Non Sci-fi version of the Collider

[HerrJurgen]

Hey,

I think the Collider is a great ride to build in parks. But the problem is that I'am not a fan of Sci-fi things, so i've never built a ride like the Collider because it simply doesn't fit in my non Sci-fi parks. My idea is to add a new version of the Collider, but then in a more classical style.

I know I could give the ride some other colors, but it always turns out too ugly. So I was wondering if it's possible to add a more classical version of the Collider which I can color like the Tri-Storm. I added a picture of an Enterprise that kinda looks how i would like to see them in the game.

1+! [up]

When I was a kid I rode one of those called Apple Turnover (I think it was at 6Flags). Much as I enjoy the sci-fi-themed version (it's a staple in each of my sci-fi parks), a classic version would be much appreciated. [yesnod] Preferably not linked the way Weisshorn/MonteLeon are so they can be researched separately, but I'll take what I can get.

Yes. This is what I am Thinking too. And when you do do it, please give them a ridesequence that lift them up to the half hight and let them turn some Rounds in the middle before it moved up to the Top. And a Backyard Option, too.

It would be great to see a classic flat ride DLC as there's many missing in the game (yeah I know not everything can't be added) but PC is lacking if you want to make fair style parks etc.

I'm am very much with you on this one. Let us theme the area around rides and maybe have a dropdown "car type" option on flat rides. I do not like rides with fixed themes, it makes them barely useable.

I have never used this ride in a park because I'd have to build a completely covering ride skin.

I love the overall animation of the Collider, it´s very close to the real thing. And a few changes would make it even better:
Yes, I would also love to have a ride-sequence that lifts the ride to half height.
Also, please consider removing the inner fence (the one that´s fencing off the platform towards the inner edge). This is never existing in "real life" since peeps can´t reach that area, plus it´s a potential hazard for collision with the gondolas.
For reality (and capacity) I would also love to have 2 peeps sitting in one gondola.

Yes, I agree with everything said here. I love the ride but the fact that it is themed to Sci-Fi, makes it unusable it a lot of parks of mine.

The devs have got good at making everything generic now, but Sam did say once in a stream that they would rather spend their time making new rides instead of going back and re-theming old ones which is fair I guess [sad]

Yes please! And please remove the giant oversized base it sits upon.

Although I agree with you, if we ask for a version that can be achieved by changing absolutely nothing but the art then only the art-devs get into it. I won't say that their work will be easy/simple/nothing to worry about, but it's the easiest thing compared to changing the animation (which two-guest gondolas would take, as would a half-height ride sequence) which IIUC means getting the coding-devs into it too, so we're less likely to get it.

Not so much re-theming as de-theming.

I found the video where Bo and Sam answered a question about re/de-theming other flat rides: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca4wLeARSwc

(They talk about it at around 15:07)

Maybe one day it will happen, but I can see why they might not as there are a lot more other things they could be spending their time on [happy]

And when Weisshorn was previewed it was the feedback over the limiting theming that got us Monte Leon. Providing a generic-themed version of the Collider would essentially give us a whole 'nother flat ride with significantly less effort.

Okay, you can give me the modelfile and I change it and give you back.
.... its Fun. Maybe One day it will be optimized.
