Breaking down.. In the dark

[007]

We love dark rides here, however a great majority of us have been unlucky to experience a breakdown or worse. I want planet coaster to make this realism come to life in the game, when it stops the emergency lights that we have previously placed turn on. The speakers send out a reassuring message to the riders. The mechanic gets the job done and we are back in buisness. I like this because i would rather my guests be stuck on a ride and some form of lights appear rather than in darkness. This is purely for realism. To explain the point in a simpler form, when we make a dark ride and there is a particular room which is pitch black without any special lighting or effects, we can build "emergency lights" or toggle different lights to turn on when the ride breaksdown, kind of like a ride event in RCT3.

Again its a silly and very time consuming idea, but i love realim and planet coaster is very real in its early stages... Why not take it one step further again frontier?

YES this is a GREAT idea! I've been wanting things like this since RCT2!

A very nice idea! Would be great if you can place emergency lights and link them to an attraction. Support 100%!

Perhaps even have them attached to the ride track/ride cars as a default when building "Dark Ride tracks"? (Or perhaps when designing "Dark rides" we can get a view of different nodes that we can connect to different parts of the track allowing us to conect lights doors anamatronics and so on to different parts of the track and then connect all of the "Emergency lights" to a central control booth... Something like what I've seen done with the construction system of "Scrap mechanic" when watching videos of people playing that and getting into their system for hooking up controls...
