Revision 6

Overview

Bliss Bay Amusement Park is a community lot located on a pier extending over the water in Bliss Bay, on the eastern side of the city. Inspired by real-world piers like the Santa Monica Pier, the park features nine rides, carnival food stalls, arcade games, and playground attractions. It opens daily at 9:00 AM, with rides beginning operation at 10:00 AM, and closes at 8:00 PM. After dark, the park transforms into a fireworks display that illuminates the night sky, visible from across the city.

Attractions and Activities

The park serves as both a recreation destination and a workplace. Zois of all ages can enjoy the rides, food, and carnival games, while those looking for employment can pursue the Amusement Park career, with positions ranging from Cashier to Office Team Lead. Because the park is exclusive to Bliss Bay, Zois must live in this city to work here. A ride operator must be present at the queue for rides to function, so some rides may be unavailable if no operator is on shift.

Players can also purchase amusement park rides through Build Mode and place them on their own lots. These purchasable rides appear in the "Other" tab of the furniture menu and allow Zois to enjoy carnival thrills without visiting the park.

Rides

The park features nine rides in total. Each ride costs 10 Meow. Tickets must be purchased at the ticket office before boarding each ride. Only one Zoi can ride at a time; if the ride is occupied, others must wait for the current rider to finish.

How to Ride

Getting on a ride involves a few steps. The park gates open at 9:00 AM, but ride operators do not arrive at their stations until 10:00 AM. Once an operator is standing beside the queue line, players can hover over the queue entrance to highlight it and click to send their Zoi to ride. The Zoi will automatically walk to the ticket office first, pay the 10 Meow fee, and then proceed to the ride. If another Zoi is already on the ride, your Zoi will wait in the queue until the current rider finishes.

Not every ride will have a supervisor next to it at all times, but Zois can still queue and board rides even when the operator is not immediately visible. Rides that have no operator stationed nearby may simply be unavailable until one arrives.

Ride Effects on Mood

Riding certain attractions may leave Zois feeling uncomfortable afterward, which can affect their mood and needs. The rollercoaster is particularly notable for triggering the Uncomfortable emotion after the ride ends. Since being uncomfortable can slow down skill development (such as Housework), players should be mindful of how often they send their Zois on thrill rides. To recover, Zois can eat food, use the bathroom, take a bath, or simply rest until the emotion fades.

The rollercoaster is also notable for its first-person cutscene that gives players a rider's-eye view of the track. The camera switches to the Zoi's perspective as the coaster climbs, drops, and turns, which can be disorienting but is one of the most immersive moments in the game.

"Wants To Ride a Ride" Urge

Zois with the Autonomy value may develop the "Wants To Ride a Ride" urge, which reflects their desire for freedom and excitement. The in-game description reads: "This Zoi wants to enjoy a carnival ride!" Fulfilling this urge by riding any amusement park attraction (either at Bliss Bay or a ride placed on a home lot through Build Mode) rewards the Zoi with Meow coins and triggers the Excited emotional state.

Food and Vendors

Several food stalls operate throughout the park. The food vendors are the first to open their stations each day, arriving at 9:00 AM alongside the general park entrance. This means Zois who arrive early can grab a snack while waiting for the rides to start operating at 10:00 AM. The park also has vending machines scattered along the pier.

No full restaurants currently operate inside the park. The food stalls and vending machines provide quick snacks to keep Zois' Hunger need from dropping too low during a day of rides and activities. The convenience store inside the park also stocks snacks and drinks, and its shelves are restocked by Cashier employees as part of their afternoon tasks.

Other Attractions

Beyond the nine rides, the amusement park pier offers several additional activities and points of interest.

Fireworks

After the park closes at 8:00 PM, the pier hosts a nightly fireworks display. The fireworks launch over the ocean and can be watched from multiple vantage points around Bliss Bay. Viewing them from the Ferris Wheel before closing time creates a particularly romantic experience, making it a popular choice for dates and special occasions.

