Theme Park Tycoon 2 Guide (2026): Money, Prices, Ideas, 5 Stars

Theme Park Tycoon 2 Roblox Guide: Best Ideas, How to Get More Stars and More Guests and Tips & Tricks
Written by Sylvester Greer

Theme Park Tycoon 2 guide, updated October 2026: the entrance fee formula, ride prices, best rides for money, money farm and blueprint IDs, and 5-star tips.

Updated October 27, 2026: Rewritten for 2026. New sections cover the entrance fee formula, default ride prices, the best rides for money, money farms, blueprint design IDs, image IDs and every 2026 update (switch tracks, Spring Update, weather and tilt tracks, turntables). Game data was checked against the Roblox game page and the Theme Park Tycoon 2 Wiki at 22:30 UTC.

To make money in Theme Park Tycoon 2, raise your star rating and park value, then charge an entrance fee that matches them. The Theme Park Tycoon 2 Wiki gives the formula: about (park value / 50,000) + (stars x 10), capped at $100. For ride income, fill your park with fast, high-capacity rides such as the Droptower, Twister and Ferris wheel. Then raise prices until guests start thinking “too expensive”, and drop back $1.

Theme Park Tycoon 2 quick answer (October 2026)

  • Best entrance price: floor(park value / 50,000 + star rating x 10), max $100 (wiki formula, roughly ±$1). A 4-star park worth $500,000 comes out at about $50.
  • Best rides for money: short cycles with lots of seats. On the wiki’s ride stats, the Ferris wheel, Droptower, Launched freefall and Twister lead per minute at default prices.
  • Ride prices: coasters default to $15-$31 a ticket and flat rides to $9-$18 (wiki defaults). Raise them in $1 steps and watch guest thoughts.
  • Money farm: a compact block of short rides and stalls next to the entrance. The free No-Gamepass Money Farm Template blueprint is design ID RD-176-423-216-080 (TPT2 Workshop).
  • 5 stars: 3 of every food and drink stall, 1 of every souvenir stall, 3 large coasters, no trash and no dead ends (wiki rating checklist).
  • Codes: the game has no redeem codes. “ID codes” means blueprint design IDs and Roblox image (decal) IDs, explained below.
  • Last update: the Roblox page shows August 31, 2026, after the 10th Anniversary Update (turntables), which was listed for August 21.

What’s new in Theme Park Tycoon 2 in 2026

Developer Den_S announces each big update on the game’s Roblox page as an event listing, and the in-game changelog has the full notes. These are the 2025-2026 updates, with dates from the official listings and the wiki’s 2026 changelog:

Date Update What it added
Dec 18, 2025 Switch Tracks Update (v575-576) High-speed switch tracks that split and merge coaster tracks (Multi-launch, Extreme launch, Launched spinning, Hydraulic launch, Beyond-vertical drop, Motorcycle)
Jan 8, 2026 v582 One-way items no longer work on queue paths
Apr 10, 2026 Spring Update (v585) New drop and elevator track system (reverse, launch or pass through trains), redesigned Vertical launch and Mine train coasters, 3 new hat stalls that sell several hats, a new guest look, a time-of-day menu for each park, and a level-up tree where you pick what to unlock next
Jul 7, 2026 Weather & Tilt Tracks (v589) Dynamic rain and thunderstorms, umbrella stalls, tilt tracks for six coasters, a new Gyro ride, a redesigned Gravitron and 17 cactus items; the level cap went up to 91 on Jul 1
Aug 21, 2026 10th Anniversary Update Turntables for various roller coasters “as well as several other additions” (official listing; the wiki changelog doesn’t have the full notes yet)

The Roblox game page last changed on August 31, 2026, and there’s no Halloween 2026 update listing so far. When we checked, the game had about 3,400 players online, 1.62 billion visits and 6.1 million favorites (Roblox games API, 22:30 UTC). Redesigned rides replace the old versions in the build menu. To get the old ones back, turn on “Show legacy content in build menu” in settings, which many older blueprints need.

