks initially.

Build 10 Pizza Stands


The cool thing about these value challenges is that food and drink stands add to the value of the park, while also giving you coin to spend to increase the value even further. Start by building 10 pizza stands in the middle area. Once completed, your new park value should be $96,800. Only $43,200 to go from the original $55,000 and  I'm only 5 minutes into the scenario.


Build 2 Octopus Rides and a Ferris Wheel


You can go with any ride you want, but I'm choosing the Octopus rides because they have the most buzz for the least amount of money. They also build in 30 minutes. I'm also adding a Ferris Wheel to use the funds available.


NOTE: DO NOT BUILD THE MERRY GO ROUND. 
The merry-go-round has some obnoxious build time of over an hour. For the 2700 and and the same buzz, build ferris wheels. They build in a couple of minutes.

After the 30 minutes of the Octopus Rides is up, you should have a park value of $118,700, and you're only $21,300 away from ending scenario 9 with three stars.




Always be Building

As the funds come in, try and keep building. The more rides you have, the more coins your pizza stands will generate per minute. Here is a great example:
  • With 10 Pizza Stands plus the park's original stands, I generate 143.9 coins/minute
  • When I add a Ferris Wheel, that jumps to 147.3 coins per minute
  • With the Octopus Rides built, it jumps even further to 160.9 per minute
  • With the three rides, stands generate an additional 17 coins/minute or 1,020 coins/hour
Next I'll add a Chain Carousel. Decent price and less than 5 minutes of build time...Only $14,600 to go after that.


Then I'll add a Ferris Wheel... $11,900 left. 


Over the next hour or so, I'll get a few more in there to finish this one off. Altogether, I've built 7 Ferris Wheels, 2 Octopus Rides and a Chain Carousel....as you'll see, I completed this scenario in just over 2 hours. 



So what do you think? Got a faster method to beat scenario 9 of RCT4M? Make sure to leave it in the comments!
