No Human animatronics!?

[Kutterköter]

So I saw this video by Youtuber "Wikz Gaming" about new animatronics-systems and its pretty impressive. But why are there no viking-animatronics fighting each other, or a greek hero giving a heroic speech? Look, when I visit an amusement park, I love to go to those dark rides, because they are always such a good option to just relax and watch the small little story unfold, those parks want to tell. And in the basegame I have just very limited options to tell my story for a dark-ride. I really wanted to create a viking-fume-ride, which at some point goes through a cavern, and dwarfs are mining there and there is a dragon (which was in PC1) who spits fire. And at this point I can't do it, except I combine the tiny pieces like balls und other basic shapes, what always looks kinda silly. For a successor of a creative game, I expected more on this topic. I really hope they are cooking something up for this.

I really hope, they plan an animatronic-creator for this in the near future. You know, select a mannequin, dress it, choose hair, colours and put it into a pose.

Otherwise I wouldn't understand this lack of animatronics at all.

I wonder if this is why we don’t have any human animatronics as yet because there is a new innovative solution cooking away for this?

Imagine if we had an animatronic creator. You select the ‘actor’ from a range with different appearances (face and body shape), then select a costume for top half and bottom half along with accessories (everything obviously flexicolour) then select the animation you’d like from a list. More could be added with each DLC. This would open up so much scope.

This would be a dream and an amazing thing to have, if that is going to happen then I'm all smiles from ear to ear

I'd also like to see janky animatronics that you'd see in fun fair Ghost Trains and smaller parks with less money.

I like the way you’re thinking! Now this is what I like to think they’re doing. Frontier has always innovated and this would make sense to go this route.

I don't anticipate nearly as many actual animatronics in the game this time around, given they have now provided the tools to create your own moving pieces. Already seeing some really cool things being made with this, Geekism's splashpad with a working giant water bucket is pretty awesome.

100% agree with the OP. We need animatronic human figures in appropriate attire for every scenery theme that rolls out. It's a no brainer!
