Summary
Rollercoasters are naturally the highlight ofPlanet Coaster, and while players are likely more excited about designing their own rides or downloading creations from other fans, the base game still has a great selection of blueprint coasters to purchase.
In terms of thebest coasters inPlanet Coaster, the biggest metric is the excitement rating,as this will draw in more guestsand leave them happy once the ride is over. However, there is also a fear rating, which has a sweet spot of around 2-6, with a decent amount of fear generating curiosity, but too much fear will put off guests altogether. Furthermore, a ride with too many inversions can make guests feel nauseous.

Labrys is easily one of the most intriguing coasters in the game, and for its price, it is an absolute bargain. Despite not looking too special, first-time riders will be in for a shock halfway through their experience, as after going forward, they will be dropped back down and repeat the coaster backward.
As such, Labrys has a fairly high Nausea rating that will cause some guests to be sick. Although it doesn’t have the highest excitement rating, this leg-dangler will nonetheless draw in many customers, and beyond its cheap price tag of $6,267, another advantage is how little space it takes up. In fact, Labrys is a similar size tothe thrill rides inPlanet Coaster.

Steel Vengeance is a hybrid coaster, meaning that the track is made of steel, but the supports are wooden. It also happens to be a real rollercoaster from the Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio. This is just one of the manytheme parks players may want to recreate.
Despite looking fairly simple from a distance, riders will be surprised to find themselves upside down at times, and yet the nausea rating is fairly low.

Frenzy is a giga coaster that is similar to the larger Impulse, and serves as a cheaper alternative that doesn’t take up as much space. The coaster has a huge bank to kick things off after the initial drop, and from there on, guests can expect a series of dips.
The scariest thing about Frenzy, which boasts a fear rating of 5.22, is that guests will feel as though they won’t make it up the next rise, but before they know it they will be at the top of the peak and on their way down again. In this way, the momentum feels perfectly balanced.

Guests who prefergentle rides inPlanet Coasterwill be staying far away from the likes of Altitude, which as its name suggests, is the tallest coaster in the game. The concept of Altitude is simple: guests will be shot up directly in the air with a corkscrew to make things even scarier, and then, coming round the bend, they will shoot back down face first to the ground, with another corkscrew in the mix.
As such, the ratings for excitement, fear, and nausea are all high, and players can expect it to become one of their most popular attractions. Of course, the price tag of $32,573 is nothing to take lightly, but over the years, the investment will more than pay itself off.

Out of all the default coasters inPlanet Coaster, Impulse is the biggest, and so, naturally, it has a high cost, which players will only be able to afford once they have figured outhow to make money fast.
This coaster seems to be inspired by The Big One from Blackpool Pleasure Beach and sees guests face a huge drop, which accounts for the high ratings for excitement and fear alike. Players will need plenty of space to place this attraction, and they will likely want to plan their park around it.

Despite not being the biggest coaster or even looking that interesting, Downforce has the highest excitement rating in the game, although players can try to top this bybuilding their own realistic design.
However, for just $13,653, players will find no better bargain in the game, as this coaster will easily be one of the most popular at any resort and drive up ticket sales. In terms of layout, Downforce sees guests race up into the air, and bank to come hurtling down at impressive speeds. With race cars used as seats, this isone theme players could design around inPlanet Coaster.
