Live Shows would be an awesome theme for a DLC themed to Showstoppers/Showtime. We already have the ability to create scenes for attractions, so having the ability to create concert venues, ampitheaters, and indoor theaters. They could release animatronic performance sets, as well as individual animatronic performers. That way when we created parks we could have musical acts like a PlanCo Town Band, a Barbershop Quartet, maybe even street sweepers that performed. I remember RCT3 Kara Oki's concert stage, so it would be cool to have a Planet Coaster version of that character that performed at our shows with custom stage props, lighting, lazer show, pyro stage effects, etc.. As for rides go- a Huss Breakdance for a flat ride, and a new dark ride attraction- Immersive Motion Theater with 3 in-game shows like Thunder Road (similar to Dukes of Hazard), Soar (bird's point-of-view), and Atlantis (underwater adventure). A new entertainer to walk the park could include a Magician that randomly pulls a rabbit out of his tophat and magically teleports to different areas of the park.
As for animals, I would prefer if they released more animal animatronics in a Safari-themed DLC. We could then create unique tracked rides like a Kilimanjaro Safari re-creation with a new tracked ride being an open-air wildlife off-road bus. Animatronic animals could include elephants, zebras, lions, antelopes, giraffes, hyenas, cheetahs, ostriches, rhinoceroses and monkeys. And to create realistic animal exhibits perhaps building structures that peeps can interact with such as glass enclosures, animal plaques, and observation decks. Some of the animatronics could be used for close encounters on rides like a lion leaping off a rock at spectators passing by, or creating a herd of elephants heading right at the ride-vehicle. Other themed sets could include Afrian-inspired props and building set.
Water Park should be its own expansion pack, not a DLC, as there's so much they could incorporate into a pack themed to aquatics, marine life, and water parks. It would also be the perfect pack to include some more amusement park water rides like Super Flume and Shoot the Chutes. Frontier could also expand upon show events like animatronic Orca and Dolphin show. New tropical foliage with Mediterranian-inspired build sets. New staff members- life guards. And some more animatronics, especially marine life animatronics so we can create aquariums, immersive queues for our attractions, as well as underwater themed dark rides.
I like your idea on recreation attractions like miniature golf and paddleboats. I also want some attractions like we have where I live- Bungee Jumps, Sky Coaster- single swing and dual swing, Zipline (could be used as transportation as well). This way we could also create Mini-Parks that have go-karts, bungee jumps, Sky Coaster, and arcades. Another thing that would be awesome to have in-game would be play fortresses/play areas for child peeps, and Rope Courses- but honestly it has a lot to do with animations and programming, but it would be interesting to have.
