Volcano Island

A jungle island around a dormant volcano, with steam vents, a glowing crater and a mountain that rumbles now and then (perfectly safely, the geologist insists).

The cone is far too steep for paths: reach the rim by cable lift. Tycoon-strict guests, a big loan, and the Great Rumble draws crowds.

Mount Kahuna has not erupted in four hundred years, but it still grumbles: the vents steam, the crater glows red at night and every so often the whole island hums. The tourists love it. Build a jungle park on the lowlands, run a cable lift to the lookout on the rim and put on a show for the Great Rumble.

Volcano Island is the hardest Premium map: tycoon-strict guests, a big loan and the largest map in the game. The volcano rumbles in stages, and from the fourth rumble on, every one is a Great Rumble that draws crowds at night.

The goal needs a ride up at the crater rim, reached by cable lift because paths can’t climb the cone, with a big crowd and a high rating. The climate is tropical, and the kit has the Log Flume, the Mine Train and the Jungle Adventure theme.

Volcano Island is a 88 × 88 tile map of a jungle island round a volcano, played on the Tycoon setting, with the weather tropical: hot, with sudden showers. You start with $15,000 in cash and a loan of $20,000 at 10% interest, and the bank lends up to $50,000. Its water is protected: it can’t be filled in. Research starts with a budget of $300. It comes with Park Baron Premium. On Tycoon, rides wear half as fast again and guests are harder to please.
