Describe the issue

Great Wall of China 2022-09-07 08-45-47
The Asia - Great Wall of China Tourism Enhancement scenario from the Wacky Worlds expansion pack has its initial cash set to $5,010,000, which is extremely high and way beyond the maximum possible initial cash of $1,000,000 and is also very likely an error (it should be $10,000 instead). Because of this, completing that scenario will always result in an unusually high company value above $5,000,000, which shouldn't otherwise be possible in a normal scenario outside of cheats, playing for a very long period of time and earning millions in both cash and park value, or by spamming a lot of ultra-extreme intensity rides to increase the park value significantly.

EDIT (2026/09/13): It appears that all scenarios that are "no money" have this issue where the company value includes the scenario's initial cash setting even though it logically shouldn't. Extreme Heights (RCT2 base game scenario) has this same issue as well, except the company value here is $110,000 higher than it should be since its initial cash value is internally set to $110,000.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Great Wall of China Tourism Enhancement scenario with money enabled, then compare its initial cash and completed company value with the expected values. Investigate how no-money scenarios, including Great Wall of China and Extreme Heights, contribute initial cash to company value. Done means the affected scenarios no longer receive an unintended initial-cash contribution.
