I ' m high and laughed far too long after reading this . Here ' s an upvote my friend . <| sep |> Let the bodies hit the floor <| sep |> Premature exit for de Kock <| sep |> You shouldn ' t really ever have to market , or at least I had no trouble on any scenario without having to market . No new guests in the early game Typically this means that you spent too much on items that won ' t give you a direct profit . In the beginning of every park you will be fairly money starved , so it ' s very important to spend that money on things that will make money . So avoid adding scenery , themes , too many paths , and even shops until you start turning a profit . Basically you should be fine building nothing but ground rides or maybe a super small roller coaster until you focus on anything else . No new guests in the midlate game Simply put , you should get net positive guests when your park rating goes up . If you are not gaining in park guest count , it means your park rating has plateaued , or worse has been dropping . Check out the park rating info on the management screen . If dropping , check if you have any major complaints from your guests or staff , or any rides that are costing money to run . If your rating has plateaued , you need to build new rides or improve something to get that park rating higher Scenery won ' t help enough to be worth it . If you don ' t have money , you have to check to see what ' s costing you so much and trim it out . Check shops and rides , and if nothing seems too bad , you might have to fire some employees .
