Coasters, Flat Rides, and Tracked Rides Explained
Planet Coaster 2 sorts its rides into coasters, flat rides, and tracked rides, and knowing the difference tells you how each one is built and placed. Coasters are the roller coasters you design yourself, with track, lifts, and launches. Flat rides are placed on the ground with no track of their own, and they move guests in a range of ways.
Tracked rides carry guests along a set route in cars, boats, or other vehicles. Each kind has its own job: coasters bring the speed and twists, flat rides add quick spins and views, and tracked rides either take guests through a themed route or help them get around a big park.
How Coasters Work: Lifts, Launches, and Layouts
Many coasters use a lift to pull the train up the first hill. Chain lifts are one of the main options, and cable lifts and friction wheels are others. Launched coasters add a fast push out of the station, which can come from hydraulic power, compressed air, or linear motors such as LSM and LIM.
The track layout is where you shape how a coaster feels. Some designs are made for loops and upside-down turns, while others focus on drops, tight corners, and tilted turns. Some coasters also let you mix lift and launch options, so the same model can feel different depending on what you build.
Coaster Styles: Wooden, Water, Wing, and Suspended
Coasters come in many styles, and each one sets the mood. Wooden coasters use traditional wooden track for an exciting, rough ride, and hybrid designs add steel rails or a steel plate so they can include loops while still looking like wood. Some themed coasters have their own look too, such as mine trains with a locomotive-style front car.
Water coasters bring splashdowns and boat-style sections, and some combine a coaster with a log flume. Wing and suspended coasters change where riders sit. Wing coasters put seats on either side of the track with nothing above or below, while suspended coasters let riders hang beneath the track with their legs dangling as they fly through turns.
Some launched coasters send trains through the station more than once, building speed on each pass. Spinning coasters let the cars turn freely as they follow the track, and some let you control how fast they spin.
Flat Rides: Spins, Swings, Wheels, and Towers
Many flat rides are classic fairground rides that give guests a familiar spin or swing. Each group offers a different kind of motion, so it helps to know what you want before you choose. Spinning rides turn guests around, from teacups and carousels to Forge, where giant robot arms lift and spin riders.
Swinging rides use pendulums and arms to swing guests high and low. Wheel rides lift guests around a circle for a wide view of the park, and tower rides raise guests high before a drop or a slow rise. The Screaminator drops riders in freefall from a very tall tower, while Sky Watcher takes guests up for a panoramic view.
Some flat rides don't fit those groups at all, such as Bumpin' Derby bumper cars and the Helter Skelter, which guests climb before sliding down a spiral slide. Later packs add movie-style rides like the Flying Theatre and Cinema Room, which are built around films and stories.
Tracked Rides: Dark Rides, Transport, and Water Rides
Tracked rides cover a lot of ground. Family Train is a gentle mini railway that suits a relaxed day out, and Go Kart has guests race each other around a track. Dark rides take guests through themed scenes, like the ghost story in Bosetti or the dark corners of The Huntsman.
Transport rides help guests get around a big park, from the Monorail and Cable Car to the Steam Boat and Steam Train Railroad. Water rides like the Narrow Log Flume, Wide Log Flume, and River Rapids use flowing water to carry guests. The flumes use hollow boats, while River Rapids uses circular rafts.
How to Get Rides and Coasters in Planet Coaster 2
Many rides come with the base game, and others arrive with packs and free updates. The Vintage Funfair Ride Pack adds classic fairground rides, the Silver Screen Pack brings movie-themed attractions, and the Spooktacular Pack adds spooky rides. Free updates have also added rides since the game launched.
In Career and Challenge parks, some rides and coasters need to be researched before you can build them. Sandbox gives you more freedom to build what you like.
The in-game menu groups rides under headings such as Chain Lift, Launched, Spinning, and Tower. Knowing those headings makes it quicker to find the style you have in mind.
Which Rides and Coasters Suit Your Park
Start with your guests. The Child Coaster is a fan favorite for guests of all ages, the Junior Coaster has dragon-styled cars for the whole family, and the Little Dipper gives younger guests a drop-tower thrill with gentle rises and mini drops.
If your guests want strong thrills, look at the launched coasters, which build speed quickly. Inverted and suspended coasters suit guests who want loops and a flying feeling.
Spread your choices across the groups so your park has gentle rides, thrill rides, and rides that move guests around. That way, every kind of guest has something to do, whether they want a gentle ride or a big drop.
FAQ
Are any rides from the original Planet Coaster in Planet Coaster 2?
Yes. Collider and Pathos III return from the original game, and Whirlpool is a fresh rebuild of the original's Psychola. If you remember those rides from before, you'll find them here.
Is the Child Return the same as the Child Coaster?
No. The Child Return is a separate buildable model and a shuttle version, so it isn't the same as the ordinary Child Coaster. Both come from the Sorcery Pack, but you build them as two different models.
Are the coasters based on real-world designs?
Some are. Several models closely match real coaster types, such as Big M's Rides Splash Coaster, which matches the Mack SuperSplash, and Vector Return, which matches the Vekoma Boomerang.
When was the Interactive Shooting Ride added?
It arrived with the first anniversary update, so it came after the game was released. It's a tracked ride, which means it runs along a set route rather than being a coaster or a flat ride.
