Your attractions and facilities will need maintenance to keep them running in the long term.
Keeping an attraction regularly serviced by a Mechanic will give you the green Serviced badge, this will ensure it doesn't breakdown. If a ride is not serviced frequently enough, Ride Condition will start to deteriorate permanently.
Critically low Ride Condition can lead to breakdowns and require repairs.
Ride Condition can only be permanently restored with a Refurbishment.
While a ride is shut down for repairs or Refurbishment, your guests can’t access it! You’ll need to judge when to complete repairs in order to keep your park running, but without interrupting the fun of your guests.
Some facilities, including generators and water pumps, also require maintenance. Failing to service these facilities will result in a Condition Penalty, making them less efficient. Fail to service them enough and this can lead to a breakdown, shutting the utility down entirely.
As with rides, the only way to permanently restore the condition of a utility is to complete a Refurbishment.
