Build What The Peeps Want
You can check the opinions of individual peeps and even what they think of individual attractions.
You can see what the guests think of your rides by opening the Attraction Management dialog box
and sorting the lists by popularity, favorites and satisfaction. This will give you a good idea what the
peeps think of objects in your park. Also check out the guest button found under the park manage-
ment buttons to see all the thoughts of guests in your park.
Once you’ve sampled the peep’s opinions, install only the rides or attractions you know the peeps
want. It’s always good to have a variety of rides that appeal to peeps with varying preferences.And
don’t forget — peeps LOVE fireworks!
It also goes without saying that your park should have plenty of toilets and food and drink shops.You
should also install cash machines here and there. If peeps really like your park, they’ll pull more funds
from the cash machines after they’ve spent all their pocket money.
See the ReadMe file for FAQs regarding peep behavior.

Sufficient Staffing
Janitors keep the park clean. Mechanics inspect and fix rides. Security Guards keep mischief at a
minimum, and Entertainers attract and amuse peeps. Hire too many employees, and you may not be
able pay them. Hire too few, and some areas of your park may fall into disrepair.Also consider
investing in training to make your staff better at their jobs.
John Wardley: Maintenance
Who takes care of a coaster once it’s up and what
does a coaster cost to maintain?
The park’s maintenance and operations crews are trained by the manufacturers in
operating and maintaining the ride, and detailed manuals are provided to document
all aspects of this. Coasters require daily checks and maintenance, which costs
the park many hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.But this ensures that the
coaster will operate safely and reliably during the operating periods.
