Learn how to start your park in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. This guide covers initial park setup, ride placement, staff management, and shop placement for early profits.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Erase all existing structures to maximize your starting funds.
  2. 2
    Build your park entrance as close to a wall as possible to conserve space.
  3. 3
    Place one or two information kiosks immediately by the park entrance.
  4. 4
    Hire one mechanic and one repairman. Ensure their jobs are correctly assigned.
  5. 5
    Instruct repairmen to focus on sweeping and emptying trash bins, rather than mowing grass, to keep guests happy.
  6. 6
    Construct a superb coaster near the entrance with high excitement, medium intensity, and low nausea ratings.
  7. 7
    Set the ticket price for this coaster to approximately $5.50 to ensure a decent profit.
  8. 8
    Establish a large food court in the center of the park, arranging shops in clusters (e.g., a drink stall, food stall, and hat shop together) with some space between clusters. This ensures guests can easily access and spend money at the various shops.
Tips
  • Prioritize guest happiness by keeping the park clean and tidy.
  • Focus on building one profitable ride early on to generate income.
  • Strategic placement of shops can encourage guests to spend more money.
