Mission Completed in 3 days
3 days was all luck day 1 where i got over $50 with a good hang time and decent elevation. I was able to buy all 3 rockets and 2 parachutes plus get to 5,5 launcher, band. Day 2 gave me enough to max all ups.....
best results with elevators: Stairstep them 4 floors at a time. The guest only complain if they have to wait, not on how many they take, so force them to use 10 lifts to go each way to top floor and they will give you 3 thumbs up. Just make sure to have enough staff elevators or they will waste all their time on travel. Currently have 287 standard, 178 suites and 140 presidential with an 860 rating!
the key to the 50k is that after your air tricks and you switch to glider, you need to continue holding up. With just the 4 air tricks and the glider you take a 5x bonus on a 6 or 7k trick pretty easy. With groupies, that will already take you over 50k. Hitting the shuttle and some ground vaults can easily put you over 100.
and they continue to post the stupidity, 3 is the max you can get....
dubesor has it right. To get the max, go low and start with a freaky and then 3 thrust. It will put you higher than ever. Be carefull cause this makes the timing on the floats harder since you fall VERY quickly. I can't say I can do 9k consistant with this method, but you can get over 7k without even having a full powerup. highest i got was only 8900
