I've googled coasters and I don't quite get the appeal!

Don't forget Parkitect.
The more theme park/roller coaster type games, the better. It will only make all the different developers be on the top of their game and strive to create the best product they can, instead of half-assing it since there's no competition anyway. Good news, good luck on the development Frontier. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Excellent. Love Tycoon games.
Procedurally generated coaster rides hear we come
The Cobra ride
The black hole
With realistic queuing for ride simulation. Qjump via extra credits
Hopefully visitors will be more diverse.
Purchase coaster skins from store
This would make a good game http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076636/

And the ability to ride using the OR.
This sounds fun!
Next up, please consider "Elite: Dangerous, Stories"! This would be a standalone FPS set in the Elite universe with proper voice acting, cut-scenes, etc. So no piloting spaceships, but lots of shooting, sneaking, tech gadgets, etc. As a separate game, ED expansion holders would still have to purchase it, perhaps with a discount.
EDS would expand the Elite universe. Equally importantly, it would generate a lot of the assets for the procedural ED expansions - bits of space stations, buildings, weapons, animations, textures, etc. I can't see how making all the planetary stuff just for an expansion could be viable, but if the assets could be shared, then you almost get them for free.

Frankly a Kickstarter would be cool. I love all those extra levels of goodies.
I'm sure it'd do very well, not that the funding is needed, but it'd be good for marketing?

"Roller"caoster Tycoon is a name not owned by FD, most probably owned by the publisher, so FD can't use it if making their own 'coaster' game....
They should do this so they can have players create living space stations that would look different and could be a bridge between the two games. Then technically, players could own space stations
Not quite
I think that has been done already by someone else, but not really sure.They should do this so they can have players create living space stations that would look different and could be a bridge between the two games. Then technically, players could own space stations
