Building a Thriving Theme Park from Just One Ride: Roller Coaster Tycoon

TLDRIn Roller Coaster Tycoon, I set out to build a theme park based on the profits of only one ride. After several attempts, I discovered that the most successful ride was an air powerered coaster. I built a park around this ride and achieved great success, but it wasn't enough to meet the scenario objective.
