Safety Warning
About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain
visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even
people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition
that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered
vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of
consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking
nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—
children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following
precautions:
• Play in a well-lit room.

for becoming the ultimate zookeeper!
Creating Marine Exhibits
For step-by-step instruction on building a marine exhibit, see the
interactive Marine Mania tutorials.
In-Ground and Above-Ground Tanks
Unlike for land exhibits, in marine exhibits you can
control the height of the tank walls and the elevation
of the bottom, allowing you to create a variety of
tanks for different sizes of animals.
After you place the tank, you can raise and lower
the tank walls and tank base using the Modify Tank
tab on the Exhibit Information panel, which you can access by clicking the
tank’s platform.
Draining Tanks
Tanks are filled automatically when you create an exhibit. If you need to
drain the tank, click Drain/Fill Tank on the Exhibit Information panel.
Salinity
Marine exhibits have a few more variables to keep track of than other exhibit
types. Although the water defaults to salt water, you can drain the tank and
refill it with either salt water or fresh water.
Marine Specialists
Your zookeepers are great for elephants and tigers, but
they’re in over their head when dealing with the special
needs of marine life.You can hire marine specialists from
the same place you hire zookeepers and other zoo staff,
on the Hire Staff panel.

Creating Marine Exhibits
Filtration
You need to keep clean water in your tanks—dirty water will
make your animals unhappy. Purchase tank filters by clicking the
Fences tab on the Construction panel. Marine specialists also
clean tanks, but it keeps them from other tasks, like running shows.
Remember that your filters can break down. If you see one sitting idle,
get a maintenance worker on it right away.
Combined land and water exhibits
One of the advantages of Marine Mania is that not only can you create tank
exhibits for marine-based creatures, but you can add a tank exhibit portion
to a regular land exhibit for any animal that enjoys a good swim. Construct
combined exhibits by building a tank exhibit adjacent to or within an existing
land exhibit, making sure the animal can get into the water. But make sure
that your animals can’t climb out the other side of the tank and escape!
Hiring the Appropriate Staff Member
In Marine Mania, you’ll notice that some animals and dinos who love
water require zookeepers or scientists to care for them instead of marine
specialists. Refer to the following table to determine which staff member
you should hire to care for each animal.
Zookeeper
Scientist
California Sea Lion
Emperor Penguin
Hippopotamus
Northern Elephant Seal
Pacific Walrus
Polar Bear
Saltwater Crocodile
Deinosuchus
Giant Tortoise
Plesiosaurus

CREATING AQUATIC SHOWS
CREATING AQUATIC SHOWS
For step-by-step instruction on setting up a show, see the interactive
Marine Mania tutorials.
Everyone loves seeing a dolphin jump through a hoop or an orca perform a
spectacular breach. Marine Mania gives you the ability to have your marine
animals perform and make additional money for your zoo.
Adding an Advanced Trick Area
Performing animals need a specific area set aside in their show tanks where
more advanced tricks are performed. Purchase an advanced trick area by
clicking the Show Objects tab on the Adopt Animal panel.
Adding Show Toys
Some tricks will only be performed if the animal has
the required toy. Purchase toys by clicking the Show
Objects tab on the Adopt Animal panel. Toys cannot
be placed in the advanced trick area.
Constructing a Show Exhibit
To set up a marine show, you’ll need to construct a show tank where the
animals will perform. Show tanks have their own special walls, which you can
purchase on the Construction panel just like all other walls in Zoo Tycoon.
Show tanks must be constructed alongside an existing exhibit tank—when
you construct the show tank, a portal will be placed between the two. The
animal will live in its exhibit tank but will swim into the show tank for its
scheduled performances.
Purchasing a Show Animal
Not every animal wants to be a star. Only five animals perform shows in
Marine Mania. These animals are designated by a star next to their icon on
the Adopt Animal panel.
Great White Shark
Orca
Bottlenose Dolphin
Sea Otter
California Sea Lion
Purchasing a Grandstand
Setting up Performances
Now it’s time for the script! When you build a show tank, a program will
be scheduled automatically.You can adjust the performances for maximum
effect using the Show Script panel, accessed by clicking a grandstand or the
feeding platform in the show tank exhibit. Remember that you make more
money the more shows you have, but it will make your performers unhappy.
FREQUENCY
Change how often the
animals will perform.
ADMISSION

admission price.
POTENTIAL BENEFIT

your guests may be with
this sequence of tricks.

