Tips for creating the best water park in Planet Coaster 2

Key recommendations

• Use thin stretches of pool to connect areas where guests can easily swim between sections.
• Don't forget to place water filters near the pools to keep them clean and guests happy.
• Build exit pools or clearing lanes to avoid crowding and provide safety for guests.

One of the biggest selling points of Planet Coaster 2 is that players can now build the water parks of their dreams. From sprawling pools and wave machines to slippery slides and winding canals, the game has it all. However, assembling them together with landscape, terrain and buildings is not too easy.

For those who seek build the best water parks in Planet Coaster 2the following tips should help them conquer this new aspect of the series.

1 Use thin stretches of pools to connect other pools

You can even place bridges or landscapes to turn them into tunnels

When guests are already in the water, they usually want to stay in the water where it's warm rather than having to keep getting in and out. This is why it can be a great idea to use swimming pools as paths, allowing guests to swim between sections of the water park.

These waterways are not only functional, but they can also look great, especially when using landscape items. One tip is to use the landscape to turn them into tunnels or caves. If players want to build a functional bridge over their waterway or any other part of the pool, they simply need to make sure it's high enough.

2 Water filters

It is imperative to have clean pools

When players build pools in Planet Coaster 2he must remember leave room for water filters. If they don't, there won't be any problems at first, but after a while their pools will get dirty, making guests unhappy.

A single water filter can cover a number of pools if well placed, but this water filter must be connected to a water pump. This pump in turn requires power, which means there must be a Power Distributor connected to a Power Generator. Like all of these utilities give Scenery a negative scoreit is best to place them away from guests.

3 Use rocks as alternative pool edges

This is done in some real life water parks

One way to make pools or lazy rivers look even better is to use fake rocks to line them. This is done in many real-life water parks, both indoor and outdoor. This will add a more three dimensional look to the pools, preventing them from being flat and boring.

This works particularly well with tropical themed pools and can be used alongside foliage such as palm trees. Making rock walls has never been easier as players can now scale individual rocks to suit their needs.

4 Build exit basins or use cleaning strips

This avoids crowding in pools and is more realistic

In real water parks, many slides or flumes have designated exit pools for guests to splash into. These freestanding pools exist mainly for safety reasons, as it would not be a good idea for those who go down the slides to land in the middle of people. enjoying a bath.

In Planet Coaster 2the problem is similar, but luckily there is a way to make output only pools. At the end of a water slide, make a small pool, but make sure that this the pool is scheduled to be closed. This means that when guests land, they will board immediately. Placing a ladder helps. Alternatively, they also have slides and chutes they end up known as Runout Laneswith a shallow and deep variety. For these, there is no need for a pool at all.

5 Don't build pools that are too big because the lifeguards can't cover the middle

Each lifeguard seat has a sight box

The safety and happiness of guests in Planet Coaster 2 it should always be a priority and a way to do it avoid the guests panicking and becoming very unhappy is to provide plenty of cover for the lifeguard. When players place a lifeguard chair, they will see a trapezoid in front of them that represents the lifeguard's view and the area it covers.

For long pools, players can easily place these chairs side by side to create a continuous line of safety. For slightly wider pools, lifeguards could be placed on opposite sides so that the cover meets in the middle. However, if players build pools that are too wide or generally too large, they run into the problem of the middle of the pool being completely cut off from the help. Therefore, it is best to build pools with this conundrum in mind.

6 Don't forget to provide shade or sunscreen

Sunburned guests will be unhappy and leave

Due to the shadow requirement being a new game mechanic in Planet Coaster 2and the fact that Parasols are not listed among the Pool Extra decor items, it can be easy to forget to add them.

If guests don't have shade when sunbathing, they can get sunburned and become very unhappy, leaving a negative review before leaving the park with a lower rating. In addition to the shadow, players should build Guest service stores that sell sunscreen.

7 Children's pools

Use shallow, inflatable and themed pools

Although there are no babies or toddlers in the game, those who want to build realistic water parks in Planet Coaster 2 should consider them and build small shallow pools. This is quite easy to do thanks to the four depth settings available when building pools.

Players can decorate these kiddie pools with inflatablestoys, small water jets from the special effects section and plenty of proper theming. Although these features will not necessarily be interacted with, they will look great for those who like to play realistic construction games.