How to make money fast in Theme Park Tycoon 2

Guests are your income. They pay the entrance fee, ride tickets and stall prices, and the wiki’s Currency page says their budget grows with your park’s rating and value. In order:

  1. Claim the daily bonus. It pays $1,750 once per calendar day (wiki). New parks start with $11,000.
  2. Cover the 0.5-2 star basics first: one ride, one food stall, one drink stall and one restroom, then trash cans no more than six tiles apart. Ratings raise the guests’ budget and the entrance fee you can charge.
  3. Charge an entrance fee using the formula in the next section. It’s the one price every guest pays.
  4. Build fast rides near the entrance. Short ride times mean more tickets per minute (see the table below).
  5. Do your 5 daily missions. They pay 30-80 credits each plus XP. Credits buy plots, ride skins and the 2x Income Boost, or convert to money in the shop.
  6. Play with a friend. Version 542 (April 2025) added extra money for playing with friends, and the wiki’s Park Entrance page lists a +10% Friends Boost while a friend is in your server.
  7. Don’t hoard money. Spend it on new rides, stalls and plots, because park value is half of the entrance-fee formula.

Skip “infinite money” scripts. They’re exploits that break Roblox’s Terms of Use and can get your account banned.

Best entrance price in Theme Park Tycoon 2

Set the fee on the Park Information board next to your entrance, anywhere from $0 to $100. The wiki’s rule of thumb is floor(park value / 50,000 + star rating x 10), capped at $100 and accurate to about $1. It also links a Desmos calculator. Both numbers are on the information board.

Park value Star rating Entrance fee (formula)
$100,000 2 stars $22
$250,000 3 stars $35
$500,000 4 stars $50
$1,000,000 4.5 stars $65
$2,000,000 5 stars $90

If guests at the gate think “This park is too expensive to enter!”, lower the fee by a dollar. The wiki says no guest ever pays $100, so stay below the cap. The Friends Boost and Income Boost raise what you earn, not the price guests see.

Best prices for rides and stalls

The game doesn’t publish a “best price” for each ride. What it gives you is a default ticket price and live feedback. A loading-screen tip warns that raising ride and stall prices makes some guests stop using them, so “keep an eye on the visitor thoughts”. Use the guest overview on the information board:

  • “[Ride] is extremely cheap!“: the guest could pay a lot more. Raise the price.
  • “[Ride] is too expensive!“: the guest can’t afford it. Go back $1-2. The wiki notes that small coasters trigger this 30-50% of the time even at fair prices, and that nobody rides at $100.
  • “The consumptions at [stall] are great value!” means the stall is priced fairly; “too expensive” means drop it.

Start from the default ticket price (the wiki’s “Default Entry Cost” for each ride, checked October 27, 2026) and raise it as your rating climbs:

Ride Type Build cost Default ticket
Launched spinning coaster Coaster $2,750+ $31
Extreme launch / Hybrid / Multi-launch / Wooden coaster Coaster $1,500-$4,000+ $30
4D / Floorless / Suspended swinging coaster Coaster $2,000-$4,500 $29
Corkscrew / Steel / Vertical launch coaster Coaster $600-$2,000+ $25
Junior / Wild mouse / Spinning coaster Coaster $250-$700 $15
Log flume / Transport train Water / Transport $300+ $20
Slingshot / Double swing Intense $30,000-$40,000 $18
Jumper / Frisbee / Top spin / G-Force Intense $1,500-$35,000 $17
Ferris wheel / Dark ride Gentle $500-$16,000 $14
Carousel / Teacups Gentle $1,500-$5,000 $10-$12

Best rides for money in Theme Park Tycoon 2

A ride’s income ceiling is seats x ticket price x 60 / ride time in seconds, in dollars per minute when the queue is always full. The table applies that formula to the wiki’s seat counts, ride times and default tickets. It’s our calculation, not an in-game number. It ignores loading time, and real income depends on how many guests want the ride, so use it to compare rides.

Ride Seats Ride time Default ticket Ceiling per minute Build cost
Ferris wheel 48 60 s $14 ~$672 $16,000
Droptower 12 15 s (default height) $13 ~$624 $800+
Launched freefall 12 16 s $13 ~$585 $4,000
Twister 18 31 s $15 ~$523 $4,500
Balloon ride 32 91 s $15 ~$316 $17,500
Topple tower 25 91 s $16 ~$264 $12,000
Tumble train 22 91 s $16 ~$232 $17,500
Jumper 16 91 s $17 ~$179 $1,500

For a new park, the Droptower and Twister are the cheapest strong earners. Coasters charge the highest tickets but take longer and seat fewer guests per minute, unless you run several trains. That takes block brakes or extra stations; the wiki’s ride operations page lists up to 7 trains, which needs at least 8 stations. Some rides unlock through achievements or the level tree (the Launched freefall needs “A worthy park!” on the wiki), so check your build menu.

