Adventure Pack

JoshSA92 · Dec 8, 2017

What are your thought's on the Adventure pack?

New boat rides, wild animals including Croc's and Hippo's, new nature, fencing..... so much more. Seem's like the best DLC yet, however two things.

1. Looking at what seems to be a Hippo in the photo provided, it seems to be purple. (Can't confirm) . What are your opinions?

2. It seems they're adding a "photo-mode", however wasn't clearly stated this is official. What are your thoughts on this feature?

Purple hippo sounds cute. Though it may be recolorable.

Hope "vista points" means we will be getting coaster photo sections that take the guests pictures while riding.

JoshSA92 · Dec 8, 2017

I think vista points means that guests will start reacting to certain things, like walking under a roller coaster for an example, but not 100% sure.

I'm concerned about further fragmentation of the workshop.

Though obviously frontier might no consider this a bad thing, as it only adds more value to owning all the DLC.

It looks good though, excited to see the pieces and I'll decide then if it's value for money. I expect that I'll buy it, as it looks to offer a similar amount to the spooky pack.

Great additions, definitely going to buy this! I have only one concern, that’s the timing. So close to Christmas, if they break this game like they did with the 1.4 update, no one will play this game this Christmas, or the folks at frontier will be very busy over the holidays.

This has been talked about all year long, and I dont think the devs see it as a concern. I hope they decide to bundle the 3 licensed kits together at some point, or even better add some animatronics to them, the "licensed" content is lame without characters

It looks fine, but not amazing. I'm disappointed that the devs added some boat rides and waterfalls, I was hoping those would be part of a bigger "water park" expansion. I'm not into all these microDLC kits, and I will continue to wait for something more substantial (like RCT3 had) before wasting my money on DLC.

This^ should be part of the base game, not a DLC (oops nevermind) YAY PHOTOS!!! [cool]

If we combined the price of all 5 DLCs it comes to a total of $34 which is getting close to the price of the full game, but for much less content, not sure I like that especially since there is so many more that the devs can release. I'll just wait for UGC/CSO support. Static objects such as wall pieces don't seem like they are worth the cost, I'd rather pay for more animated stuff like carnival games

It's your lucky day, friend. From the announcement: "In addition to the paid content, we are releasing a small free update to all players which includes some quality of life improvements for core players such as UI improvements and vista points, where your guests can gather for the loveliest photo opportunities!
"

breezerHOG1 · Dec 8, 2017

o nice [up] I wonder how much they put into that feature, like in RCT3 we could actually see some of the photos guests took (if we clicked follow)

Never mind too late

Squirrelmonkey93 · Dec 8, 2017

Well, so far I like the look of the pack itself.

The vista points are part of a small free update which also includes some QOL improvements, or as stated in the post by Bo:

So no worries about the vista points being in the DLC and not part of the base game [wink]

EDIT: been beaten about the vista points xD

I would assume there would be jungle themed benches, fences and picnic tables and canopies. This pack sounds great! Also at a great cost. Thanks Frontier

BigDaddy1 · Dec 8, 2017

I havent had a chance to play the game in awhile, so busy with work, life, and other games, but I am coming back here at some point and have been purchasing all the DLC and will continue to do so, so its all here and ready for me when I do get the urge and time. Frontier has done such a nice job with this game I wanted to be sure to support them.

Neezy · Dec 8, 2017

LOL @ conversation about vista points. For a surprise Christmas bonus, I "hope" we also get on ride photo cameras. Gives guests yet another item to purchase at information booths [big grin]

Nevertheless, Frontier's dedication is greatly appreciated!

JoshSA92 · Dec 9, 2017

Why lol at the Vista Points convo? Vista points generally means reactions in certain areas, however it's been confirmed that there will be an object that can be placed anywhere for guests to take photos in those locations.

On ride photo camera's is a little unrealistic for me as you don't do that in real life. I think a straight out photo mode would be awesome, which can still allow that type of thing to happen.

I've had my picture taken on many rides in real life, RCT had that feature too

I would say that pretty much most newer roller coasters and some flat rides comes with ride photos. Some you can even buy a video of the ride with you in it (Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit at Universal Studios Orlando as an example). It is an easy way for the parks to earn extra money and this has been a staple in the RCT series since the original game. I do miss this feature in Planet Coaster.

Exactly. Plenty of coasters around the U.S. have on-ride photo sections. Love seeing the hilarious reactions/gestures of people.

Vista *points*, where your guests *can gather* for the loveliest photo opportunities!

Doesn't at all sound like onride photo's to me...
If they where adding those, the description wouldn't have been this.

I expect we're getting something like an item you can place where guests take photos.

Probably something like these:
