Start a new park for the Beach map
The Beach map is a version 1.0 addition. The official announcement explicitly states that a new park is required because layouts do not transfer. Plan it as a fresh construction and operating project: rebuild slides and pools, restore the ticket and food layer, preserve access for cleaning, repairs, and rescues, and organize staff around the new layout.
Do not begin with the assumption that an existing park can be copied across. The handoff does not support an import method or layout-transfer workaround. Preserve the original park and use the Beach save as a separate context for new decisions. That prevents accidental loss while keeping the guide aligned with the announced limitation.
A fresh map is also an opportunity to apply the operating lessons from the first park. Reserve readable routes, keep attraction exits and service access clear, and review cleanliness, slide fun, food quality, and guest happiness as the park grows. These are planning principles based on verified systems, not claims that Beach changes the rating formula.
- Preserve the existing park rather than expecting its layout to transfer.
- Create the Beach map as a new park.
- Rebuild the attraction, service, staff, and direct-work layers for the new layout.
- Review the four named rating inputs as the Beach park develops.
Treat Aztec, Sea, and Pirate as research themes
Aztec, Sea, and Pirate are named as themes in the 1.0 research expansion. They should not be counted as additional maps without new first-party evidence. “Beach” identifies the verified map context; the three themes identify research directions that can shape park presentation.
The announcement does not provide exact unlock costs, branch order, or rating bonuses for the themes. Check the live Museum for current requirements and use the Research reference to understand the verified three-NPC, three-currency, three-branch structure. Keeping the terms separate prevents an attractive visual theme from being reported as a save slot or layout-transfer feature.
When planning a themed Beach park, make the two decisions independently: start the new map because layouts do not transfer, then pursue the desired theme through the current research interface. That sequence follows the supported systems without inventing a shortcut between them.
| Name | Verified type | Planning consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Beach | Map | Requires a new park; layouts do not transfer. |
| Aztec | Research theme | Check the live Museum for current unlock details. |
| Sea | Research theme | Do not treat it as the Beach map. |
| Pirate | Research theme | No numeric bonus is claimed by this reference. |
Frequently asked questions
Does my existing layout transfer to the Beach map?
No. The official version 1.0 announcement says a new park is required because layouts do not transfer to Beach. Preserve the existing park as its own layout and approach Beach as a separate build. The reviewed handoff does not establish an import, conversion, or automatic carry-over workflow for the physical park design.
Are Aztec, Sea, and Pirate separate maps?
The reviewed evidence identifies Aztec, Sea, and Pirate as research themes, not as separate maps. Beach is the confirmed map addition. Treat the theme names as part of the Museum research structure unless a later first-party source explicitly changes their role; do not turn visual themes into unsupported map claims.
Can I import my old park into Beach?
The sealed handoff does not support an import or transfer workaround. Preserve the old park and start Beach as a separate new park. Player knowledge can still guide the new layout, but the official version 1.0 announcement specifically distinguishes the park files by stating that existing layouts do not transfer to the Beach map.
Do themes provide confirmed rating bonuses?
No numeric rating bonus for Aztec, Sea, or Pirate is established by the sealed sources. Use the live research interface for current unlock information and judge the park through the verified rating inputs: cleanliness, slide fun, food quality, and guest happiness. A theme name alone is not evidence of a fixed rating multiplier.
