Multiple trains in Alpha 3

+ indeed im all for realism. (But as long as im not forced to unrealistic stuff im fine if it's in the game for people who do want to do weird stuff [wink] )

And im pretty sure the other functions will come for sure. Boomerangs and similar coasters are way to common to be overlooked.

realism would not include floating islands and 1000+ mile high coasters, realism takes away from the fun factor, im not saying i require death/killing for fun, in fact i think guests should refuse to ride an unfinished coaster, but i also think we have "crash test dummies" for a reason [wink] what happens when a coasters breaks fail, is it realistic to have uninjured guests or undamaged trains? that sounds immature imo... and the bargain bin comment? really? i know you enjoy the videos on youtube of death parks [haha]

Not realistic you say? [squeeeeee]

Vampiro, have you ever ridden any classic haunted house rides where you are in a car on a track traveling through a dark area to feel spider webs going across your shoulders and things suddenly popping out at you. That is a far cry from the modern "dark ride" of today. Those classic types are usually a scare fest. I have ridden many of them in my day.

Yes i have, but only on "fun fairs" (is that the correct word?) And over here those are not of the best quality most of the time.
But even tough i prefer omnimovers i agree we should also have separate cars. And im pretty sure those will come, we have the chessire cats confirmed already so i guess there will be more variations [happy]

REALLY!?! thats awesome [up]

Yes, i the Q&A ages ago with Sam Denney :

Q : I will start with the most important question for me. What kind of omnimovers have you planned ?
A : Aha! I see what you're doing there... trying to get me to confirm the presence of omnimovers! But I shall tell you this much.. We have a couple of types planned, I cannot confirm which ones just yet...More surprises to come

For the whole Q&A :

cool thanks [happy]

If you have some spare time, i can recommend to read all of those interviews. There were quite a few things said that i had long forgotten about, but were confirmed in those interviews. (For example, those omnimovers)
 
I like this quote:
"3. Will the rides break down (hehe)? If so can you give some insight into what types of breakdowns there are?"You'll have to wait and see ;) But I can tell you, if they did break down it will look pretty awesome!

Looks like this thread is shifting topics...

Here is what I have to say about multiple Trains:

I really, really want multiple trains. Right now my options are to have a short coaster, but ok capacity, or a long coaster with a low capacity. So multiple trains fixes that. There is really no downside to multiple trains that I can think of, except one.

I HATE when trains stop on the lift hill. I absolutely HATE it. That being said, the lift hill SHOULD be considered a block because thats how it is IRL. But in 3 my OCD hated the trains stopping on the lift, so the next block brake had to be really close to the lift hill. I would like a solution to that. One thing I can think of is to allow us to select a track segment after the lift, and then the next train can leave the station only after the train in front gets to that segment. So this is like the "Extend Block Length" in NL2. Another option is to give us the option to have the chain be REALLY slow, then when the block is free it can speed up. I don't care what the solution is, I just want one.

Wow, did not think of either one of those. I was just thinking, ahh it's fine. Let them die.
 
People (pretty much) never (unless they catch someone with a camera or something or there is an emergency) get stuck on a lift hill IRL. The coaster is made so that when they dispatch it it will reach the top way after the next block is clear (especially true for Six Flags, their operations normally suck so the block is clear before they even dispatch lol) so I hope we can have a way to avoid it in Planet Coaster.
 
I do hope the Block Brakes will be the only one that will count as a slot for trains. Either that or we can select every place that will give you a train to use. And by the final release they should have a system where you can select a track piece that will allow the train before it to start going.

Im not catching on.. What exactly do you mean?
 
I don't really enjoy them, I only pointed a couple out to make a point that it really does not belong in the game. Break downs are fine, but to allow deliberate death ride design, nope. Roller coaster accidents are usually few and far between. Sure there is a break down every so often, but total derailments very seldom happen.

Read this article: Should You Feel Safe on a Roller Coaster? https://www.yahoo.com/style/roller-coaster-safety-coney-island-115088399182.html


Are you for real.... Go back to one million moms.

If you look at the rct franchise fans and some of the big youtuber comments, it was always annoying people d you could not get stuff exploding. And i do agree that the game being so live like, the rating would go up if they allow us to kill/explode/dfown guest like in rct2. That said rct3 "accident" was pefect and a good politicaly correctcompromise. It's also something that did not push the rating up as they merly got tossed. Even the sims allows you to kill them. In fact, a death theme park was one of the favourite things young players like to do.

Now, i personally find it immature and never did it in rct3. That doesn't mean i don't want it in game. It's something you have to make happen and many people enjoy it so let them have they're fun.

Seriously that SaveTheChildrens™ mentality is too much.

On topic: i agree with airboss. The train should just wait in the station until the coast is clear. Waiting at a lift hill make no sense. That said, waiting at block or launch section does and should be in the game.

Very well spoken, some people get hundreds even thousands of views just from one video. It may be 8 years old, but.. In my childhood I used to raise the terrain, build higher, raise the terrain, build higher, and keep on doing that. I even remember when I used to get the Stormrunner and use this cheat or whatever that lets you go past the max height and you could go to space. (No supports and camera couldn't go up) I basically lived off of killing, heights, and names.

Yes I am for real, and am entitled to my opinion just like anyone else on this forum and trying to belittle me with that "{Go back to one million moms. " crack isn't going to change it or influence it in any way. That crack just shows the immature mentality that you really have to resort to something like that to get your opinion across. Grow up!
 
Hey guys,

Lets all play nice in here, remember it's a family friendly forum.

I am also really looking forward to building coasters with multiple trains, great satisfaction when it's all automated. I was not a fan of trains waiting on the lift hill either... [happy]

The game is called Planet Coaster and people are having an discussion whether they should be able to kill people in their park or not. I'd say there is really something wrong in our society.
They want to make a realistic theme park game, how many people actually die in a theme park? Besides a 60y old getting a heart attack cause of the adrenaline, I don't see any other reasons why people die in theme parks ..

Have you ever been a part of the RCT community in the old days? If you search up "RCT 3 Death Park" you will find videos with 700K views. From eight years ago. It was really fun with the 3D and totally unreal physics when it was released.

Edit: This is now on topic because I will add some sort of multiple train thing because stuk senpai wants it to be. I love this idea, multiple trains is coming.
