Theme Park Tycoon 2 is one of the biggest and well-known theme park simulation game on the Roblox platform. With multiple features to create joyful rollercoasters and unique park rides, the game continues to add more features to enhance user experience. Although creativity can help you create an amazing theme park, managing guests in Theme Park Tycoon 2 isn’t just about placing rides—it’s a complex art of optimizing movement, satisfaction, spending, and experience. This advanced guide dives into strategies that separate casual players from true tycoons. Let’s begin!

Understand the Guest Behaviour

Like with any business, you must address the main issue – guest behaviour. Since this is a game, guests are essentially AI (Artificial Intelligence) powered NPCs that you cannot interact with but can account for. Guests are goal-oriented in nature. Guests enter your park with the aim of experiencing rides, eating food, and staying happy. They follow the shortest available path with the fewest obstructions. Guests choose rides based on intensity preference, hunger/thirst, queue length, and proximity.

Understanding your guest mix lets you tailor your park layout, pricing, and ride intensity for maximum efficiency. Now, let’s proceed to understand about the different guest types:

  • Thrill Seekers – Love high-intensity rides.
  • Casual Visitors – Prefer gentle rides and food.
  • Families – Favor flat rides, gentle coasters, and attractions with low nausea ratings.

Optimize your Park Layout for Easier Navigation

An efficient layout of a theme park is going to automatically attract more guests than an unorganized one. Like we said before, guests come with a particular goal in mind. Divide your park into different zones. This clusters guest types and keeps them flowing naturally based on their preferences. The zone arrangement can be of the following types:

  • Entrance Zone: Gentle rides, food stalls, ATMs, benches, trash bins.
  • Family Zone: Carousel, Ferris wheel, dark rides, train rides.
  • Thrill Zone: High-speed roller coasters, spinning rides, drop towers.
  • Food and Rest Zone: Between thrill rides to “cool off” guests.
  • Exit Area: Shops and quick-spend attractions like game booths.

Try to make use of the loop pathing technique. Guests prefer loop layouts over dead ends. Avoid long straight paths that end in nothing. Create loops that lead guests from one attraction to the next, ending up near where they began. Build up or down to handle large crowds. Use stairs or terrain tools to build elevated paths. Create underground food courts or skywalks to avoid congesting your main path.

Ride and Queue Management

Optimize your queue lines to ensure guests are not facing too much waiting time. Keep queues short in path length, but long in time efficiency. Use zigzag patterns with fences to simulate real theme park lines. Place entertainers, decor, and benches nearby to boost guest patience. For ride management, don’t place all your best rides near the entrance. Space out high-intensity rides to draw guests across the park. Rotate ride types and alternate thrill/gentle rides to attract different demographics.

Rides with long load/unload times slow guest turnover. Favor rides with short cycles or multiple cars (e.g., dark rides or spinning coasters). Use synchronized stations for multi-station coasters to reduce wait times.

Food and Facility Management

A smart food and facility management can go a long way to attract more guests at your theme park. Make sure to install food plazas in central locations in between popular rides. This is because guests are expected to crowd at these locations when they are feeling exhausted after going on multiple rides. Some important aspects to focus on are installing benches so guests can rest, trash cans so guests can avoid littering, and restrooms so guests can freshen up.