Creating Aquatic Shows
Note that all tricks have a minimum depth level of two, four, or eight units.
Your show tank will default to eight units deep, sufficient for all tricks, so be
careful before you reduce tank depth!

New Features
The Zoo Tycoon double expansion pack introduces new features that
make it easier to maintain exhibits and control zoo objects.
Assigning Maintenance Workers to Tasks
You can now assign maintenance workers to carry
out specific tasks. To do so, click a maintenance worker,
and then click the Assignments tab on the Staff
Information panel. Select assignments to have the
worker carry them out; clear the check box to remove
the assignment from the worker’s task list.
Moving Guests
Find you’ve got a pesky guest who’s wandered
out into the middle of nowhere? Pick up
guests in the same way you pick up
animals. Click the guest you want to
move, and then click the hand
icon in the Guest Information
panel to pick up the guest. (You can also doubleclick guests to pick them up.)
Viewing completed research
Check out the research you’ve
completed by clicking the
Completed Research tab on
the Zoo Status window, which
you can access by clicking your
entrance gate.
Special water buildings
Some new water-themed buildings in
the Zoo Tycoon double expansion pack
require being placed on terrain water tiles,
such as the boat rental shack, tame dolphin ride,
and swim shack.

NEW FEATURES
CREATING DINO EXHIBITS
HIDING ZOO OBJECTS
Welcome to Dinosaur Digs!
For an unobstructed view of your exhibits, use the toggles in the
lower-left corner of the screen to hide or display various objects
throughout your zoo.
Now that you’ve got dinosaurs running around in your
zoo, there’s some things you’ll need to know.
Eggs
Hides or displays:
foliage
guests
buildings
SORTING
Using the drop-down menus at the top of the Construction, Adopt
Animal, Structures, Hire Staff, and Research/Conservation panels,
you can view only original Zoo Tycoon content, Dinosaur Digs content,
Marine Mania content, or all three at once.
Instead of adopting a full-grown animal, in Dinosaur Digs
you adopt dinosaur eggs.
To adopt a dinosaur
Click Adopt Animal and select your dinosaur on the
Creatures panel. When you click the dinosaur icon and
move your mouse to place it in the game, you will see
a dinosaur egg.
Note: Select the gender for your
dinosaurs using the male and female
buttons on the Adopt Animal panel.
BUILDING MANAGEMENT
To determine the revenue generated by your food stands, composting
facilities, and other profitable buildings, click the Commerce Building
List tab in the Zoo Status window. The Zoo Status window can be accessed
by clicking your entrance gate.
Scientists
Total profit
Arranged by most to least profitable.
Average profit

Zookeepers aren’t trained to handle the special needs of dinosaurs.
Instead, hire scientists and assign them to exhibits the same way
you would a zookeeper. The scientist will tend the egg until hatched
and feed and care for the animal after it hatches. For information on
assigning zookeepers and scientists to exhibits, see the Zoo Tycoon
manual.
Research
Funding research is vital to ensuring the continued health of
your dinosaurs. For information on funding research
and conservation, see the Zoo Tycoon manual.
Building type
Alphabetized by type.

PROTECTING GUESTS
TECHNICAL SUPPORT OPTIONS
You can attract a lot of guests with dinosaurs, but it won’t
do your zoo rating much good if an Apatosaurus escapes and
clears the parking lot with one fell swoop of its tail.
For all of our support offerings, visit http://microsoft.com/support/.
In Canada, visit http://microsoft.ca/support/. To get started, try the following:
• For articles targeted at specific issues, visit the Microsoft Knowledge Base
at http://microsoft.com/support/.

Dinosaur Recovery Team
Even the best-laid plans (and fences) sometimes fail. Accidents
happen (how else would one of your dinosaurs escape?), and when
dinos escape you’ve got to get them back to their exhibits—quickly!
That’s where the Dinosaur Recovery Team (DRT) comes in.
Microsoft’s support services are subject to then-current
prices, terms, and conditions, which are subject to change
without notice.
To capture escaped dinosaurs, purchase a DRT
and place it in your zoo. You can purchase a DRT
on the Hire Staff panel.
When a dinosaur escapes, the DRT will tranquilize the dino.
Hopefully a scientist is nearby to put the dinosaur in a container,
otherwise it might wake up! Once contained, return the dinosaur
to its exhibit. Just make sure all your fencing is intact first.
