I would love to see test seats in front of the queue line since its now become a standard with most theme parks. Also would love to see Corn Dog Stands
 
Great Q&A

I know the coaster at Gt Yarmouth very well, and the wooden beam is still there.

I can go back to the 1950s (yes I am now almost 72 and still enjoying games). I remember the famous BOBS Coaster at Belle Vue, Manchester. The coaster was built in 1927 and lasted to the mid seventies, when it was demolished. It wasn't the largest of coasters, but boy, was it fast. It ran in a figue 8 form, with the station being on the curve, It left the station on a diagonal lift hill and the first drop and rise was on a banked curve. It then dropped down again to cross the lift hill before rising and dropping again on a banked curve. There were about three levels criss crossing each other before it came back on a banked curve into the station. It was a rickety old ride, but is one of the best coasters I have ever ridden on and Iv'e been on lots of woodies in my time.
I tried to build this coaster in RCT3, but because of its configuration, it was impossible, not having the ability to use the diagonal straight piece, which has no chain lft facility. It was named BOBS, because when it was first built it cost a BOB to ride it (one shilling in the old money, that's 5 pence today) They don't build em like that anymore!

Just hope that I will be able to build this coaster in Planet Coaster, I live in hope! [yesnod]

Great post guys! Nice to know that the Dev Team are listening to the community!

Hello, I hope Coaster Planet will quickly available for Mac os x Version! :)
Is it official that it will be 100% released for mac? My girlfriend wants to know that before she buys the game. I said she can play it with bootcamp but I don't know what the requirements for this game are. So maybe it wouldn't be that nice to play it with a bad FPS.
 
What tends to be your favourite type of ride at a theme park and why?

Rollercoasters. I can't stand spinning rides. Or Drop Towers which are just insane.


That is also 100% ME!!!
I enter a Park and have to ride EVERY Coster out there, EVERY, but things that spin around to much and drop Towers = No WAY!!!
I would puke everything out!

Totally agree with you on that! Rides like that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_Express which I know from german funfairs are nothing for me, while I love riding every coaster in Europapark and Holiday-Park and would love to visit Six Flags or other BIG parcs just to try out the craziest rollercoasters [big grin]

Oh no, you got me wrong ;)
The MusicExpress is NOT a Problem, it's just doing a "circle" without spinning in that way I meant!
In "Phantasialand", Germany is a ride called "Talocan" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIAoYdDnZVc ), a Top-Spin from HUSS Maschinenfabrik!
That kind of rides I meant! (My wife and I took a ride... uhhhh NOT good)
BTW: the "Black Mamba" (also in Phantasialand) is the best Coaster for me EVER, because the theming (for everything) in that Park is so awesome and incredible that I don't have words for it! Inverted Coaster "Black Mamba" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IjPFhniU7I
