Every little detail matters! But it has never been simpler to completely make-over a ride and transform it into something fantastic to wow your guests.
The amazing default Blueprints in Planet Coaster 2 are perfect for quickly building a theme park. However, if you’ve got a specific theme in mind, the customisation options are endless to build your dream park, using scenery pieces, special effects sequencing, or even simply recolouring your favourite rides and flumes!
How-To Customise Rides
Find all the tools you need to personalise your coasters, rides and in one handy place.
- Navigate to your chosen ride’s info-panel and select the Customise sub-menu.
- Select which aspect of your ride you want to change, from Music and Cosmetic Colour, to adding special effect Event Sequences and attaching scenery pieces to your coasters.
- Once you’ve finished customising your ride, simply exit the Ride info-panel and marvel at your unique coaster!
Did You Know?
If you want to change your flume piece type after you have built it, you’ll need to edit it.
You can swap out enclosed slides for open sections, or even make them transparent.
Learn more about how to edit flumes in the Flume & Pool Building guide.
Customisation Tools
These helpful, creative tools are found in the Customisation sub-menu of a ride's info-panel.
- Attaching Scenery – Adding scenery pieces to your rides improves their theming and increases their prestige, keeping guests entertained for longer!
- Music – Create atmosphere for your guests as they queue and whirl around on your coasters by adding music from Planet Coaster 2’s extensive collection. You can even save your favourite tracks so they’re easy to find later!
- Ride Sequence – Flat rides can also have their sequences customised! Have a carousel spin in the opposite direction every third time around or add in a thrill inducing wait at the top of a drop tower.
- Trigger Sequence – Special effects like snow fall, pyrotechnics and jets of water can add that extra bit of sparkle to a standard coaster.
- Cosmetics – Different rides will have different areas you can adjust the cosmetics for. For example, for coasters, you can change the colourway of the tracks as well as the cars. For flumes, you can change the colours of your slides to create eye-catching attractions.
How-To Add Scenery to Rides
Creating a theme for your rides adds that all important finishing touch to your perfect theme and water park.
- Navigate to a ride’s Customise sub-menu in the info-panel. Select Attach Scenery.
- Select Add Objects. This will open the full selection of scenery pieces available to you in the Create browser.
- Now you can choose any scenery pieces to attach to your rides! You can adjust the placement settings for these decorative objects including the scale and how it snaps to surfaces.
- Once you have finished adding your creative flair to your ride, select Done next to the Editing menu to complete your customisation.
Did You Know?
You have loads of creative freedom when attaching scenery. Use the brand-new Twinning and Symmetry tools to quickly and easily customise your coaster cars.
The Twinning setting allows scenery to be duplicated automatically.
The Symmetry setting allows you to easily place duplicate scenery in symmetrical locations.
Ride Prestige
Prestige applies to all your rides, and it reflects their overall quality. Prestige increases with a number of things, including the scenery and theming of your rides. The more you customise your rides, the higher your Ride Prestige will get be.
Prestige also applies to other attractions like Pools and can be boosted in a similar way with scenery and Pool Extras.
