Shooting Dark Ride and Coaster
  • Directional arrow added to show which way the coaster car is facing on tracked rides where the direction of the car can be adjusted

I'm not sure: is this something that was already possible or is this a new functionality, also for existing rides? I can only remember the boomerang coasters where the direction could change, not any other coasters or tracked rides.

It's brand new and showing you were your car faces on a track piece.
 
Looking forward to playing it, when I finish work in a few hours. Been itching to play a brand new scenario, and that's my preferred play style.
 
The DLC looks amazing! I wonder why Frontier decided to have the new free ride in a separate free DLC? Usually it’s included with the free update.

Yeah I know the functionality is new, but I was wondering whether this meant something new was added in regards to direction of the cars. I.e. a car could go back on its track.

But reading it again, I expect it only applies to the Huntsman-like rides in which you can tilt cars and make them move sideways. Good addition nonetheless.
 
I have some mixed feelings like the scaffolding isn't flexi, and the doorways aren't big enough to put a path through again...

BUT...

(and it's a big but)

I LOVE that I have so many new ghost friends, and the new gargoyle that I seriously needed for my Ghoster Cathedral I built this year, and I now have a nice big Zuul to snuggle with! SO MANY NEW FRIENDS!!!

(oh yeah the pink lightning is exactly what I needed for a track ride I am working on too, just wish it was flexi as well)

Lol. You are joking right? Do you just spam every post with a like to receive the highest like rating :p:LOL:.

I was just wondering why a second DLC for the free ride. Didn’t think I would’ve gotten a mean reply. And no I don’t spam posts.

Sorry if the emoticons weren't clear about the fact it's not meant to be mean. :rolleyes:

But you already got the answer and you've must have read it before liking the message didn't you? (y)
 
Disappearing favorites still not fixed also have a new problem since this patch, when you ride a ride there is a lot of screen flickering / tearing or however you wanna call it. Never had this problem before the patch now its constant for every ride.
