Eventually every game of RollerCoaster Tycoon becomes about saving money so you can build something big. I played Forest Frontiers from Year 1 to somewhere around Year 7 before I really had access to money and it was somewhere around Year 9 when I was earning faster than I was spending. My plan all along was to buy all of the available land but that's an expensive thing to do. I kicked the land-buying can down the road a few times. While I was doing that I decorated and improved the land I already owned, including adding a small lake.

I planned to make a stream that connected my watering hole to the one on the hillside that I intended to buy. Once I started buying and occupying the land that leads to the hillside lake I felt like the park was done. The land constricts up that way. If I bought the lake I wanted to keep it open and attractive, not cover it with a ride. As things unfolded my paths that lead to the lake felt like they logically concluded. I have the money to buy the lake, but it feels like it'll be forced to build around it. I decided to not purchase that land and call my park done without it. I stopped playing towards the end of Year 11.