The display illuminates the skyline and is one of the signature nighttime attractions of Bliss Bay. Because the fireworks happen every night, they are a reliable way to end an evening at the park. Zois who stay near the pier after 8:00 PM will watch the show automatically. The fireworks are also visible from other locations across the city, including the beach and boardwalk area.

Career Opportunities

The amusement park is home to several career positions, all of which are active jobs. Active careers mean players accompany their Zoi to the workplace and complete timed tasks and mini-games throughout the shift. All amusement park positions share the same schedule: shifts run on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Only Young Adult, Adult, and Middle-Aged Zois are eligible for employment.

The career positions at the amusement park are split into separate job lines. The Cashier position belongs to the Convenience Store Employee line and has no promotion path; it is a standalone role. The Office Worker and Office Team Lead belong to the Office Employee line, with Office Worker serving as the entry-level position and Office Team Lead as the promoted role. The Field Worker is its own standalone job line with no promotions.

Cashier

The Cashier works in the park's convenience store. Morning tasks include cleaning the store floor (5 times), watching the counter for 60 minutes, and changing into a uniform. Afternoon tasks involve restocking the brochure stand, the convenience store snack shelf, and the glass-door drink refrigerator. The uniform change task has a strict one-hour deadline; missing it counts as a failed objective.

Office Worker

The Office Worker handles the park's administrative tasks from a desk. Morning responsibilities include writing promotional copy on the computer (45 minutes), handling visitor complaints on the computer (45 minutes), and changing into a uniform. Afternoon tasks involve planning events and activities (45 minutes) and analyzing visitor data (45 minutes). Completing these tasks consistently leads to promotion to Office Team Lead.

Field Worker

The Field Worker operates out in the park itself. Morning tasks include inspecting a ride entrance, lifting visitors' spirits using a Money Gun or by dancing (5 times), cleaning amusement park tables (3 times), cleaning floors (3 times), and changing into a uniform. The afternoon task is inspecting another ride entrance. This is the most physically active position at the park.

Office Team Lead

The Office Team Lead is the highest-paid position at the park, earning 1,550 Meow per shift. It is the promoted rank within the Office Employee job line, reached by performing well as an Office Worker. The Team Lead oversees park operations from the office.

Career Tips

Getting There

The amusement park is located on the eastern pier of Bliss Bay. Players can reach it by opening the map (M key) and selecting the park as a destination, then choosing "Go Here" to have their Zoi travel there via the bus system, by car, or on foot. The park is adjacent to the beach areas and within walking distance of Sunset Bay. Because Bliss Bay is modeled after Santa Monica, the pier sits prominently on the coastline and is easy to spot on the city map.

Tips

• Buy tickets from the ticket office before queuing for a ride. You cannot board without a ticket, and each ride costs 10 Meow.

• Arrive at the park before 10:00 AM to grab food from the stalls while waiting for the rides to open. The food vendors start serving at 9:00 AM.

• Visit during the evening to catch the fireworks show from the Ferris Wheel for a scenic and romantic experience.

• Bring children to enjoy the Bumper Cars and Little Train, which are restricted to kids only. Adult Zois cannot use these two rides.

• If a ride is occupied, wait nearby rather than leaving the queue. Only one Zoi can ride at a time, and the queue system works on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Watch out for the Uncomfortable emotion after riding the rollercoaster. Eating food, sleeping, or using the bathroom can help your Zoi recover.

• The Cashier position is the most accessible career entry point at the park, requiring no prior experience. It pays 310 Meow per shift.

• If your Zoi has the Autonomy value and develops the "Wants To Ride a Ride" urge, fulfilling it at the park grants Meow coins and the Excited emotion.

• Placing an amusement park ride on your own lot through Build Mode lets your Zoi satisfy ride urges without traveling to the park.

• The park is a great location for social outings. Bring friends or a romantic partner for a memorable day of rides, food, and fireworks.
