Getting every achievement in Planet Coaster 2 is not hard, but it can waste a lot of time if you don’t understand what actually matters. This version cuts the fluff and explains things clearly so you can progress fast without getting stuck.
- Difficulty: Easy overall, but time-consuming
- Time: Around 20 to 60 hours depending on how efficiently you play
- Missables: None
- Multiplayer: Not required
You can unlock everything through Career + a bit of Sandbox cleanup.
The One System That Makes Everything Easier: Prestige
Prestige is the backbone of your entire park. If your rides have high prestige, everything else becomes easier, including money, guests, and park rating.
Here’s what actually increases prestige:
- High scenery score near rides (aim for 100)
- Good coaster stats
- Excitement: 6+
- Intensity: around 3 to 5
- Nausea: under 2
- Longer rides with better layouts
- Airtime hills and smooth pacing
The fastest way to boost scenery is using the mirroring tool with rotational symmetry. You can hit 100% scenery using very few props if placed smartly.
Also keep in mind:
- Prestige drops over time
- Around 10 to 15 years, rides become “Classic”
Pricing, Money
Unlike older games, pricing is simple.
- Start with Bargain pricing
- Switch to Dynamic pricing when queues stay full
High prestige automatically lets you charge more, so focus on improving rides instead of micromanaging prices.
Staff Setup
You don’t need perfect optimization. This setup works reliably:
- 2 Janitors + 1 Mechanic per 5 rides
- 1 extra mechanic for generators
- 1 dedicated janitor for heavy traffic areas
- 4 attendants for every 3 rides
- Vendors scale similarly
Avoid putting all staff in one building. Spread smaller staff buildings across the park so they don’t waste time walking.
Keeping Guests Happy
Guest mood directly affects your park rating, which many achievements depend on.
Here’s what people usually miss:
- Guests have different food preferences, not just hunger
- You need variety, not just one food type
- Weather matters:
- Hot → sunscreen
- Rain → umbrellas
- Snow → heaters (very important in queues)
For efficiency:
- Use modular souvenir shops instead of multiple small shops
- Place restaurants for better satisfaction
- Add guest service buildings early
Coaster Building Made Easy
You don’t need to be creative to get achievements.
For high excitement:
- Use lots of airtime hills
- Keep speed moderate, not extreme
- Aim for about 1-minute ride length
Reliable coaster types:
- Eurofighter (Drop Coaster): cheap and flexible
- Junior Coaster: small and easy
- Powered/Energy Coaster: keeps speed without lifts
If you just want achievements, not beauty, focus on stats over design.
Park Rating Explained
You need high park rating for many achievements. It’s based on four things:
1. Total Ride Prestige
Add more rides with good stats and scenery.
2. Scenery Rating
Spam high-value blueprints if needed. It works.
3. Unique Attractions
Different ride types count.
An easy trick is using multiple flume variations cheaply.
4. Park Reputation
This is the hardest one.
It depends on:
- Guest happiness
- Ride maintenance
- Food, drinks, and shops
- Total guests
If guests are unhappy, your rating stalls no matter what.
Campaign Achievements
There are 72 medals total across all scenarios.
To unlock everything:
- Complete all 4 chapters
- Earn Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum in each scenario
One important side task:
- Build a workshop early
- Assign a mechanic to generate research points
- Unlock all rides for the “research” achievement
Gameplay Achievements
These unlock just by playing:
- Build your first ride
- Build a coaster
- Build a flume
- Hire 10 staff

No special effort needed.
Ride Achievements
Instead of struggling, do this in Sandbox if needed:
- 2,500m coaster → just build a very long track
- 10+ inversions → use or copy a blueprint
- 100 mph speed → use a launch coaster
- 20 flumes → spam slides in one pool
- 100m drop → build high, then drop straight
You can even use shared blueprints to skip building entirely.
