Every theme park in Planet Coaster 2 is created using a huge range of objects, from the lowliest rubbish bin to the biggest rollercoaster.
The Browser
You can find all objects available to use in your park directly within the Browser at the bottom of your screen. The Browser features tabs allowing you to toggle between:
- Coasters
- Flat Rides
- Tracked Rides
- Flumes
- Pools
- Facilities
- Staff
- Scenery
Within these tabs you can choose to Create Custom i.e. place your own individual objects or select a pre-made Blueprint. Learn more about Blueprints in our Blueprint guide.
Placing an object from the Browser is incredibly simple. All you need to do is select your object of choice and then the object will appear in your park, ready to be moved with the Move Tool.
Move Tool
This simple all-rounder tool allows you to adjust the height, orientation and scale of the selected object.
You can use Move Snap and Angle Snap to set fixed intervals for an object's position or orientation.
- Global Snap allows you to move an object relative to the entire park.
- Local Snap allows you to move an object relative to its own current orientation.

Advanced Tools
The Advanced Move Tool can be opened from the Settings panel of a selected object or in the Radial menu to give you more precision in how it is placed.
The Advanced Move Tool allows you to choose between each specific axis, and move your object into the perfect position. Just like the normal Move Tool, you can also choose to snap by fixed amounts.
You can also use the Advanced Rotate Tool and the Advanced Scale Tool in the same way for more precise rotation and scaling.
How-To Rotate an Object
Rotating an object in Planet Coaster 2 only takes a few steps:
- Select the object you want to rotate.
- Use the Move Tool, Advanced Rotate Tool or shortcuts to rotate the object until you’re happy.
Duplicate
The Duplicate function can be used to make copies of objects and Blueprints. You'll find the Duplicate option via the Object/Blueprint menu and also in the Radial menu.
Once Duplicate is selected, the Object/Blueprint can be duplicated repeatedly without needing to repeat the selection.
Demolish Brush
The Demolish Brush is a quick and easy way to delete Scenery, Rides, Paths and more.
Filters can be changed to control the size of the brush and what will be deleted. For example, a large brush could be created that only deletes scenery.
The Area Mode allows for quicker large-scale changes, while the Pointer Mode gives more precision.
How-To Delete an Object
There are a few options for deleting object in Planet Coaster 2, either individually or with the Demolish Brush.
To delete individually:
- Select the object you want to delete.
