Four different starting points. One site-specific planning process.
01
A new outdoor park
Establish the audience, usable plot and essential guest facilities before committing to equipment.
02
An operating park
Identify the missing experience and check existing foundations, circulation and utilities.
03
A mixed-age destination
Agree how family, children’s and more intense attractions share the same visitor journey.
04
A phased opening
Separate the first operating phase from reserved land, future infrastructure and later attractions.
There is no universal minimum plot size. Ride envelopes, queues, guest facilities, access and local requirements determine the usable layout.
02
Six Roles. One Coordinated Ride Architecture.
Explore what each attraction contributes before choosing the model.
ATTRACTION ROLE / 01
Give the park a recognizable anchor
Choose a visible centerpiece, then organize arrival and circulation around it. Confirm the actual observation experience and operating envelope for the model.
Guest profile
Sightseers, families and first-time guests
Placement direction
Arrival axis, central plaza or a visible landscape edge
Review before selection
Sightlines, foundations, wind conditions and rescue access
A thrill area needs more than a headline ride. Test the relationship between ride movement, waiting guests, noise-sensitive uses and maintenance access.
Guest profile
Older guests seeking a more intense experience
Placement direction
A dedicated area with adequate setbacks and service access
Review before selection
Dynamic envelope, rider limits, noise and queue separation
Use a mix of shared and child-oriented experiences rather than assuming every attraction serves every age. Model restrictions remain part of the selection.
Guest profile
Mixed-age groups and accompanying adults
Placement direction
An accessible hub near shade, rest areas and amenities
Review before selection
Age and height restrictions, supervision and accessible routes
Design an evening experience that can be operated safely
Coordinate ride lighting with paths, landscape and operating hours. An attractive night scene is not a substitute for an approved electrical and operating plan.
Guest profile
Guests visiting later in the day or attending events
Placement direction
Visible landmarks connected by well-lit guest routes
Review before selection
Lighting design, power, inspection visibility and local noise limits
Catalog examples illustrate the role, not a fixed package or a confirmed fit. Published fields stay attached to their exact models; missing data is not inferred from another ride.
03
Design The Route Between The Attractions
Connect the visitor loop, support facilities and the land reserved for later phases.
Illustrative zoning only. A final plan needs a measured site survey and approved model drawings.
A
Arrival & landmark
An orientation point, a clear entrance sequence and a recognizable centerpiece.
B
Thrill & experience
Separate ride movement and queues from quieter guest areas.
C
Family & children
Group appropriate experiences with rest, shade and supervision facilities.
D
Food, retail & rest
Plan amenities as part of the guest route, not leftover space.
E
Transport & connection
Review boarding areas, crossings and the relationship with pedestrian paths.
F
Service & future phases
Reserve practical access for maintenance, emergency response and later works.
04
Build For The Guest—And The Operator
A good combination must work beyond the opening-day image.
Orientation
Help guests understand where to go next.
Experience balance
Match intensity and restrictions to the audience.
Comfort & amenities
Include shade, rest and convenient guest facilities.
Operating practicality
Check staffing, inspections, utilities and service routes.
These are design objectives, not guaranteed attendance, guest spending or commercial returns.
05
Choose A Direction, Then Define The Package
The mix is resolved from the brief—not a universal list of ride quantities.
Regional
Regional family park
For a local or regional audience seeking a manageable mix of shared experiences.
Select a centerpiece and age-appropriate supporting rides
Connect family facilities and clear pedestrian routes
Confirm the operating team and daily inspection plan
Transparent arithmetic. No hidden demand multiplier or promised payback.

How the scenario is calculated
Annual visits = average daily paying visitors × operating days. Gross revenue = annual visits × (ticket receipt + other revenue per visitor). Operating balance = gross revenue − the annual operating expense you entered. Revenue per m² = gross revenue ÷ usable plot area.
Site area does not predict attendance. The calculation excludes construction and equipment investment, financing, tax and depreciation. It is not a forecast, quote, feasibility assessment or investment recommendation. Revenue assumptions and commercial viability need independent local research.
07
Keep Every Stage Connected
Agree deliverables and acceptance checkpoints before moving into the next phase.
01
Brief & survey
Identify measured land, audiences, access and opening objectives.
02
Concept & mix
Discuss roles, routes, guest facilities and the first operating phase.
03
Engineering & scope
Confirm models, drawings, responsibilities and commercial boundaries.
04
Manufacture & inspect
Agree fabrication records, inspection checkpoints and dispatch readiness.
05
Deliver & install
Coordinate transport, civil readiness, lifting and installation responsibilities.
06
Commission & hand over
Define acceptance, operator instruction, documents and service scope.
08
Manufacturing With A Defined Handover
Connect the proposal to the evidence and responsibilities of the specific order.
BEHIND THE PROJECT
See the work behind the park
Explore the factory process and discuss the drawings, inspections and workshop records relevant to your order.
Clarify the assumptions before choosing the equipment.
Is this only for large plots?
No. Usable land, setbacks, access and the proposed models determine the plan. A small plot and a destination-scale project need different attraction and operating briefs.
Can you propose a fixed ride package immediately?
A list is only a starting point. Site conditions, rider restrictions, utilities and operating responsibilities must be reviewed before final selection.
Can an existing foundation be reused?
Do not assume compatibility. The existing records, condition assessment and the new model’s loading and interface drawings must be reviewed together.
Does the calculator predict a profitable park?
No. It only shows the arithmetic from the assumptions you enter. Demand, operating expenses, capital costs, local rules and commercial viability need independent investigation.
What should I send for a first layout discussion?
Send a measured plot plan, location, access and utility information, target audience, project stage and desired opening window. Include existing equipment records for an expansion.
What is included in delivery support?
Confirm the drawings, inspection evidence, transport, installation, commissioning, operator instruction and after-sales responsibilities in the agreed order scope.
