These individuals may suffer a seizure while watching images or playing certain video games. This may happen even if the person has no medical history of epilepsy or has never had any epileptic seizures. If you or any member of your family has ever had symptoms relating to epilepsy, please consult your doctor prior to playing. We also advise parents to monitor the use of video games by their children. If you or your child experience any of the following symptoms: dizziness, blurred vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of consciousness, disorientation, any involuntary movements or convulsions while playing, please stop immediately and consult your doctor. Precautionary measures: - Please sit a reasonable distance away from the screen, as far away as the length of the cable allows. - Play the game on as small a screen as possible. - Do not play when you are tired. - Please ensure you are playing in an environment that is well lit. - Take a minute break for every hour of gameplay. What is the PEGI System?* The PEGI age-rating system protects minors from games unsuitable for their particular age group. PLEASE NOTE it is not a guide to gaming difficulty. Comprising two parts, PEGI allows parents and those purchasing games for children to make an informed choice appropriate to the age of the intended player. The first part is an age rating: The second icons indicating the type of content in the game. Depending on the game, there may be a number of such icons. The age-rating of the game reflects the intensity of this content. The icons are: For further information visit and pegionline.eu * PEGI ratings and guidance applicable within PEGI markets only. 3

4 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Recommended: CPU Dual-core CPU (Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 or better, AMD Phenom X or better) and SSE2 GPU nvidia GeForce 280 GTX or better, ATI Radeon HD4870 or better 512 MB Video RAM, DirectX 9c, Shader model 3.0 RAM 4 GB Minimal: CPU 3 GHz Intel Pentium D, AMD Athlon and SSE2 GPU nvidia GeForce 8600 GT or better, ATI Radeon X1800 or better (Minimum 256 MB Video RAM, DirectX 9c, Shader model 3.0) RAM 1 GB Installation Insert the Adventure Park CD into your CD/DVD drive. The menu which appears automatically gives you several other options besides installing Adventure Park, for example visiting the developer website. To begin with, select Install Adventure Park and follow the instructions. If the program does not start automatically, double-click the file AdenturePark_Setup.EXE in the CD directory. 4

5 VISITOR EXCITEMENT Your parkês visitors continually express their wishes and criticisms, and also voice them in the attractionsê guestbooks. By selecting a visitor or an attraction, you can view the expressed opinions in the information menu at the bottom-right. Even the symbols above the visitors can give you hints as to which areas of the park are still lacking. Only park visitors with a high excitement level can ensure that your park will become a success and earn an additional star for attractiveness. A park with more attractiveness stars will then attract visitors with more stars, i.e. those with a higher demand for attractiveness. A visitor with two stars will want facilities that also have at least two stars, and will avoid facilities with fewer stars. You should therefore always make sure that you have enough facilities available in the park with a sufficient number attractiveness stars. ItÊs also possible to select many of the facilities and furnish them with superior features in the upgrade menu. This is another way of increasing the facilityês number of attractiveness stars. PARK GUESTBOOK AND PARK RATING Upon leaving the park, visitors will leave a final rating in the park guestbook. You can view the park guestbook by clicking the Park guestbook button in the top menu.high excitement levels of your visitors in the park guestbook also increase the park rating. A high park rating also improves the chances of your park receiving an additional attractiveness star, unlocking new build options. However, stable finances are also part of a good park rating. So make sure to also keep an eye on your parkês finances as well as the excitement levels of your guests. 5

6 TRACK CONSTRUCTION Some facilities, such as roller coasters, allow for the free construction of tracks. Following the construction of the station building, you can add and extend a track by dragging the mouse, and set it by clicking the mouse. You can also continue building it later on. To do this, select the station building or the unfinished track and click the Add track button in the information menu at the bottom-right. Climbs and drops Click and hold the left mouse button and drag upwards to build up to a higher level. Drag the mouse down to come back down to a lower level. In doing so, you can build a track with climbs and drops, which create higher G-forces when on the ride. 6

7 Completing track construction A track has to finish up at the station building again before it can be fully functional. Therefore, once you have finished building the track, move the mouse to the station building and complete track construction by clicking on it. Ensure that the track does not lead to the station at too crooked an angle, otherwise the track will turn red and cannot be attached. YouÊll receive corresponding tips during construction in the information menu in the bottom left. G-forces and adrenaline rushes Only high enough G-forces can satisfy the most demanding passengersê adrenaline rush needs. When building a track, make sure you include steep climbs and falls and sharp turns. But donêt overdo it. The visitors can only take a certain amount of G-force. Exceeding this limit can lead to physical injury. More information on which G-forces are in effect on your rides, and what the visitors like and dislike, can be found at the bottom right of the information menu when you click on the visitors, the cart or the ride. You can also increase the propulsion speed of a ride there. That is, the minimum speed at which the carts travel at. 7

8 STAFF Making sure your park runs smoothly requires the appropriate personnel. Gardeners keep the plants beautiful and fresh. Cleaning staff keep the paths clean, and mechanics take care of the maintenance and repair of rides and machinery. So employ enough gardeners, cleaners and mechanics, and distribute them as evenly as possible throughout the park. Mechanics have a special status: Facilities with a higher number of attractiveness stars can only be maintained by mechanics with a corresponding number of stars. Staff members only ever work within their green work zone, which is displayed when you select a staff member. Ensure that staff membersê work zones do not overlap with staff of the same type, otherwise they might get in each otherês way and end up taking unnecessary detours. You can move personnel, or expand and reduce their work area, by selecting them and using the corresponding buttons on the bottom right. 8
