Fairytale Band?

[KickAir8p]

When was the Fairytale Band (not a DLC piece) added to the Windows version of the game? I remember a post that included mentioning it was recent a few years ago, the first time I remember seeing/using it was in 2018 (which doesn't mean much, that's not one of my fave themes).

I'm not positive, but I thought it was part of the original game release?

You would think so! And when I first used it in 2018, after saying to myself “Self, I don't remember seeing this before”, I thought it was and I'd just missed it (which happens a sometimes, given my focus and how much stuff's in the game -- there's some animated sprinkler objects that I recently thought were Studios, but nope, main game, probably original release).

But I remember a little after that somebody posting (it would've had to have been back on the old forum, but the post should've been moved here) that it had been added in one of the seasonal updates, like the Holiday Duet (and a lot of other scenery/building stuff) was added in the 2016 Winter Update. Searching, both with the forum's search function (ick) and with Google site search, isn't finding it. Any help?

That's it! Thx oodles! Wonder why searching for "fairytale band" both here and via Google's site search didn't turn that up -- anyway, much appreciated!

Edited to add: this is the Spring Update topic they're referring to:

IMPORTANT: - Spring Update 1.2 - Update Notes

One of the unspecified “Over 150 new scenery pieces” mentioned in the post.

Hmm it seems to me Google's algorithm™ cares more about site popularity than content relevance. When I search there, the first 3 pages don't contain frontier forums threads at all (instead I get a bazillion vaguely related youtube videos). Even when searching "planet coaster fairytale band site:forums.frontier.co.uk" I only find your thread.

My primary search engine is DuckDuckGo, when searching there for "planet coaster fairytale band" the 2nd result is your thread and the 3rd result is the thread I linked. That is not to say that DuckDuckGo yields better results in general, but it is always good to have more than one search engine at hand.

That's why I used the site search at https://www.google.com/advanced_search , that should've found it (didn't).

Fond as I am of DuckDuckGo, their dedication to a bare-bones interface means they won't put up an advanced-search page -- of course anything Google's advanced search page can do can be hand-coded in DuckDuckGo, if I'm feeling up to it right then. Didn't think of trying a simple search there, obviously (in hindsight) should've.
