Theme Park Studio

Theme Park Studio is a suite of tools for designing, building and experiencing amusement parks. You sculpt terrain, lay out paths, create rides and scenery, then open the park to guests or take a first-person tour and ride your creations. Parks can be shared online, and Steam Workshop integration lets you browse and publish parks, rides, custom scenery and environments.

Shape the park

Sculpt terrain or import height maps and textures to make landscapes, lakes, rivers, knolls and mountains. Set the entrance and use curved path tools to lay out walkways; you can also generate fences and stairs and place procedural trees. Water parameters include speed, level, color and ripple size.

Fill the park with restaurants, gift shops and bathrooms from the built-in libraries, or import custom meshes for environmental objects. Procedural vegetation tools let you add grass, trees, hedges, bushes and flower beds, with trees shaped by wind and turbulence settings. The particle effects engine can create fountains, fireworks, smoke, fire, torches and weather effects, as well as triggered effects for shows or rides passing through water.

Create rides

You can bend, twist and shape coaster rails, adding brakes, accelerators and tunnels or sending the track through custom meshes such as a volcano. Prefabricated pieces can help with designs such as a batwing or cobra roll. You can also choose pre-built rides from the library.

The custom flat-ride designer lets you build rides using objects connected by custom joints. You can apply physics and animate those objects using torque, force, dampened torque, dampened force, position, rotation and scale. Alternatively, place a pre-built flat ride with its physics and animation included.

Run and share your park

Once the park is open, guests tour it and ride the coasters and flat rides. You can take a first-person tour and experience the rides yourself, including in VR. Parks can be saved and archived, and the Publish feature lets you upload creations to Steam Workshop. You can also browse community-made parks, rides, scenery and environments through Workshop integration.
