The selection of amusement rides is the core of investment and operation for large amusement parks, directly determining the park's visitor traffic, reputation, and profitability. Many newly built and renovated parks suffer from severe homogenization, low visitor retention, and failure to pass inspections due to blind selection, unbalanced combinations, and insufficient compliance. This article, based on the latest "Safety Technical Regulations for Large-Scale Amusement Facilities" (TSG 71-2023), shares a set of practical equipment selection techniques for large amusement parks to help parks operate in compliance and achieve stable profitability.

I. Define Park Positioning and Precisely Match Equipment

Equipment selection must align with the overall positioning of the park and its target customer group, avoiding blind procurement. Comprehensive theme parks need to include landmark large-scale rides, family-friendly and immersive rides to cater to visitors of all ages; thrill-seeking adventure parks focus on high-altitude, high-speed dynamic rides, targeting younger consumers; family-friendly parks prioritize gentle, safe, and highly interactive small and medium-sized rides to suit family outings. Precise positioning and matching can fundamentally avoid problems such as idle equipment and fragmented experiences.

II. Uphold Compliance and Control Safety Standards

Compliance and safety are the core prerequisites for amusement park operation. All special equipment must possess a complete set of qualifications, including production licenses, type test reports, and factory certificates of conformity. During procurement, strict verification of details such as equipment protective devices, emergency braking, and anti-slip and flame-retardant materials is required to ensure full compliance with safety standards, guarantee successful acceptance, and mitigate operational safety risks.

III. Scientifically Combine Equipment to Balance Visitor Attraction and Profitability

A high-quality equipment combination follows the logic of "attracting visitors + retaining customers + increasing revenue": large Ferris wheels, roller coasters, and other landmark equipment create popular photo spots in the park; carousels, train tracks, and other family-friendly equipment increase repeat purchase rates; and low-cost, low-maintenance non-powered equipment enriches the play experience, combining dynamic and static elements, and high and low stimulation to effectively extend visitor dwell time and improve overall park revenue.

IV. Select Reliable Manufacturers: Zhengzhou Huajin Amusement Equipment Co., Ltd.

Besides the equipment itself, the core of equipment selection relies heavily on high-quality source manufacturers. Zhengzhou Huajin Amusement Equipment Co., Ltd. has been deeply involved in the industry for nearly 20 years.

V. Reasonable Cost Control, On-the-Spot Acceptance and Operation

Parks need to allocate equipment according to their area and budget. Large parks should consider landmark, family-friendly, and popular rides, while small and medium-sized parks should focus on high-cost-performance family-friendly and non-powered rides. After the equipment arrives on site, it must undergo rigorous acceptance and commissioning, and regular maintenance must be carried out to ensure the long-term stable and safe operation of the park.
