What’s a theme park without the people?
Both Guests and Staff will require some wrangling to keep happy and working well.
Guests
Guests are looking for your theme parks and water parks to give them the best day out ever, so there’s a lot you need to do to help keep them happy.
You can find an overview of how effectively you’re satisfying your guests’ needs in the Guests sub-menu of the Park Management menu.
Learn more about guests, their needs and moods, in our Guests and Keeping Guests Happy guides.
Staff
Staff keep your park running, doing everything from operating rides to clearing up rubbish.
You can find an overview of all your staff members, including their Status, Salary and Morale in the Staff sub-menu of the Park Management menu.
Learn more about Staff, their schedules and functions, in our Staff and Keeping Staff Happy guides.
Weather & Seasons
New to Planet Coaster 2, you now need to contend with the weather and the seasons as you run your park.
In the bottom right of the screen you'll find a Weather Forecast. This helpful tool will tell you the current weather, what weather is coming up today, and what weather is coming up over the next 2 days.
Weather will have different effects on your guests – for example rain will cause your guests to seek cover and sunny weather can cause sunburn. Guests will be more inclined to navigate towards different attractions based on the weather. A coaster in the pouring rain isn't very appealing, but a sunny swim in the pool might just hit the spot.
Did You Know?
Different Seasons and Biomes have different weather patterns, so some weather will be more or less likely depending on when and where your park is.
You’ll need to keep the weather in mind when building your park, ensuring that your guests have enough access to shelter, umbrellas and suncream. Learn more about the effects weather can have on guests in our Keeping Guests Happy guide.
