Agree, but it could well be that the have known of the problem for a while, working in the same kind of industry i know you don't cancel a releasedate lightly, you usually set a time where you make a go/no go decision on the day scheduled (or as close to it as possible to allow for any rollbacks etc (in this case none) ) and then you work on solving the issue to that time, and if you have solved it (or very close) you decide to go and if not you dont,
The upsides are that they did not release something that causes trouble, and if it is due to some deep-down game change to allow for the chairlift we will probably see other rides in the future that can benefit from it i think, i mean if you spend a lot of time for just one function then when you have the function it can probably easily be used in other applications,
I do however hope that it is released tomorrow as i otherwise suspect it will take till after newyear, you normaly dont want to make a major release on a friday and certainly not the one before christmas, but this is of course my speculation, frontier may very well decide they think a release is worth the risk due to the holidays
Why not? Many games,atleast nintendo games were released on fridays,don't know why this friday is so different[wink]
Good to have someone that can put something on paper that completely makes sense to me and I couldn't agree more. [up]
What if they found a way to split guests group temporarily for this ride. But they didn't regroup after.... Sounds like something that could have happened. This just popped up in my mind. Of course that would depend on how the chairlift would function, but we don't know that. Just a quick thought in my mind. Might be nothing.
We don't know the nature of the problem, so it's all just speculation, however I think if the problem is in the chairlift system and that system is also part of the free update, I think it wouldn't cause problems as players wouldn't get a chance to use that system. It would be 'disabled'.
In my opinion, it wouldn't hurt if they told us what the problem is. I think a bit of an insight into the development wouldn't hurt at all, actually it would have exact opposite and probably, people would understand better how things are not that easy.
I understand completely that the bug stopping the DLC / Free update is not something yous want, but if it means you could release them without the chairlift for now, then I think the large majority of the fan base, which buying a rides pack, would be a loyal fan of Planet Coaster. If its possible, and you think it will be a while (especially with Christmas around the corner) id suggest releasing the DLC without the chairlift and add it as a minor update once its ready in a fully working state
Yeah, IF they made a significant change to how stations work, it would be wonderful for the future
.As to when they release this, I dunno. I doubt it will be tomorrow or they'd have said so by now. So I figure sometime in January at the earliest. You're just not going to get much constructive done making everybody work over the horrordaze, plus even if they have a suitable release candidate already, they still have to test it extensively so this last-minute delay doesn't happen again.
I tend to agree with Bullethead ^^^, but I also still wonder if my previous comment, which I probably didn’t make clear enough, might not have some validity. I do think the delay’s immediate cause is coding, based pretty much on the reasons Bullethead stated. My thinking went to and still goes to the deeper cause. Given Frontier’s history I wonder if their situation, i.e. legal standing, makes it necessary when doing coding to program the game in an alternative route than some might otherwise take. Thus, while coding is the immediate cause for delay, I wonder if it’s legal matters, such as copyrights and their ilk, that makes it necessary to take a route that may increase the likelihood of encountering delays. One prime example of this that’s gotten a fair amount of attention in the past is weather. I’ve read several comments in the past that have said “add weather” and if “RCT can have weather why can’t Planet Coaster, just do the same thing.” I wonder if they legally can do the same thing or does Frontier need to take alternate paths to build the game. But goodness knows I for one believe it’s a great game, backed by a great team and I’m certainly happy to give them the time they need to figure things out.
Having the Right to express my Opinion: I feel that the DLC should have been released minus the Chairlift. If all the other rides were ready to go, it would have been nice to get the DLC and the Bug Fixes released yesterday and have the issue with the Chairlift be worked on after the Holiday Break.
This has caused so much back and forth madness with the Community that I believe it has/could possibly affect how people look at Frontier as a Company in future purchases. Frontier has let down a lot of Community Members and have crushed a lot of people during the Holidays.
Getting the Community all hyped up via a LIVE stream by showing off the new game DLC, to posting a new ride each day on Social Media, just to be knocked in the head by this road block really HURTS!
To end this rant I believe that in order to allow the Team at Frontier to have a Stress Free last few weeks of the year, please release the DLC minus the Chairlifts for now. I would also like to see the Bug Fixes released as well.
I just want everyone at Frontier to have a Happy Holidays and enjoy the end of the year and not have to stress or work overtime over a Chairlift bug, we understand the Community wants Chairlifts, but we can wait, please allow us to enjoy the Beauty of the other rides during the Holidays Frontier.

It would waste far more of your time if they released a broken DLC, dontcha think? I personally prefer that they have the respect for their players to NOT release something that's broken, unlike a lot of companies these days.
Take your time. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait. ALSO--thanks for the updates (very much appreciated). [yesnod]
True, especially for people like me, who aren't that interested in the chairlift it would be nice[wink]
Have to get that tracker in my ratatouille ride and also want to experiment with the mack coaster[praise]
While we wait, ill start on my planned recreation of wild adventures, sans proper animals, maybe if i can find some on the thememakers toolkit, though. (Wild adventures has a s&s space shot, a slc, and a flying scooter, which are in this, but they have more rides of course. some people have said cheetah (their cci woodie) is rough, but it is'nt that bad really. there slc and boomerang are pretty smooth for standard vekomas with the old otsr(over the shoulder restraints)!
I have a cute video of me reviewing cheetah from when i was little, and i liked but didnt want to ride again, kid logic amirite? [wacky][hehe][hehe]

Give frontier a break
Hi all
It is indeed a stressful time of year with all the planning and festive cheer to forget about family fights and stuffing your face with food your dog would be envious of, The end of the year is approaching fast please think of what has come to the players thus far an awesome game with so much potential for creative magic its is truly astounding from a humble beginning R.C,T was good but this absolutely crushes all before it,
Looking at the original release video has evolved into a giant the custom content alone is amazing players adding lots of excellent workshop blueprints so this pack has a bug or two to kill good on them for being honest about it and not just being all about the dollars like some other games released around the same time as this oh like R,C,T world for example it was rushed out and was a terrible product many fans did not think highly of and subsequently destroyed the franchise.
Give it a chance to be something amazingly good go outside play with your kids and your dog enjoy the rest of your freedom for once this lands you will be locked in front of your computers scheming on how to use the new content to make your peeps loose their Christmas lunch all over the peeps below that spent all their hard earned cash on expensive gifts for family that will probably re gift it next year anyhow .
good luck with everything and if you try anything can be done it just takes time
merry holidays all.

The chairlift is part of the pack (and is essential for them to include it as such to maximise sales), a number complained when DLCs in the past were supposedly 'not finished' so to then actually release a product that literally isn't finished just isn't going to work. Hypothetically if they were to do this I can't imagine just 'taking the ride out' is as simple as it sounds. Your suggestion unfortunately isn't feasible for several reasons. I'm sure they're planning to get it out this week and wouldn't be surprised if they're working overtime to get it out ASAP.
Well said

Someone Please Make the Moose
Oh I do hope someone can make the Vacation Moose with the Thememaker’s Toolkit

Yet another park that I forgot has this ride!
(Also note how at the loading station the vehicles do actually pause and don't move continuously.)
Also interesting that the ride did have one gondola (von roll style) cabin.
It's very likely that the bug caused by the chairlift is something that caused a serious rift in all of the code. Something that cannot just be separated out by itself.