Best money farm in Theme Park Tycoon 2

A money farm is a part of your park built only for income: a tight block of short, high-capacity rides and lots of stalls close to the entrance, so guests spend constantly instead of walking. The wiki lists it as a standard way to earn money, and the fan-run TPT2 Workshop has two farm guides:

  • Money Farm (Disable Collisions): uses the Disable collisions pass to stack items. The Workshop says it “generates over $3,000,000 a day”. That’s their figure; we haven’t verified it.
  • Money Farm (No Collisions): a version without the pass that the Workshop says earns less.
  • No-Gamepass Money Farm Template by Thijmen0808 (updated November 30, 2025): design ID RD-176-423-216-080, uses a Junior Coaster and costs $1,660 to build. The creator’s note says to remove 2 blocks of terrain under the coaster so the blueprint sits at ground level, and that you can swap in your own coaster.

Whatever the layout, follow the guests’ needs. Every farm still needs food, drinks, restrooms, seats and trash cans in reach, or guests decide to leave. Guests who think “I want to leave the park!” never change their minds (wiki).

Theme Park Tycoon 2 blueprints and design ID codes

Blueprints are shared builds (coasters, buildings, whole scenery sets) that load from a design ID in the format RD-000-000-000-000. To use one:

  1. Copy the design ID.
  2. Paste it into the Theme Park Tycoon 2 search bar, or open the ride the blueprint uses and pick the import blueprint option.
  3. Own the game passes it lists (often Disable collisions, Extra colors and Ride operations), have enough cash to build it, and turn on legacy content if it uses a legacy ride.

“Could not load this Design-ID” almost always means a missing game pass, Disable collisions switched off, or the wrong (new vs legacy) ride, according to the Workshop’s FAQ. The Workshop also says that, under a new Roblox policy, players in the UK and Australia can no longer use third-party blueprints.

Blueprint (creator) Design ID Ride used Game passes Build cost
No-Gamepass Money Farm Template (Thijmen0808) RD-176-423-216-080 Junior Coaster None $1,660
Thijmen’s Tilt-Track Coaster [UPDATED] (Thijmen0808) RD-817-314-606-170 Corkscrew Coaster Disable collisions, Extra colors, Ride operations $277,705
Twisted Timbers (isjayyy891200) RD-993-451-369-604 Hybrid Coaster Disable collisions, Extra colors, Ride operations $546,047
Choo Choo Minetrain Coaster (Thijmen0808) RD-935-551-027-275 Mine Train Coaster Disable collisions, Extra colors, Ride operations $3,582,864
Park Security (ThunderAether249) RD-841-824-963-945 Junior Coaster (Legacy) Disable collisions, Extra colors $31,342

IDs are from the blueprint pages on themeparktycoon2.com, checked October 27, 2026. If you searched for “Theme Park Tycoon 2 .com”, that’s this site: an unofficial hub founded by TPT2 YouTuber Kosii, not the developer.

Theme Park Tycoon 2 image IDs and music

Image panels, image signs and flags take Roblox image (decal) IDs. Click the item, then pick a suggested image or one of your own decals, paste a decal ID, or search Roblox decals (wiki, Image panel page). The large image panel costs $750 and counts toward “The big picture!” achievement. Custom music is no longer available. The Jukebox pass went off sale in March 2022 when Roblox made most audio private, and the Roblox store still lists it as not for sale.

Game passes and prices (October 2026)

None of these are needed to play, but they unlock most advanced builds. Prices are from Roblox’s game-pass API at 22:30 UTC:

Game pass Price What it does
Disable collisions 270 Robux Place items inside each other and ignore most placement rules, plus finer snapping and rotation
24 extra expansion plots 374 Robux Expands a park from 40 to 64 plots of 16 x 16 cells
Enable ride operations 90 Robux Chain lift, boost, brake, friction and gravity settings, operation modes and ride sync
Extra colors 90 Robux RGB color picker for rides and items
Increased height limit 74 Robux per step +20 m each, up to 7 times (210 m max, wiki)

Unlocking every plot costs $1,600,000 plus 9,000 credits, according to the wiki. Plots bought with credits unlock on your other parks too.

