Building Coasters
Use track pieces to build smooth coaster paths. Test rides before opening — crashes hurt ratings.
Lift hills need enough speed for loops. Bank turns so trains don't derail on sharp corners.
Guest Management
Guests need paths, restrooms, and food shops. Long queues reduce satisfaction — add parallel rides.
Place benches and shade near popular rides. Happy guests spend more and return.
Income Tips
Balance thrill and family rides to attract all guest types. Shops near ride exits capture spending.
