Star Shape

The Star Shape is a Thrill Ride in the game Parkitect. It consists of a large, pendulum-like arm with seats mounted to six individually pivoting arms attached to a rotating central mount. With a footprint of 6x8 tiles and a height at standstill of 8 units, it is currently the largest flat ride in Parkitect, which is also reflected in its $2,500 price tag. However, it is a guest favourite and will pull a large amount of riders, and it will gobble up lines thanks to its excellent capacity of 24 riders per cycle. This makes the Star Shape one of the most profitable flat rides in Parkitect, and its iconic appearance lets it serve as a centrepiece attraction for an area in most parks. However, its high Nausea stat and high capacity means there will be a lot of guests throwing up outside its exit, warranting a dedicated janitor to keep the path clean.

When placing the Star Shape's entrance and exit, it is important to note the staircases leading up to the base of the ride. In order to minimise time spent embarking and disembarking, the entrance and exit should be placed as close as possible to those stairs. Note that not all guests will use the same staircases to find their seats, nor will they walk on the walkways on the short ends of the base. The ride has no parts poking outside its footprint during operation, meaning it is possible to enclose the Star Shape in a building as wide and deep as its base.
