In this episode we look into your Entrance Areas! To keep the episode length down (he says, at 46 mins, lol), we focus on the configuration of your entrance areas, then look in depth at Turnstiles and Ticket offices.
Today:
Entrance Area Configuration (what you need in the area)
Turnstiles
Tickets
(PRO) Turnstiles with TMTK
(PRO) Tickets with TMTK
This ended up being a combined "how to" video too. It felt like I should be showing you how to do things rather than just telling you about them....
The series is split into 2 difficulty levels: BASIC and PRO. The idea is that if you are a new player or a console player without access to Theme Maker's Toolkit items then you can still create realistic parks but the Pro's amongst us can sink their teeth into the Pro level and really put their PC's to the test!

I recently started watching your series and it's amazing. You have probably done the best tutorials on TH-cam so far and It's so good listening to you. Sounds like you're someone nice to have a beer with :)
I'm bloody lovely! I know because I have to live with me daily...
Nah, I joke, thanks so much! It's nice to be able to put my training qualifications into good use despite not being in training anymore. So, glad to have you along for the ride :)
Well, it might be a joke but its also true :)
I'm so happy for this series. Seeing the entrance configs practically made me uh...
i love these so much. been playing the game for a while and i just can’t seem to be good at it. this is gonna improve me so much!
The details you add are things that ought to be part of PlanCo gameplay.
I totally agree.. These sorts of things kinda make an appearance in Planet Zoo with staff rooms, keepers huts etc. It would be nice to have a kitted out admin office, space for staff etc in PlanCo too. I doubt we will see it in 1 and probably not 2 either because it just doesn't create engaging game-play
Second time watching these through now I’m taking notes like I’m in university, so many great tips! Much appreciated. Question about the park entrance I noticed wasn’t covered…Do you place that at the edge of the map/tunnel and use the turnstiles as a mock entry? Thanks in advance.
Ahh awesome question... So, for the most part, yes. The Spawn point and in-game park gates are usually hidden away, so the park guests are already "in the park" by the time they get to the turnstiles. This also means that you can place your food, drink and fastpass units at the park entrance without having to break the game to make them work.. :)
I feel like Daniel Radcliffe is narrating this video and I love it. You have almost the same voice! Thanks for the tutorial, it's really helpful!
It's funny you say that.. loads of others have said that too, but I don't see it myself..
@@Nerdchacho oh, believe me, it's quite similar though not exactly the same, of course. 😅
One tip for you that I've noticed can help. Some keyboard shortcuts could help a lot on moving things, tapping x again in advanced move switches between move and rotate quickly, and spacebar turns angle snap on and off. Also, using the world orientation vs the part orientation can help moving tilted things straight up and down.
broooooooooooooooo with the roto shortcut you saved me the year it took to comment 😂
Where did you find the business men/women? Cant find them on workshop anymore besides 1-2 but they arent the same as yours
Them ones are, I think, Studios pack anamatronics...
Really interesting, great video mate ! I also made a video about entrance in my Planet Coaster Academy video series, but you did it way better ! A lot of nice tips here, keep going ! Congrats
Do we keep crossing over with our topics? I promise I'm not following you around! haha
@@Nerdchacho haha yes we keep crossing ! I know you are not following me on that don't worry ;)
It's actually a good things, I like to see how other people handle some topics It's interesting to see differents point of view. And you go really hard on the realistic part, cant wait for the next video :)
@@Baneif What's your next topic? I'll record the video response to it now! haha :D
@@Nerdchacho Haha deal ! Don't know yet the next topic maybe about buildings or coaster theming and decorations
So how can you place a building on path?
Just to put it out there mate. I watch every episode til the end.
Much appreciated! Thank you... :D
Where can you find the signs in the console edition?
Very helpful tips n tricks
Yay! You're welcome. I'm open to making some for ones I've missed too... :)
do i need the expansions to have access to most of this stuff?
Me:Buys Planet coaster. Let's it become his newest hyperfocus. Spends 3 hours on a basic outline of his park entrance. Decides to look up youtube tutorials because details are important and perfection is not perfect enough.
NerdChacho: plinky plonky turnstiles, bish bash bosh ticket windows building. Easy as you like, Bob's your uncle.
Me: 🥲
Moomin Littlesocks says something similar about / to me too.. I'm starting to become very hyper aware that I might just be quite efficient at building in this game haha
Yo man just found u. U make great videos. But how do u get those roofs up because I can’t place a roof when it’s not on a building? Keep up the videos man doing great!!
