For me this is my biggest gripe of the update.. As much as I loved the new biome, the fireworks, billboards, paintable wooden supports.. and as much as I appreciate the work that Frontier is doing.. I am so disappointed in the choice of flat rides in the game. The Iron claw is decent, but I have absolutely no use for the observation tower, and was really hoping for something better with Blackout instead.. it's themed to a space shuttle. TO me this makes it highly unusable for about.. let's say 70% people.. unless you are doing a recreation of a specific park that has that specific ride.. or your doing a sci fi section or something this just seems like such a let down. The coaster's were meh as well. Just switching trains on tracks isn't a new coaster. I shouldn't complain because it's free, and we are getting other great things with this but all I want.. is some great flat rides and some new great coasters. The bobsled coasters.. a wild mouse, Premier SKy Rocket II, S+S 4D... there ar eso many great ones to choose from. In flat rides.. a bigger carousel, THunderbobs, Paratrooper.. I could go on and on.. as well as people want a giant flume.. and more dark ride tracks. I would also prefer none of them be themed to something specifically.. IE.. a Space Shuttle. If you are building a wild west park.. how in the hell does a space shuttle fit that. Instead your limited to very few other rides. and of course the Tower rides are WAY too tall.. but at least they are looking into that.
sigh... It's great some of you love the space shuttle I suppose.. but for most of us. It will never be used in most any park we create. Basically.. there was like one coaster .. and really just for the train.. that I'd use and maybe Iron Claw.. nothing else is usable for me at all in the rides department in this update and I am extremely disappointed in this.
But, on the bright side.. the other things are awesome. So again thanks Frontier for the hard work, but please.. think more about the flat rides to make them usable by more than.. 10 people. Almost all of the updates we have had so far have been 50/50. Ohh we get this.. but.. ohh we didn't get this
or a design decision... IE A space shuttle.. caused something to be excited about, turn into a huge disappointment. I know I'm being harsh but I am sooo really really disappointed in this more so than anything else you guys have done. I know i'm just one person but I think I'm not the only one who feels this way. I do LOVE this game. it's mostly all I play but I'm just starting to feel very let down lately by the lack of good flat ride options.
Here's to the next update though and hoping my voice isn't going unheard. Thank you guys.
