Pricing Guide
Here is where I will help you on pricing out your park.
Park Entrance Fee:
This is where you make all you money. When you first start out a park
set it at 5 dollars. Every time its says "Your guests are commenting
that the park entrance fee is very cheap, maybe you should consider
raising the price" at the bottom of your screen, up the price 3
dollars> Then when you get that message again, up the price 2 dollars
so it will be rounded to the nearest five. When you get the message
again, keep repeating the cycle. When your park entrance fee gets to
$50, I don't think you should make it go up anymore, I make the rides
10 or 20 cents higher but then leave all the prices where they are and
you should be doing fine. Remember, this is your biggest money making
thing.
Shops and Stalls:
You should leave their prices the same. NEVER charge money for a
bathroom. Always put Information Kiosks everywhere and if your park is
really big, and people tend to get lost, the stick some Information
Kiosks at the back parts of your park and make the maps free there.
Tip: Always put a Soda Stall near a French Fries Stall and a Burger Bar
because the French Fries and Burgers make the people thirsty.
Transport Rides:
Its sometimes depends how much you should charge for these. I'd say
about 50-90 cents for the Chairlift and the Miniature Railroad. If you
have a good Monorail, I think you could get away with $1. If the
Monorail track is short, I'd charge 70 cents. If people are saying that
it costs too much, then lower the price. If people are saying that it
costs too much, then lower the price.
Gentle Rides:
You should charge little to no money for the gentle rides (excluding
Car Ride). One reason is: they are really cheap to build. Another
reason is: when people ride these gentle rides, it gives them more
courage to go on roller coasters. So, if you Charge 0-30 cents for any
of these rides (excluding Car Ride), you can probably get away with
$1.50-$2.50 on a good roller coaster. The highest amount I would charge
for one of these rides (excluding Car Ride) would be 50 cents. The
reason why was excluding Car Ride from the prices on the other Gentle
Rides is: It costs more money to build a car ride, and if you make a
really good track, you don't want to be charging just 30 cents. If you
make a good track for Car Ride, you can charge 40-60 cents for it. If
people are saying that it costs too much, then lower the price.
Thrill Rides:
Charge 40-60 cents for any of these. If you put some of these in
popular places, you can get away with 80 cents sometimes. I'm not
saying always. The best thing to do is experiment to find out which is
a good place. If people are saying that it costs too much, then lower
the price.
Water Rides:
All the water rides (excluding Boat Hire) should be 50-70 cents if they
are good. Sometimes if you have a new one you can get away with $1. For
Boat Hire, you should charge 30-50 cents. Boat Hires are really cheap
to make. If people are saying that it costs too much, then lower the
price.
Roller Coasters:
Here is what you all wanted. If you charged nothing for the Gentle
Rides, then you can charge up to $2.50 for a really big roller coaster.
If you didn't charge nothing for the Gentle Rides, then you can charge
up to $1.50 for a good roller coaster. I you get a new, big roller
coaster, then sometime you can get away with $3.00-$4.00, but after a
while, you'll need to lower the price. For the little roller coasters,
I charge 80 cents for but you can charge up to $1.00. The only ones you
shouldn't charge more than 90 cents for are the pre-made small ones. If
people are saying that the roller coasters cost too much, then lower
the prices.
