New to Planet Coaster... I have ?s

I have looked over this game and gone through many youtube videos and reviews. First off I will say this game is beautiful. Absolutely what I was hoping from the "other guy". But I have brand loyal to them. Still this game is really impressing me every time I look it over. So before I buy the game and the alpha I have some questions...

1. Can I create personal (UGI) content and import into the game like the other guys game?
2. I get very detailed in my scenery: Can I color coaster trains, cars? Tracks, supports? Buildings?
3. I love piece by piece building. Is this being viewed by users as easy to snap together?
4. Paths. Yes paths. How are they overall?
5. Will there be transport rides such as trains, monorails and sky cable rides?
6. Water rides?
7. Dark rides?
8. I admit to LOVING the zoo animals in RCT3. I had a beautiful zoo and park combo. Will there ever be this update for PC?
9. Underground, tunnels and being able to place rides and paths.
10. Overall content in the game for scenery, rides and flowers/trees? I love being able to color flowers...

If all this is in the game then Im buying it right now. Wow this game blows the competition away by miles. Congrats on a very polished and beautiful game.

1. Not yet, but it's a confirmed feature after the release. (don't forget this is just Alpha phase 1)
2. Not yet, but we able to soon. (don't forget this is just Alpha phase 1)
3. Yes, very easy and quick to learn.
4. They work, but they aren't perfect. It's expected they are upgraded in Alpha phase 2, the stream tomorrow will cover this subject.
5. Yes, Train ride has been confirmed but there is more to come.
6. Yes, they have been confirmed but we don't know yet which ones or how many.
7. Confirmed feature after release.
8. Nothing's for sure, but there is nothing (yet) that point into that direction.
9. Yes yes and yes.
10. It's there.

Thats a lot of questions ;) But most importantly...realize this game isn't out yet. We are only in Alpha phase 1, end of this month phase 2 will go live. Then a few weeks/month's later we will get phase 3. And at the end of the year the full game will be released. So ther will be at least 3 big updates before you can truly tell the content of the game. and even beyond the release we have stuff confirmed like UGC and darkrides (dark rides are softly confirmed if the game is succesfull enough).

All in all, if i can give my 2 cent's... if you like RCT3, Planet Coaster is the way to go [happy]
 
The game is already a lot of fun if you enjoy building things. If you pull the trigger just remember what you're getting.

The are releasing parts of the game to test and play with, in small bits.

At minimum if this type a game interests you I'd at least pre-order as you will get it cheaper.
 
Thank you so much for the valuable information. You really got me excited for this game now.
Thats it. Im all in!!!
I know its just very early of the roll out but I am so excited. The graphics and the dev team so open and warm towards the consumers. Yes, I love RCT and the entire series but this game is just moving in all the right directions. [up]

Well Actually this game is the closest to RCT you can get as it's the only one that has any of the people from the first 3 games. Remember 1&2 was basically a Chris Sawyer solo project. 3 was Frontier with Sawyer as a consultant. Atari was just the money guy on the third one. Being a money person can not produce a true sequal if there are no original cast coming back. Just look at bad movie "sequals" that have all new cast, director, and actors.
