Research Points can be used to acquire new coasters, rides and more!

By assigning a Mechanic to a Mechanic Workshop, you'll generate Research Points as long as they're there. The Research tree can be accessed by opening the Research sub-menu of the Park Management menu.

When playing Campaign, your research options are limited depending on the chapter that you’re currently on – however, anything you research will be shared across all over levels.

Research every tech within a chapter to access a repeatable node and spend Research Points to gain that node's unique benefits.

How-To Get More Research Points

Research points are the key to unlocking new rides, attractions and facilities for your ever-growing theme park!

  1. Place a Mechanic Workshop. These can be found in the Facilities section of the browser.
  2. Workshops will have a negative effect on your park’s scenery score so place them away from guest areas or hide them with plenty of decoration.
  3. Make sure your Workshop is accessible to your staff by connecting it to a staff path.
  4. Open your Workshop to start earning Research Points! Your points will slowly accumulate over time, but only as long as you have a Mechanic assigned to the Workshop.
    • A Mechanic will be automatically hired when you open this facility, but you can also assign a Mechanic in the facility info-panel or in the Staff sub-menu of the Park Management menu to cover breaks.
  5. View your available Research Points next to your Park Rating in the bottom-left corner of your screen. Select them to access the Research menu, where you’ll be able to view the research tree and all the available items you can spend your points on.
