Zoo Rating - ?

[mystik]

Hello!
Please excuse me if I am interrupting.  I would introduce, but I see many familiar faces here  But let me know if I need to say a better netiquette Hi!!!

I am having trouble with Surf and Turf Scenario.  I completed it once before, bvut now I have my own game and I am re-doing.  the others have been simple...up to endangered specues, but that is another topic...

I have added my dino in this scneario.  The guests seem happy.  The animals are.  All exhibits above 85%..most high 90's.  Last try I tried adding another dino, but went broke quickly!  A few guests are hungry, thirsty, etc.  :rolleyes  (eg 5 out of 300) but I cannot get above 81 in my zoo rating.  This landscaope is tough...much terrain leveling top build any exhibit, so $$ is tight.  Any thoughts?  

You have a fantastic site here.  I got lost on my way, via ZooTek - lol   - but it is nice to see you all.  Thanks again for all your hard work here...and there!

Take care...have fun!

Yeah, Flower Beds Help. Just Make The Zoo Pretty, What You Think Would Be Pretty, Im Not Sure If You Do the Money Cheat, But If You Do, Get The Houses (E.g. Primate House) And Also, The Japanese/Chinese Gardens. They Boosted Mine Up, Its tricky Yeah, But Keep at it, Practise I Geuss Good Luck My Friend, Feel Free To PM Any More Questions?

I'm having the same problem.  Except I already have a japanese garden, flowers all over the place, 2 restaurants, lots of animal houses, a boat rental, swim with the dolphins, 2 dino exhibits, 3 marine exhibits and a regular exhibit.  I'm stuck at 84% and it's driving me nuts!  My zoo is like 6 years old!  I'm going nuts!  I've done all the research, too.  I just can't get those guests happy.  All my animals are in perfect exhibits and are really happy, but those guests are impossible.  I even tried increasing the price of admission so that as many wouldn't come into the zoo.  Help!!!

If you're tight on money, try putting a compost building at the very back of your zoo, or where guests won't be able to see or smell it.  It is a great moneymaker.

If you need your ZR to only go up one or 2 points, and you have a bit of money to spare, complete some research even if you don't need it.  Part of your ZR is based on this, and sometimes all you need in a scenario is to complete those and it will get you over the top.

As for guests, try to make sure that wherever they are walking, they are they are seeing animals as much as possible.  Happy Animals=Happy Guests
It's also a good idea to use only restaurants instead of food courts, bathrooms and trash cans don't make a good impact on guest happiness.  Same thing with elephant rides.  I find the best attraction seems to be the carousel.

Aeris - I would recommend not putting the boat rental or swim with dolphins.  They don't seem to make alot of money, and guests are usually tired when the come out, in turn making them unhappy.  You might want to put a carousel or animal theatre in instead.