Thanks for joining the party!! If you're on the PC, hold down the shift key and you can raise any gridded piece up. If you're not using a gridded piece then you can press "X" to use the advanced move tool :)
@@Nerdchachothank u so much!! U give me a lot of inspiration but I am stil not good at building. But you’re videos are always great!!!
hey there so I have a quick question, where do you put the actual park entrance pieces?
i would put them near the guest spawner, doing it at the actual park gate manipulates the paths and makes it look quite strange
I bury the "actual" park entrances near to the guest spawner in the hill etc. That way, you're not left with unforgiving entrances to work with.. So, the guests are already in your park before they get to your fake entrance.. Means they may buy food and drink when they get there too, making that part more realistic.. :)
I mean, is this some kind of family business park? The cashiers looks related.
They're all twinsies.....
@@Nerdchacho Good jokes aside, love your content. New to the game. Thanks! :D
A lot of this is not on console.... I'm so jealous!
HOW DO I DO THE GREY GROUND no one will ever explain how to do something other than paths..
OK. Well, firstly we don't shout. There is no need for it.
Secondly, have a look at the tutorial I did called paths and plazas. That will give you everything you need... :)
WELL HELLOOOOOOOO ENTRANCE AREA
I'm following closely behind you! :)
10:33
Or you can just go get a turnstyle from the workshop.
Tell me you didn't watch to 23:51 without telling me you didn't watch to 23:51....
Once again, great video! Thanks for uploading.
So, in my park I'm going for the record for 20 coasters in 1 park with sizes comparable to a Cedar Point, Magic Mountain, or Energylandia - that's who my park is "competing" with. To do so, I'm breaking up the park into "zones" of up to 3 coasters and up to 5 flat rides and then ample facilities for a total of between 7-8 zones depending on if the two kiddie areas are considered 1 zone. Similar to Cedar Point, these are all custom layouts as well outside of a boomerang and Mauer sky loop so cost isn't really much of an obstacle.
One of those zones I want to make an indoor attachment to the main entrance building to theoretically have a full zone that can operate year round. This zone would have a Schwartzkopf Quimera or Mindbender-inspired travelling looper, a Gerstlauer 320 inspired Eurofighter (though I am thinking of switching to an El Loco so all ages can ride) and a Mauer Sky Loop. All coaster max out at ~30m but are positioned to have their highest points in the same approximate area for more efficient roofing and the "converted" Warehouse building that houses this zone is sunk into the ground about 2 stories.
Do you have any suggestions for this from a realism standpoint for flat ride lineup / layout or things to consider when making proper buildings to house a 30m coaster and maybe suggestions for queue / path layouts for really crammed indoor amusement areas?
Also, feel free to poach any of these ideas if you like them. I personally would love to see you add a traveling Schwartzkopf looper to Fundy Funspot. Seems like something that would occasionally travel through and the owners would put it up as an upcharge ride or something.
OMG, this sounds amazing! Are you going for a theme in particular?
@@Nerdchacho I might be biting off more than I can chew quite frankly haha
Theme is a North American Amusement Park & Botanical Gardens grounds. I guess the Busch Garden's park are the best example, but even without the semi theming they do and if I can I want to incorporate a botanical gardens perimeter on two sides with entrances into the park. You get admission to one you can enter the other and such.
It's more supposed to resemble an old family park & garden next to a foothill between the city and mountains with 2 wooden coasters that grew over time after a successful Arrow looping prototype inspired by Loch Ness Monster in the mid 70s, mostly because Arrow HQ was in Utah making it easier since this park is set in the Rocky Mountains. Similarly, they were able to open an Arrow Hyper in the 80s right around the same time as Cedar Point with MXL200 and got in an arms race with CP and Magic Mountain ever since.
Hi, watched this video on release and didn’t implement much straight away. Now watching again whilst building an entrance, so helpful. I am sure these videos will be helpful for ages! Thanks
Thanks so much!! I'd consider it a success if just one single thing in the whole video is helpful!! Here's hoping they don't release PC2 and I have to re-do them all over again! :D
I’d probably have a few more staff with the turnstiles. Where I work we have one staff member for every 2 turnstiles (plus wheelchair/pushchair gate)
And I bet that isn't a Merlin park...
@@Nerdchacho 🤪
I have all dlc but half the amount of fencing you have. Seems as if all the dlc content isnt loading unless im seeing theme maker objects in there.
You're seeing many thememaker took it items in there...
Great video one question , the extractor on the bathrooms who is that by?
I can’t get the big plaza on ps5, it just wont work, wont go wider than the 10. is there some special trick I need to do 😂
Have a look at ep 2 and 3 of this tutorial series :)
I have base game on steam but I dont see all the building items on my system that you have on yours.
Most of the stuff I have are theme makers toolkit items.. TMTK...
I'm saving for a pc and I've only got about £150 to go which will be earned in a few weeks due to the jobs I'm doing. Bring on tmtk.
Your life is about to be turned upside down 🤣
What ya getting?
@@Nerdchacho I dont know the pacific parts of the pc but my uncle works with computers and he said the rams quite good for planco and the graphics card is quite a serious peice of kit so I'm pretty exited
Great job. I love these build alongs. I’m constantly pausing while working on my park
