User Guide

A. Brush Size – This shows the size of the
area that you will affect by clicking on the
landscape. Brush size ranges from one
square to a 5-by-5 grid (maximum size in
the Scenario Editor is a 7-by-7 grid). To
increase or decrease the size of the brush,
click the [+] or [-] buttons.
B. Surface Texture (Land only) – Click
and hold this button to display the avail-
able land surface textures. Move your
mouse cursor over a texture and release the
mouse button to select it.
You can toggle a texture ON or OFF by
clicking on it. When the texture icon has
an “indented” look (like a pushed button),
then it is ON, and clicking the landscape or
raising or lowering an area of land applies
the current texture to its surface. When the
texture icon does not have an “indented”
look, you do not apply a new texture when
you excavate.
C. Edge Texture (Land only) – This lets
you choose the texture that is applied to
the vertical edges of excavated land. It is
functionally identical to the Surface
Texture tool, explained above.

Excavating
Reshaping the land to accommodate the roller coasters, trains, paths, tunnels,
gardens, water rides and theme areas comes with the territory, so to speak.To
run the most successful parks, you’re going to have to push some dirt.
Clear Scenery
The Clear Scenery tool allows you to easily remove areas of trees and walls
larger than a single square in size.The Clear Scenery tool works much like the
Land tool (see “Land and Water Windows” below).
First, click the Bulldoze button to open a window
where you can you can choose the size of the
“brush” you will use to alter the landscape, then click
on the landscape to clear all trees, walls, and small
scenery items. Note: This will not demolish large
multi-block scenery, rides, footpaths or signs.The estimated cost is shown below the
grid-size graphic on the window.
Important: Remember that the Clear Scenery
tool is not the only way to remove scenery.You
can also right-click to demolish existing scenery
while using any construction tool.
Land and Water Windows
The Land tool lets you create hills, dig holes, and
change the color and texture of your landscape.The Wa te r tool lets you create
bodies of water — a prerequisite to building some types of water rides.
Clicking on the Land or the Water button opens a window where you can
choose the size of the
“brush” you will use
to alter the landscape.
Only the Land win-
dow lets you assign
color and texture to
the areas you modify.
