Want to know how to build a roller coaster in Park Beyond? Roller coasters are an essential piece to your Park Beyond build – you can’t have an amusement park, of course, without a few spine-chilling rides. However, building a coaster from scratch is a bit more of a challenge than snapping a prebuilt coaster element into place. Luckily, we’re here to help you realise your coaster dream and create an incredible experience for your park visitors.
Building a Roller Coaster in Park Beyond
Building roller coasters in Park Beyond is just one part of the ultimate theme park management game. With the ability to build your own park from scratch and customise everything from food stalls to bathrooms, it can be overwhelming, especially if you don’t have a specific vision in mind. We’re here to alleviate that and take you step by step through the rollercoaster building process.
How to Build a Roller Coaster in Park Beyond
Place a platform: Click on the platform tab on the left-hand side of your screen and locate your available platforms. For your first coaster, each park has three standard platforms. You can build your coaster on any of the three.
Choose your coaster type: There are three types of roller coasters you can choose from: Standard Coaster, Wide Coaster, and Wild Mouse.
Find prefab roller coasters: After placing a platform, you can find prebuilt roller coasters in the ‘Prefab’ menu. Prebuilt coaster elements like loops, hammerheads, and corkscrews can help speed up your coaster building process.
Test ride your coaster: Be sure to test your coaster to ensure it’s safe for your visitors. Click on the lower right-hand corner of the screen, where the button is circled in red, to prevent any accidents. You can also pause the test ride, should you need more time to make adjustments.
Create your track: To begin your coaster, you’ll need track. There are four types of track available to build your coaster: Normal Track, Chain Lift, Brake, and Train Merger.
Adjust your track placement: In addition to choosing your track type, you can customise your track placement using the up and down arrows on the left-hand side of your coasters. This will allow you to change your coaster’s height, yaw, pitch, and roll, allowing you to make even the most dynamic track layout.
Place track placement settings: On the right-hand side of your coaster, you can also view your track placement settings. The default settings will build a roller coaster from one platform to the other. However, this doesn’t help add any fun or interest. Choosing ‘Tunnel’ will allow you to hide track from guests. If you want to appear more professional and organised, selecting ‘Remove Supports’ will remove any questionable track that you might want to hide.
Add modules: Modules are an important part of your coaster, as they will provide fun elements to your ride, such as cannons, ramps, forks, and springs. Most modules have speed requirements, so be sure to test each portion to ensure the safety of your park guests. If a section is simply too intense, hiring paramedics can help treat guest nausea. When you build a coaster from the ground up, these modules will snap into place into the track you build.
Hire staff members: Finally, you can hire staff members to help visitors enjoy their roller coaster experience. Food vendors, janitors, and ride attendants can all affect guest satisfaction, which affects how much money they spend in your park. You can hire staff members before or after you build your coaster, so choose hooks that fit your coaster design to maximize guest satisfaction.
