Something that i don't know why hasn't been implemented yet, or i somehow haven't noticed it, is the ability to remove coaster and all types of ride, restrictions. Sandbox isn't career mode and supposed to be 'realistic' in the first place, it's supposed to be having fun and doing what you want. But with coaster restrictions, meaning 'realism' i can't create super coasters that are totally unrealistic and crazy. I pretty much can't have fun. I mean really, the career mode isn't hard at all and you can pretty much create any coaster you wan't, in terms of 'realism', and i understand that. But having the same 'realism' in Sandbox where you don't try to earn money and just want to create something fun, doesn't seem right to me. So please devs if you are listening, create an option in Sandbox that removes coaster and ride restrictions. Possibly even allow kids on rides that they 'shouldnt' be allowed on. Just please, remove coaster restrictions in Sandbox.
New option for Sandbox mode.

As for the "kids on rides they shouldn't be on", I suspect this is more to do with the graphics of how people "hold on" during a ride. It's good to see the in PC, peeps DO hold on to rides correctly (that is, bars, handles etc are actually held), there are no clipping issues. I suspect that for smaller peeps, this might well be the case.
Just a thought though...

Don't you think these "Limits / restrictions " (If you mean height limits etc) are added just because the game engine needs to have a limitation of how high you can build something? Just because of it's technical limitations?
Or do you really think these limits are programmed in just to add more 'realism' to the game?
I think certain limits are added just to assure that the game can run stable for everyone no mater how and where you build something... Or even to prevent crashes.
Pretty sure they are doing everything they can to make the game as fun as possible for everyone. But the game also needs to be STABLE and LAGG FREE.

Length and angle restrictions have nothing to do with performance.
These are just adaptations of real life restrictions for the type of coaster which is stupid as current technology can already remove restrictions.
The restrictions were added for a reason. See the discussion in an other thread about this:

A reason that is not confirmed by Frontier is still a rumour.
you are pointing at a discussion between forum members about why restrictions are there, nothing offcial.
As I am pretty sure the restrictions are based on real life coasters.
ps. you are not a mod so stop pointing at other threads

They put restrictions in their game no? So is it still a rumour?
(Think about the max items on a blueprint)
Why can't I link to other threads? [cry]
Yes they did, but why? we don't know.
It's your assumption of the why.
I just don;t believe these restrictions on coasters are there for a performance reason.
Same reason as there is a maximum file size in an email... Performance. If there wasn't it would cease working properly.
(If you think that's a rumor too read this: https://www.quora.com/Why-is-there-a-file-size-limit-to-attachments-in-emails)
No? Then why?

1. What does an e-mail has to do with this game?
2. realism, don't you believe that when performance is the key factor all coasters would have the same restrictions?
Yet it is not possible to build a 100 mtr high kiddie coaster.....
if that would be the case, the first limitation would be track length. but you can build coasters as big as you want, even if your fps is already down to 10, you can build it longer and longer. so performance is obviously not a factor for a limitation, cause PC gives not much attention to its performance at all.
beside and as a main example against your thought that the limits are based on performance reason, why should inversion elements be allowed in other coasters if its just the performance that makes it an issue in non-inverted coasters. here it's rather the reason that a non-inverted coaster has its limitation by its type and the nerdy coaster enthusiast would rather complain about being able to use inversions than just be cool for it that those who like to have that option are able to play around with such an option. i really don't see a problem here, cause if you like to play it strict, you still can do it, even if you have the option.
i'm quite sure i've done that some time ago. even higher. it sucks, but it was possible. sure you couldn't call such a thing a kiddie coaster anymore

I think it's a little silly to say that "it's performance" when we can rotate objects and place thousands of pieces. If it were performance, there would be a cap on the amount of pieces you can play so you don't affect the performance super negetively. But that isn't really the case, is it?
They've said in a stream (I believe) that its because of realism. Even though this game is build around massive pieces that aren't realistic at all. I can see how a limit on making small curves and stuff makes sense to them, because then the cars are going to clip eachother and stuff. But who cares? If people want to do, they're going to figure out a way to do so. I mean there's already a mod on the way. Why not just let people do it instead of having outsiders edit your game?
