When planned effectively, your theme park’s layout can be both profitable and fun. Create an interesting yet easily navigable network of rides and other attractions by considering:
Front entrance: At the front of your park, station important offices such as first aid, security and lost and found. Make these buildings visible and accessible from the main paths.
Meeting places: Many theme parks have one or two prominent features near their entrances that people can use as meeting places in case groups get split up or people get lost. Consider adding a statue of your mascot or a large fountain that members of families, school classes and other groups can safely wait near.
Necessary facilities: Include bathrooms and food stands throughout your park to help meet people’s basic needs wherever they are. Also include accessible ramps and other features to help people with mobility issues to enjoy your park.
Strategic pathways: Souvenir shops and carnival games scattered throughout your park are another way to keep your theme alive and pique guests’ interests as they wander through the world you’ve created.
Park exit: Place main souvenir shops towards the park’s exit so as guests leave, they’ll want to buy souvenirs to remind them of their visit.
When planning your layout, make sure large attractions are right off of main pathways. Map out how a typical visitor might make their way through your designs. Creating a circular pathway around your park or implementing several main roads will help prevent bottlenecking around major attractions.
It may also be a good idea to spread out similar rides around your park. For instance, if you’re going to include five big rollercoasters, placing them in five different sections at the edges of your park can encourage visitors to explore many other attractions along the way.
