Building a medium-sized amusement park is a massive and complex project that involves several steps, and the time and investment costs can vary depending on specific circumstances. Below are some general steps and possible time estimates for constructing an amusement park (if you need a more detailed amusement park solution, feel free to contact Beston Rides):
Planning and Market Research (3-6 months)
Before deciding to build an amusement park, market research and feasibility studies are necessary. This includes identifying target audiences, competitors, selecting a location, and planning the theme and features of the park.
Land Acquisition and Preparation (6-12 months)
Identify and acquire suitable land. The land may require preparation work, such as levelling and clearing, which can take approximately six months to a year.
Design and Planning (6-12months)
Engage professional designers and planners to create detailed designs and layout plans for the amusement park. Consider involving a reputable amusement equipment manufacturer, as major manufacturers often have dedicated design and planning departments. This stage also includes obtaining necessary permits and approvals.
Construction and Infrastructure Development (12–24 months)
Begin construction of buildings, including amusement facilities, restaurants, restrooms, and essential infrastructure such as power and water supply.
Installation of Amusement Equipment and Devices (12–18 months)
Production, delivery, and installation of amusement equipment, games, and other entertainment facilities in designated locations. The manufacturing cycles vary for different amusement rides, with some taking 2-3 weeks, others requiring 2 months, and larger attractions like Ferris wheels or roller coasters potentially needing 4-6 months. Particularly for custom orders, the timeline may extend even further.
Theme and Landscape Design (6-12 months)
Engage in landscape design to create a unique theme and atmosphere for the amusement park. Landscape design becomes a canvas for crafting an immersive theme in the amusement park. Thoughtful placement of greenery, water features, and architectural elements enhances the overall atmosphere, ensuring a memorable visitor experience.
Staff Recruitment and Training (3-6 months)
Recruit and train a dedicated team, emphasizing safety protocols for personnel, service excellence for staff, and technical expertise for maintenance personnel. Building a skilled workforce ensures a secure and enjoyable park experience for visitors.
Operation Testing and Adjustments (3-6 months)
Conduct thorough operational tests before the grand opening, identifying and addressing potential issues. Make necessary adjustments to equipment and processes to ensure a seamless and safe experience for visitors from day one.
Park Opening and Operations (Ongoing)
The amusement park officially opens, and ongoing activities include marketing, event planning, and maintenance.
In general, it takes approximately 1–3 years to construct a medium-sized amusement park. However, the duration of each task can be expedited based on specific circumstances while ensuring quality. It’s important to note that the above time estimates are for reference only, and the actual timeline may vary based on the project’s scale, geographical location, regulatory requirements, and other factors.
