Canyon Run

Red-rock mesas split by a deep river canyon. The far rim is prime land: span the gorge, and dive a coaster into it.

The canyon cuts the map in two: only raised walkways on tall supports get guests across.

Everyone said nobody could build a park on Coyote Canyon. The south rim is yours, the north rim is for sale, and between them is a 30-metre drop to the river. Engineers love it. Throw a walkway across the gorge, send a coaster screaming down into the canyon and make the desert pay.

Canyon Run cuts the map in two: only raised walkways on tall supports get guests across to the north rim, and a walkway across is part of the goal. The canyon is also a ready-made drop: a coaster that dives from the rim into the gorge scores the drop goals.

The climate is dry desert heat, with rain turning to sunshine and heat waves in the summer months. The kit has the Mine Train, the Steel Looping Coaster, Go-Karts and the Wild West theme, and the goal is a high park value by the end of Year 3.
