New Dark Ride Cars

[Phenix Studios]

We could really use some new dark ride cars for the game other than an old automobile a cat and a sled..

Here's a few ideas that I think are great..

Eftlings new ride cars on Symbolica are just gorgeous... something like these would be really cool.. but not exactly fit a GENERAL theme.. I just really wanted to show these off..

for a more basic approach that could be generally used would be more like these maybe

I think these would be awesome and make for a nice variety of cars to choose from for dark rides.

Of course it would also be awesome if we could have them turn different directions on different pieces of track as well.. so we could make something similar to trackless system. But beggars can't be choosers. We could set up scenes and have teh cars face the scenes as they go past..

We really need ghost train cars... and some generic options. Cause these vintage cars and cheshire cats do not match the themeing options that we have!

and the ability to switch the cars out on existing tracks. Right now you have to build the track from scratch if you want a different vehicle.

Same for roller coasters. Just give us one track type and the ability to change themed cars. Add a few new themed car types and it would make the game so much better.

Yes i was hoping for this for a long time, it makes sense. It is way cleaner to have it categorized by the Track Type, and then chose which Train Type, and then chose if you want a Lift Hill or not. Quite a few Rides can be collapsed into one type. The same with the Dark Rides. The Track is identical, the Cars too. The only difference is the Chassis.
I would prefer that you have to "research" different Trains and launching methods, like LSM or Lifthill.
I would love to see more variety with the Trains in general

Yep the ability to switch cars on tracks is something that would make much more sense in that it requires no difference to the track design and makes things much easier in game. It would mean coding in that guests would see the ride different to how they do now.

Currently I believe they are separate so that guests see them as distinct rides not just a track ride. All it needs to do though as far as I can tell is to program that the car is what defines the track ride type. With that it could add some extra code so that it logs if the player has changed car type after it has been opened so that guests don't see it as a new ride completely but as a ride refurbished for instance.

This can also follow accordingly for coasters then but they may require you to tweak the track as the new coaster car may have new friction calculations but the cost of doing so and refurbishing the coaster and the guest recognising it adds a new element rather than just building a new coaster.

It can affect the way players re-theme areas, how they control rides popularity. If they just want to change the look in sandbox etc etc. There is a lot that comes with it dynamically just by small changes.

Those look fantastic. I really hope we see more dark rides soon!