How to get 5 stars and more guests

The wiki’s rating page lists what each star tier needs, on top of everything from the tiers below it:

Rating What you need
0.5 stars 1 ride, 1 food stall, 1 drink stall, 1 restroom
1 star 2 rides, trash cans no more than 6 tiles apart
1.5 stars 3 rides, 2 food, 2 drink, 2 restrooms
2 stars 5 seats or benches, 5 trash cans, 5 restrooms
2.5 stars 5 rides, 3 food, 3 drink
3 stars 2 roller coasters plus one gentle, intense and water ride (transport counts as gentle)
3.5 stars One of every stall, but only 2 souvenir types
4 stars 8 food, 8 drink, 8 restrooms, no trash on the ground
4.5 stars 10 food, 10 drink, 10 restrooms, every ride’s appearance above 1.5 (about 10 hedges and bushes within 3 tiles)
5 stars 3 of every food and drink stall, 1 of every souvenir stall, 3 large coasters (presets are fine), high happiness, no dead ends

The checklist predates the July 2026 umbrella stall, so treat it as a guide. For more guests and a stable rating, avoid dead-end paths and loop paths back on themselves, because lost guests head for the exit. Check that no guest is trapped behind a one-way sign: trapped guests can pull your rating down to as low as two stars. Guests ride transport rides only once and won’t use them to leave, so don’t make a train the only way into an area. Our step-by-step guide to a 5-star Theme Park Tycoon 2 park goes deeper on layouts.

Theme Park Tycoon 2 ideas for your park

  • Storm-ready park: since July 2026 your park gets rain and thunderstorms. Put umbrella stalls on main paths and covered queues by your big coasters. You can also set the weather yourself in the time-of-day and weather menu.
  • Night-time Halloween zone: set your park’s time of day to night (a per-park setting since April 2026), add thunderstorms, a dark ride and themed statues.
  • Tilt-track and turntable showpiece: build one headline coaster around the 2026 track pieces, such as a tilt track on a Multi-launch or a switch-track split on an Extreme launch coaster.
  • Space or castle themes: monorails and tall towers for a space area, or water, statues and stone buildings for a medieval area. Paint stalls to match each zone.
  • Multi-level park: lower the terrain for basement rides and caves when you run out of plots.
  • Recreations: the Workshop’s blueprint library is full of real-world coaster and ride recreations to load or study.

FAQ

Are there codes for Theme Park Tycoon 2?

No. There’s no code-redeem feature in the game, and neither the wiki nor the game page mentions one. Sites that promise free-money codes are wrong or are selling scripts. “ID codes” are blueprint design IDs and decal IDs (see above).

What is the best entrance price in Theme Park Tycoon 2?

About floor(park value / 50,000 + stars x 10), capped at $100, per the wiki. A 3-star park worth $250,000 can charge about $35. Lower it by $1 if guests say the park is too expensive to enter.

How do you make a money farm in Theme Park Tycoon 2?

Pack short, high-capacity rides (Droptower, Twister, Launched freefall) and plenty of stalls into a small looped area by the entrance, and price them just under the “too expensive” point. The free No-Gamepass Money Farm Template (RD-176-423-216-080) is a starting layout.

When was Theme Park Tycoon 2 last updated?

The Roblox page shows August 31, 2026. The last big content update was the 10th Anniversary Update with turntables, listed for August 21, 2026, after July’s Weather & Tilt Tracks update.

What is the max level in Theme Park Tycoon 2?

Level 91 since July 1, 2026 (wiki). Since April 2026 you choose one ride or stall to unlock per level from a tree.

Is themeparktycoon2.com official?

No. It’s the fan-run TPT2 Workshop, a free blueprint library and guide site founded by YouTuber Kosii. The official channels are the Roblox game page and the Theme Park Tycoon 2 Roblox group (about 685,000 members) owned by Den_S.
