What is Attraction Prestige in Planet Coaster 2 and how to improve it

In Planet Coaster 2, players must create and manage their own theme park, and become successful while doing so. This is a sequel to 2016's Planet Coaster and was released on November 6, 2024, for the PC, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series X and S consoles. A key metric in increasing the park's popularity is keeping the Attraction Prestige score high, which helps ensure a high Park Rating.

Having a high Park Rating is important to get guests to purchase tickets to the park, though Attraction Prestige is one of the tougher values to increase in this regard. Below is a description of Attraction Prestige, and how to increase it.

Attraction Prestige is a metric that judges the quality of rides within the theme park. This includes not just the rides, but their type, the number of times a type of ride has been repeated, and so on. The goal here is to increase this value by regularly adding a number of new rides, and keeping the existing ones running smoothly.

It is safe to say that as a guest visiting a theme park, one would be disappointed if rides in the area were similar, under constant renovation, or even shut down. These aspects can greatly affect the value of this stat.

Increasing Attraction Prestige in Planet Coaster 2

To keep this value up, primarily focus on not building many similar rides in the park. Consider building a ride with a high base level of Prestige to get a small boost, though ensure regular and timely renovation is made to prevent the ride from breaking down and becoming inoperable.

When a ride has been part of the park for a long time, it will be considered Old. So players should replace them or deliver a new coat of paint to keep them relevant. Keep updating the rides over time. Introduce newer and fresher rides, and ensure that they have ample Scenery around them to attract guests.

Finally, have an ideal Ride Experience for the guests. This includes featuring dynamic pricing for the rides, having rides only begin at full capacity, and so on. As for the three stats for each ride, ensure that Excitement is high, while Fear and Nausea values remain within control.

Lastly, to get a temporary boost in the prestige value, consider setting ticket prices to a nominal or null value for a while to increase the ride's popularity and prestige.
