The heart of any amusement park is its attractions. If you run out of space, you can also develop the land around the park to expand its grounds. Adding transport facilities like bus stops and parking lots will encourage more customers to come visit. Finally, don't forget to use your research lab to discover new rides and facilities and add new features to existing ones.

▼Attractions

Attractions come in all shapes and sizes and can be placed anywhere throughout the park. Some rides can even be expanded with higher or longer tracks.

Fixtures such as food and drinks stalls can be built inside zones and on walkways. These will increase the popularity of the nearby area, and may also earn points from passers-by.

Extra fixtures can sometimes be earned as Rank Up rewards.
