Wow you come from Austria. Coole Sache,grüss dich[wink]Ich auch!
Gocarts are able to load with groups as it is usually a number of cars there and it all starts at same time. So guests load it as it would load a train or a flatride.
This is reason why we do not see things like stepplechase coaster (single rider on horse) bike coasters etc. Unless they figure out a sneak way to load and release a group of maybe 4-6 "cars" at same time, which may look a bit odd.
Same thing with that tube thingy that riders hang from and slide down from old RCT1-2 (forgot name) (no not dinghy slide, but more of a coaster thingy where the guest hang down on a lift-like chair) single riders. Helter skelters - same issue.
I guess they did this because they want us to be able to load parks with lots of guests without it getting too much for the computer. So treating a group as a single entity is easy way to do that.
To split up guests and let people wait outside would tax computer that way.
I think it is a pity, but it is a decision they have gone on. I just hope that they might add a code to break down groups later on when computers got better.
But then the game would be "old". Like RCT3 is now.
And talking about dinghy slides.. Maybe they could make a large mat/boat-size ones that would allow entire group to go down slide? Or parallel tubes with many starting points. So a group can enter 4-6 tubes at once. Hmm hmm.

What I said a couple of post before yours [wink]. The release of 2 persons-cars in groups, like your suggestion, is already happening with the wooden wild-mouse and the hoax... looks indeed odd.
This exactly! [up]
True, true!
The cars on the wild mouse and hoax operate in groups, with three or four cars in each.
That may be a true statement but kind of an irrelevant argument here. There has also been a lot of requests here for old style rides and Frontier has tried to delver on those requests. I don't think anyone can say that the very British company Frontier is biased towards American rides. Plus, a lot of those old-fashioned rides has been very popular in parks in the past. Chair lifts, not so much.
The single rail coaster is different in my opinion. That is a new concept of a coaster that it growing in popularity. It only exists in a few parks now because it is so new. More will come. Chari lifts has been around as a thing for a long time and not really associated with them parks. I think more people think of them for ski resorts. Yes, some parks do have them but those parks are in minority compared ot parks without them.
Don’t forget marketleader Disney is opening a very big and modern sky-ride next year. Europapark (after Disney, biggest in Europe) already announced a cable car in development. Furthermore, the cable car is popping up right now in a lot of cities, as a popular mode of transportation. So the cable car is even growing in popularity. Your statement about the single-rail-coaster is irrelevant then aswell.
You don’t see that futuristic monorail outside Disney so often aswell.
I guess the requests for chairlifts are as big as for the other rides you stated. So I think it’s relevant, and everybody’s own opinion if they should be in the game.
It was on top my list about year ago! It's a free world anyways!

Regardless of whatever the last ride is, this pack is my favourite to date! Keep up the great work frontier!

Yes, Disney is opening a char lift, OUTSIDE of the park. Not inside. I don't really care either way for the char lift. If it comes, fine. If not, that will be OK too. To me, it seems like there are a lot of other items they could have put their time into instead of a chair lift. Such as boat/water rides, switch tracks for roller coasters, split loading/unloading platforms, shuttle mode for transportation rides etc. But now they took that time and made a chair lift. That's fine, we all have different priorities.
I don't care about the single rail coaster as anything special, just used it as an example of something that do exists, and is growing INSIDE theme parks. That char lifts are growing in cities and everywhere but in theme parks are not relevant s I see it. With that logic we should cry for Frontier to add subways and airports as those are growing from a world perspective as well. These kinds of arguments can take ridiculous proportions really fast as you can always find some statistic to support your statement.
On that same subject, monorails do exist plentiful around the world. Ever been to various cities in Asia? A lot of airports have them too as terminal to terminal transportation. In the US alone there are 19 monorail systems. World-wide you have 70+ systems and more under construction/planned. A lot of those are operational in theme parks. I personally do not like them and don't use them, but they do exist. I would use them more with a shuttle mode, but now that development time partially went to do other rides, including the maybe soon the be announced chair lift.
Does INSIDE / OUTSIDE matter? You think we don’t want to build resorts?
I don’t see subways and airports in resorts. So this is irrelevant. Ever count the cable installations in mountains? They win! My example of cable cars in cities was just to say that the system is in revival.
I do agree that the team isn’t ready yet! That’s nice, because we can hopefully expect more DLC in the future!
Congratulations, that what exactly my point. All this is irrelevant.
Besides the chairlifts... they do exist in and around themeparks. [big grin]
True i agree with him,that are all things i would have liked to see in the game too. But it probably is the chairlift,so congratz to everyone who wanted it and hope that this was not the last dlc pack.[wink]
