Ride design is crucial for increasing Excitement. Adding variety to a ride, while decreasing parts that cause discomfort or boredom for the rider, will increase the excitement rating. Generally, rides that have sections that enter the ground are more exciting than rides that stay above-ground. Also, rides that have portions of it going over water will have higher excitement ratings. Rides that have lots of sections with high Positive and Negative G- forces or high Lateral G's will have lower excitement ratings; this is evidenced by many rides built that have very low Excitement Ratings while also having ultra-extreme [[Intensity]] ratings - the excessive G-Forces of the ride make the ride not enjoyable, and the excitement rating suffers. An intensity rating must always stay below 10, for the ride to stay exciting.
Nearby scenery and theming
Also, having coasters interlocking themselves or others, or having pathways or other rides going trough loops or corkscrews also greatly improves excitement ratings.
Some rides will characteristically have lower Excitement ratings than other rides. [[Roller Coaster]]s will typically have the highest excitement ratings, followed by [[Water Rides]] and [[Thrill Rides]], then [[Gentle Rides]] and [[Transport Rides]], although there are exceptions in each category. Since riders will pay more to ride a more exciting ride, it is typical, in a [[Admission#Pay-Per-Ride Park|pay-per-ride park]], to have the Roller Coasters have the highest admission cost, since they are (usually) the most exciting. ▼
If you add scenery or interlocking tracks/paths, it will take a few seconds for the ride to recalculate the new excitement rating. In older versions you might have to close the ride and test it again to get the new value.

==Scale==
Excitement is measured on a (nominally) 10-point scale, where higher numbers represent higher excitement ratings. Ratings above 10 are possible, but ratings below 0.00 are not.
