Three years ago we were introduced to a concept many of us could have only dreamed of ? being an amusement park manager. Chris Sawyer has given us yet another installment of this dream job. Boasting an improved game engine, better graphics and sound, and a lot more tools and options, RCT 2 is the Tycoon of the Tycoon games. Manage your park properly, and your bank account will flourish, but if your idea of fun and excitement is watching your patrons puking as soon as they exit the ride, you will have utter chaos on your hands.

Fortunately, IGN Guides is here for you, as always, to provide you with the knowledge to turn your mediocre parks into something that will actually turn a profit. In this online guide, you will learn how to not only beat the scenarios, but create your own scenarios, and build tracks in the new roller coaster designer. Keep all hands and feet inside as we depart the station?

You can have more than one person with the same name by changing the capitalization of the name's letters. Example: There can be four Chris Sawyers in your park if one is named Chris Sawyer and the others chris sawyer, CHRIS SAWYER, and cHrIs SaWyEr.

Rename your guests for some more non-sequitur remarks.

Andy Hine - Has gibberish after getting off a ride.

David Ellis - Has gibberish before getting on a ride.

Enter John Mace as a patron's name and he will pay double for everyhing.

Rename a guest with the name as noted below to get the desired result.

• Chris Sawyer -- Will take pictures of your rides
• Simon Foster -- Will paint pictures of your rides
• Melanie Warn -- Increases the guest to completely happy
• Katie Brayshaw -- Will wave to everyone she meets
• John Wardley -- Says "Wow!" when he sees (or is on) a good coaster
• Damon Hill -- Races around twice as fast on the Go Karts
• Michael Schumacher -- Works the same as Damon Hill, but a little faster (and NO you can't race Damon and Michael!)
• Mr Bean -- Will drive VERY slowly on the Go Karts

To raise your scenery just press the SHIFT key and you should be able to drag your scenery up or down.

Raise the prices of all the rides in your park to their excitement rating. For example if the excitement rating is 8.27 you should charge them $8.30. (Round up) Guests will never think you ride is too expensive. NOTE: This trick wont work for certain rides such as cinemas or dodgems so you should either demolish them or lower the cost 10-50 cents. Make sure that all your rides have been re-priced this way or guests will only go on that ride.

If you put a sign saying no entry, on the other side of the entry no people can get out but people can enter the park.
