Planet Coaster Cheat Codes: Complete List & Activation Guide

Planet Coaster has exactly 10 cheat codes, and every single one is activated the same way — by renaming something in your park. No console commands, no mods required. Rename a guest, a staff member, a ride, or a shop to the correct code, and the effect triggers immediately. Below you’ll find every code, what it does, and the exact steps to activate each one.

All codes listed here were verified as of the March 2026 build of Planet Coaster. Console versions use the same rename mechanic via the management panel.

All 10 Cheat Codes at a Glance

How to Activate Any Cheat Code

The activation method is identical regardless of which code you’re using — only the target object changes. Here’s the universal process:

1. Open your park in any game mode (Career, Sandbox, or Challenge).
2. Click the object you want to rename — a guest, staff member, ride, or shop depending on the code.
3. In the management panel, find the name field at the top.
4. Clear the existing name and type the cheat code exactly as listed — spelling matters, capitalization does not.
5. Press Enter or click away to confirm.

The effect activates immediately. There’s no confirmation prompt, no loading screen, no indicator that anything changed — it just works. Or in the case of MCLINTHE, you’ll know within seconds.

One thing worth noting: renaming a guest works for codes like JAMES TAYLOR, ANDY FLETCHER, ANDY CHAPPELL, DAVID GETLEY, MCLINTHE, and TEGIDCAM. Staff codes (LOCKETTMAN, STEVE WILKINS) require renaming a specific staff member. FRONTIER applies when you rename any ride. BOLLARD needs the Go-Kart track itself renamed, not a kart or a guest.

Ride Manipulation Codes: BOLLARD, JAMES TAYLOR, and ANDY FLETCHER

Three of the ten codes directly alter how rides behave, and the distinction between them matters more than it seems at first.

BOLLARD is a standalone experience. Rename the Go-Kart track itself to BOLLARD, then enter first-person ride cam on any kart. You get full manual control: W/A/S/D to drive, Shift to honk. This is the only code in the game that shifts you from park manager to actual participant. It doesn’t affect other rides or guests — it’s purely a perspective switch for the Go-Kart attraction.

JAMES TAYLOR reduces friction on all coasters park-wide the moment any guest is renamed. The effect isn’t dramatic to watch from the outside, but trains run slightly faster and maintain speed through sections where they’d normally bleed momentum. Critically, the effect extends to Log Flumes and River Rapids — it’s not limited to steel or wooden coasters. If you’ve built a layout that barely clears its timing requirements, this code can quietly fix the problem.

ANDY FLETCHER goes further. Where JAMES TAYLOR reduces friction, ANDY FLETCHER eliminates it entirely — zero friction on all rides, creating what the game internally treats as perpetual motion. Trains won’t slow down. Ever. This sounds fun until you have a coaster with a tight brake section designed around normal physics — it’ll blow through at full speed. Worth testing in Sandbox before applying to a carefully balanced Career park.

ANDY CHAPPELL is different from the friction codes. It targets a single guest, and when that specific guest boards a Go-Kart, their kart moves substantially faster than every other kart on the same track. It doesn’t affect the track physics globally — only that one guest’s vehicle. Useful for watching chaos unfold without affecting your coasters.

Guest and Staff Behavior Codes

These are the chaotic ones. Some are genuinely useful, a couple are purely for entertainment value, and one requires immediate damage control.

LOCKETTMAN turns a security guard into a wrecking ball. Rename any guard in your staff panel, and the next time they chase a criminal, they’ll body-slam every guest standing between them and their target. Guests go flying — literally launched into the air. It doesn’t cause them permanent harm in the simulation, but your happiness ratings will take a hit if it happens repeatedly near high-traffic areas. Best used when your park has a dedicated “chaos zone” you don’t mind disrupting.

DAVID GETLEY cranks up the crime rate park-wide when any guest receives that name. More vandalism, more pickpocketing, more criminal events spawning across the map. This stacks with park design factors — if your security coverage already has gaps, DAVID GETLEY will expose all of them at once. It’s a stress test. Useful if you want to evaluate whether your security team placement is actually adequate.

MCLINTHE is the mass vomit code, and yes, it’s as immediate as it sounds. Every guest in the park vomits simultaneously the moment you rename any shop MCLINTHE. The cleanup falls on your janitors. If you don’t have a First Aid Building already placed, build one before activating this — the guest illness chain reaction can spiral. Janitors get overwhelmed fast, and unhappy guests leave, taking their entrance fee with them.

TEGIDCAM is the most useful non-destructive code in this list. Rename any guest or staff member, and the camera immediately switches to a first-person view at ground level, controllable like a guest walking through your park. No height advantage, no overhead perspective — just your park at eye level. Great for spotting visual issues in path layouts, checking whether signage is legible from walking height, or just experiencing your own creation the way guests do.

Park Mechanics Codes: FRONTIER vs. STEVE WILKINS

These two are direct opposites, and understanding both is useful even if you’d never intentionally break your own park.

FRONTIER, activated by renaming any ride, reduces the breakdown rate on every ride in your park — not just the renamed one. This is a global effect with a single trigger. In Career mode, where maintenance costs and ride downtime directly impact your rating, FRONTIER acts as a soft difficulty reduction. Rides still require mechanics, but breakdowns become rare enough that two or three well-placed staff members can cover an entire park without scrambling. The effect persists as long as the ride carries the name.

STEVE WILKINS does the inverse. Rename any staff member, and breakdown frequency climbs dramatically across all rides park-wide. This isn’t a targeted nerf to one attraction — it’s a systemic pressure increase. The practical use case is testing: if you want to evaluate whether your mechanic coverage is actually sufficient, STEVE WILKINS will tell you faster than normal gameplay ever would. Every weak point in your maintenance staffing becomes visible within a few in-game hours.

Running both simultaneously doesn’t produce a neutral state — FRONTIER and STEVE WILKINS don’t cancel each other out in any predictable way. Don’t stack them unless you’re in Sandbox and specifically trying to break things.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do cheat codes work in Career mode?

Yes. All 10 codes function in Career, Sandbox, and Challenge modes without restriction. The game doesn’t flag or penalize you for using them in Career, though obviously codes like DAVID GETLEY and STEVE WILKINS can work against your own objectives if you’re not careful.

Does using cheat codes disable achievements?

Planet Coaster does not explicitly block achievements when cheat codes are active. That said, codes that directly make the game easier (FRONTIER, JAMES TAYLOR, ANDY FLETCHER) may trivialize some challenge-based achievements. Sandbox achievements are unaffected regardless.

Can you deactivate a cheat code once it’s on?

Yes — rename the object back to anything else and the effect ends. For FRONTIER, rename the ride to its original name. For guest/staff codes, rename them to something neutral. The effect stops immediately when the code name is removed.

Is “ANDY CHAPPELL” or “ANDY CHAPELL” correct?

Two P’s: ANDY CHAPPELL. The single-P spelling won’t trigger the code. This is the most commonly misspelled code in the list — the source material has occasionally printed it wrong. Double-check your spelling if the kart isn’t speeding up.

Does JAMES TAYLOR stack with ANDY FLETCHER?

They affect the same friction system. ANDY FLETCHER is the stronger version — full friction removal. Activating JAMES TAYLOR alongside it doesn’t produce any additional effect. Use one or the other, not both.

Do these codes work on Planet Coaster 2?

Planet Coaster 2 launched with a revised cheat system. The codes listed here are confirmed for the original Planet Coaster (including its console ports). As of March 2026, PC2 has not confirmed the same code list. Check the specific PC2 documentation separately.
