Complete the objective chain
- Round up the five alligators. Click them around the logging camp. In the recorded run they were by the camp, the street near the gate, the trees, a shack and another part of the camp. Watch the objective counter reach five before moving on. The separate fast-alligator reward has an unpublished time condition; the video does not prove that merely finding all five earns it.
- Restore the storm-damaged road. Clear the fallen-tree obstruction and reconnect the washed-out gap indicated by the objective. Wait for the road repair to register; the hotel delivery prompt follows.
- Deliver six wood to the French Quarter Hotel. Build the requested road depot, buy a wood-capable cargo wagon, set a line from the logging camp to the hotel's construction stop, and assign the wagon. Watch the hotel's delivery counter reach six. The depot buys the wagon; the cargo line starts at the camp.
- Rebuild the seafood chain. Place the prompted universal warehouse at the port, buy a fishing boat, and run a shipping line from a fishing source to the harbor. The recorded run chose shrimp from Terrytown; the hotel accepts fish or shrimp. Add a cargo road stop by the warehouse, connect it by a truck line to the hotel, and assign a cargo wagon. Check the boat arrives loaded, seafood appears at the warehouse handoff, and the wagon actually delivers it to the hotel.
- Bring tourists back by train and bus. Rebuild the collapsed rail bridge on the Kenner–New Orleans route, then restart the existing train when prompted. Extend the existing New Orleans bus line to Lakeshore so musicians can reach the city. Check the line's stop order and verify the objective advances; an isolated stop outside the active line does not provide the requested connection.
- Run the parade. Create the requested procession line beginning at City Park and following the marked route. Use the indicated next stop or waypoint, then assign the parade wagons already waiting in the depot beside the French Quarter Hotel. The recorded run finishes after the floats take the route.
How to tell the mission is complete
In SeniacTWO's run, the game displays “Mission completed,” awards three stars and unlocks Mission 2 after the parade route and vehicles are set. Use that mission result screen as the success check. The separate fast-alligator special reward should be checked independently; the recording does not establish its time limit.

If progress stops
- The hotel has no wood: Confirm the wagon was assigned to a line from the logging camp to the hotel and that it carries wood, then watch one pickup and delivery.
- The boat reaches port but no seafood reaches the hotel: Check the warehouse, the nearby road cargo stop and the onward wagon separately. Use the ship-to-road transfer diagnosis for loading direction and storage.
- Tourists or musicians do not count: Check that the Kenner train was restarted after bridge repair and that Lakeshore was added to the existing bus line in a usable order.
- The parade does not finish: Recheck the marked City Park route and waypoint, then assign the mission's parade wagons from the specified depot rather than ordinary passenger vehicles.
