CREATING A MAPTOP-TIPS AND GUIDANCE

WHEN IT COMES TO BUILDING YOUR THEME PARK,THERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT RULES TO BEAR INMIND:

YOU MUST USE THE KEY PROVIDED TO SHOW THEAMENITIES - DO NOT MAKE UP YOUR OWN!

YOUR MAP WILL LOOK BETTER IF YOU COLOUR INLIGHTLY USING PENCILS RATHER THAN USINGFELT-TIPPED PENS

YOUR THEME PARK ENTRANCE WILL NEED TO BEAT THE SIDE OF THE MAP!

YOU MUST LEGALLY INCLUDE SOME TOILETBLOCKS AND YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST 1 TOILETBLOCK FOR EACH RESTAURANT / CAFE

EACH PARKING SQUARE CAN ACCOMMODATEENOUGH CARS TO ALLOW 100 VISITORS TO VISITYOUR THEME PARK. SO IF YOU ONLY HAVE 10PARKING SQUARES, THE MAXIMUM DAILYNUMBER OF VISITORS IN YOUR PARK WILL BE1000.
