Planet Coaster 2: How To Make Money Fast
Money allows you to build everything quickly in Planet Coaster 2, so you’ll need to know how to make a lot of it quickly.
One of the scenarios pits brother Eugene and Brad against each other while trying to build a magnificent park split by a river. With a bit of help, you can make the park thrive through a mix of your favorite attractions.
The Brothers Swimm Bronze Objectives
To start off your new park with Eugene and Brad, you’ll have two goals: build more rides and get more guests into the park. To accomplish these goals, start by creating a new coaster first.
The only requirements for the coaster are that it must have a rating of at least five fear, meaning it will test the mettle of your guests.
You can check the ratings of prebuilt rides to get an idea of what your custom coaster should look like–but you can also purchase a premade one to save time!
Next up is opening a flat ride. It’s a good idea to choose a tame one to pair with your coaster so you can appeal to all of your guests. It doesn’t matter which side you put it on, whether you prefer Eugene’s Aquatic theme or Brad’s Norse vibe, just so long as the ride has a fear rating of less than five.
After you’ve built your two new rides, it’s time to bring more guests into the park. You’ll need a total of 1,600 guests at once to complete this objective and earn the bronze badge for your park.
You can get more guests by advertising your rides, lowering ticket prices and park admission, and giving your guests a great experience!
If it’s getting late, don’t panic! The number of guests will dwindle, then surge once a new day begins.
The Brothers Swimm Silver Objectives
With your park growing, you’ll want to build more rides for guests of all ages. Your first task towards a silver badge is to build a new junior coaster in the park. The fear rating must be under four, but otherwise you’re free to design whatever you’d like.
For the sake of time and ensuring you don’t make an intense ride, keep it simple. No extreme drops, loops, or sharp turns. A small coaster with a single, moderate drop is enough to entice guests without breaking the bank.
If you’re having trouble building along the cliffs, try raising the paths and stations off the ground.
It’s unclear if this is a bug or a terrain issue exclusively, but you can work around it if you get creative.
After you’ve completed your new coaster, build two more flat rides with a low fear rating. These can go wherever you like, though it’s recommended to try and balance out your park and avoid favoring one side over the other.
The last objective for earning the silver badge is to increase your daily income. Unlike previous challenges, your income this time needs to come specifically from ride ticket sales.
This means that your rides will not only need to be fully operational, but appeal to guests with both their scenery and queue times. Introducing Priority Pass options can help increase your income, as well as changing the ride pricing from custom or bargain to dynamic.
Dynamic ride pricing allows you to set a high and low price that fluctuates based on guest traffic.
Once you make $40,000 in one day from attraction tickets, you’ll earn the silver badge and move onto the gold objective challenges.
The Brothers Swimm Gold Objectives
If you thought the previous coasters were intense, get ready to build one that’s even better. This time, your challenge is to design a coaster with a fear rating of six or higher, which means you’ll be pushing the limits of your creativity.
The Crazy Mouse coaster is a good option, and it’s the most affordable to build!
Keep an eye on heat maps when testing the coaster to make sure that the track is extreme, but not exceeding the limits for guests. Sharp turns, tilted tracks, and steep drops will add to the fear factor–just make sure to utilize breaks so that the G-forces don’t hurt the riders.
Once that’s ready, you’ll need to construct another flat ride with a fear rating of less than four. THere are plenty of options, and you can always research more rides to increase the selection in your park.
Try to add a variety of rides to help improve your park rating! This will help you later with the platinum objectives.
Next, you’ll need to make $80,000 off attraction tickets in a day. Again, the dynamic price setting can come in handy to ensure guests will move between multiple attractions and fill in all the available space.
If you haven’t built a transport ride between the two areas of the park, now would be the time! Guests will enjoy being able to reach multiple areas–and your last goal before reaching gold is to have a total of 3,500 guests in the park.
Run any remaining advertisements to reach this loft guest count. It will take patience, but you can monitor what needs to be done in the guest menu. You want to keep your guests coming back, and making sure they have a great day is vital.
The Brothers Swimm Platinum Objectives
The final set of objectives will truly test your theme park building skills. This time, you’ll need to construct another frightening coaster–but the fear rating is much more specific. It needs to be more than four and a half, but less than five and a half.
The sweet spot is to aim for a fear rating of five and fall somewhere in between!
Use your experience with the previous coasters, and the guidelines given by the premade coasters, to help you create something truly thrilling. After the coaster is built, tested, and opened, you can move on to the next task.
Don’t forget to check heat maps in the testing phase so you can see areas that need improvement!
The next two goals go hand in hand. You’ll need to generate a daily income of more than $200,000 and reach an overall park rating of four and a half stars. You can accomplish both goals at the same time by examining what aspects of your park rating need to be worked on.
From there, you can build more shops for guests to purchase from, more vendor stalls, and new rides with low ticket prices. You can also adjust admission prices as your park rating increases, as guests will be more willing to pay for entry if your park has a good reputation.
Don’t be afraid to spend money to complete this objective. It won’t count against you, and you’ll need to spend some to make more!
Once you’ve completed the last of these objectives, you’ll receive the platinum badge. Congratulations on overcoming every challenge in this scenario.
