We’ll show you how to build your own coasters, whether it’s a ride for all ages or a more extreme attraction just for teens and adults. From the initial stages to testing and opening the ride, we’ll help you create your own coasters and wow your guests in Planet Coaster 2.

How To Use The Coaster Builder

To build a coaster, you’ll firststart by opening the coaster menu, then select the create custom option. This will bring up a larger menu thatshows all the coaster attractionsavailable to you.

You canunlock more ridesby researching them!

Select the coasteryou want to build, thenplace the corresponding stationin your park. This is where the ride begins and where guests will enter and exit. From here, you may start building your coaster.

To build your coaster, you’ll need tobuild momentum and move the carsaround the track. There are several types of track pieces you can use, including:

While these are the most common pieces,each coaster is differentand may have specific track pieces unique to it.

With the track pieces at your disposal, you cancreate steep climbs, breath taking drops, and plenty of intense loopsand corkscrews. These special track pieces arecontained in a separate taband should be used sparingly.

Coasters have ratings forexcitement, nausea, and fear, and exceeding the limits will make your coaster too extreme to open. Keeping these scores in moderation will make it easier for you to open the ride and minimize editing time.

How To Test A Rollercoaster

Once you’veconnected the track back to the station(or created a second station and connected the track), it’s time totest your new coaster. This process allows you to see whether it’ssafe to openand what changes need to be made if not.

Click the middle buttonbetween close and openon the coaster menu orselect the option to start testingthe coaster. The ride will begin and you can either watch from an aerial view or take a seat in the coaster to see what your guests will experience.

If the coaster stops at any time, you’ll need tomake edits to ensure that the coaster makes it all the way to the endand try again.

Your coaster will need to safelymake it through the full trackto complete the test. While this should be an easy step, it canreveal some difficult problems with your design, like too much speed, not enough momentum, or any number of issues.

Once the test is complete, you canview the results. A brief overview will show youwhether the ride can open or needs work. For more specific details, you can comb through the other tabs in the coaster menu in the top right corner.

Here you cancheck the excitement, fear, and nausea ratingsas well as the differentforces your coaster embraces.

How To Fine Tune A Rollercoaster

When you find that the coastercan’t open due to being too extreme, you’ll likely need to adjust different parts of your coaster. Finding these heightened points of G-force and nausea can be tricky on your own. Thankfully, you may use heatmaps!

Too many loops orsections where there’s high speedcan prevent your attraction from opening!

In the more detailed coaster test results menu, you canactivate the heatmaps and filter thembased on the different attributes that make up your coaster. The track will then light up in shades of red and green.

Red spots indicate danger zonesand intense areas whilegreen sections suggest an easier, less stressful partof the coaster. you may enter construction mode todelete specific sections of the track, adjust the angles, and swap piecesout with brakes to reduce force.

You can use the bulldozer and autocomplete tools to remove and reconnect track pieces as needed to correct your test scores!

How To Save A Custom Rollercoaster

After everything is prepared, you cansave your coasterto put in other parks or share with friends! You can select just the coaster oruse the selection toolto select the coaster, path, and scenery to save.

Select the option tosave as a new blueprint, then fill out the required fields togive the ride a name, description and filterso you can find it later.

Once you save the ride, you canplace it like any of the prebuilt coastersavailable by default. Don’t forget toschedule maintenance for the rideso it doesn’t break down!
