WATER PARK FOR NEXT DLC !

Water slides would be fun, but I'd like to see a bunch of other things done first...

  • "Shows" - A flat ride where guests pay to enter, take their seats and watch your triggered sequencer shows. What's the point of making a stunt show if guests ignore it?
  • Interactive sideshow alley games, playable by us and guests. Laughing clown game, shooting gallery etc. I hoped for this in Vintage pack.
  • Ability to pause animatronics at their halfway point for X seconds so we can keep doors open for longer and prevent animation resets too early. This would allow for more creative control in sequences.
  • A new "all in one" coaster that does it all... pause track pieces, option to rotate car any direction during ride, LSM, vertical tower sections and drops... just a super supreme "with the lot" coaster that works for both fast rides and slower dark rides or combinations of both. Car should be a 2 seater, with option to have just a single car on track.

Then... after those things, water slides. [big grin]

The last point +1000000[up][big grin][haha][haha][haha][haha]
 
- Water Rides - Yes - Water Park - No -

The fact is water in the game is just a texture, nothing else, so pools would just be for looks, don't think the guests would even swim, would require all new animations just for swimming if they added pools, you can't even drown the guests currently, think of it like RCT 1 were water is just for looks, still had water rides, just no pools...

That's exactly my opinion[wink][up]
 
I have a pool but no one will use it. I think they must be scared off by the vast amount of pee in the pool... [tongue]

I would absolutely love an expansion pack built around the theme of a water park. It would be vastly more robust than any of the current DLC, and justifiably more expensive because it would need to offset the cost of development.

I understand that people would rather see resources dedicated to other themes. Honestly, I'd rather see bigger more fleshed out expansions with scenery, rides, and features galore than small DLC's

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the DLCs we've gotten. I have bought every single one and use parts from them. But they do honestly feel small and featureless.

Yes there might be technical limitations but that's why they have a team of developers, to overcome those limitations and do the things thought not possible by the consumer. Obviously, that takes time and money. I'm patient, and I'd pay well for more robust expansions with new game mechanics.
 
Do you think that they rushed the development of the game itself and didn’t really plan for the future and “forgot” to code the game to make water parks possible and other things like mini golf, etc. and now in their minds it’s too late and they are not going to fix their mistakes and go back and fix the core game to allow people to swim and slide down slides? But I think with Soaked, they added new code to RCT3 to make the new behaviors and animations possible of people swimming, sliding down slides, etc. I would really like working pools for hotels. Maybe hot tubs, too. In RCT3 you could fake hotels like that and have working elevators, and for hotel rooms have benches where people would rest.

While RCT3 had it´s problems, PC has more of them or lets say, they are too complicated to fix. That´s why it´s probably not going to happen.

Hi everyone!

Thanks for keeping the discussion in this thread positive and constructive.

We are aware that some of the community have been keen on getting a waterpark DLC or expansion pack. Currently we have no plans to develop this. We don’t feel that we can deliver this in a way that suits Planet Coaster, meets the quality level you deserve, and offer it at a reasonable price point.

We understand that this might cause a little disappointment with some of you, but please know that we have looked at all of our options and believe that this is what’s best for the game overall. Rest assured, the Planet Coaster dev team are still hard at work on the game. Watch this space for future announcements [wink]!

Thank you for understanding and your continued support!

Thank you for the information, Bo!

I myself wasn't specifically waiting for a water park pack, but I think it's great to get a clear answer to the questions that were asked here. [up]
 
Thanks Bo for the information. It's also good to hear that Planet Coaster is still being worked on. The future looks bright for Planet Coaster.[happy]

Thanks a lot Bo!!

Waterparks have never been on my personal wishlist (There is SO much more to do in the theme park aspect itself)
Regardless of my personal wishes it's good to know what the future might hold for PlanCo or in this case, what it won't hold.

Good to see confirmation that there is still more to come!! Thats all i need to know to make me hyped :D
 
Thnx Bo! Great to hear that no energy is put on a Waterparcs DLC!!! [up]
I wasn’t waiting for that kind of DLC.

Me too ;). But that doesn't mean we aren't gonna get some water rides(boat ride, good old splash battle) or classic dark rides(doombuggy, hanging darkride(with spinning,like in droomvlucht) or even the new mack powered suspended coaster right? Xd The game is being worked on![haha][haha][haha]

I'm surprised that pricing is an issue, I mean what is considered a "reasonable" price? IMO the current DLC costs more than the base game which to some people is just fine, but not for all of us since the current DLC is mostly cosmetic.

Anyway... I just hope that the current water features can be updated (whether its a DLC or a free update, or an expansion is irrelevant) if the general belief is that PlanCo will not see any updates to water features, rivers, pools, and especially boats, etc, I already dont care for the current DLC and the fact that water parks are not a focus will make me not want to spend more money on PlanCo cuz where exactly is my money going if not to improve the game? I'll just patiently wait another 10+ years for a better sequel like I did with RCT3, I can be patient [wink]

In other words; "We are making a water park game that we can charge 60$ for..So we are not going to add DLC for it, in this game." [wacky]

Like they did with the JP game. No Dino's for this game...haha
Planet Safari was trademarked by Frontier over 2 years ago... if they turn it into another stand-alone game like JWE it wont be worth playing, obviously games like this can offer so much more if they are compatible like how Soaked and Wild were for RCT3, so sad Planco cant achieve the samething RCT3 did 15 years ago :(

I guess we’re going to have to fake water parks in PC for a while. The track from the new flying turns coaster can be used to fake waterslides. And the bobsled pieces on the workshop. I guess they don’t want to upgrade the water that they rushed through during development. So no water slides or swimming pools where the people have to interact with the water for now. If you compare PC and RCT3 with Soaked and Wild, PC is still missing things. But, PC was not meant to be a clone of RCT3.
 
So... explain!
Why do you think that?
Im confused about what your asking... have you read any of my posts from this thread?? are you being rhetorical or ironic? or are you actually unaware of all the threads about water? rivers? waterfalls? boats? pools? rain? underwater effects like in RCT3? the list goes on and on.... I could post about 20 links for you just on water alone... here ya go ---> https://forums.planetcoaster.com/sh...discuss-the-game-instead-of-each-other-please!
