Hi everyone,
As we briefly mentioned in one of our development updates a few months ago, we have been gearing up for our first optional paid content launch. Now we’re excited to tell you what it’s all about!
As of today, we’ve added three new downloadable content packs for Planet Coaster, featuring the DeLorean Time Machine from
Back to the Future, the K.I.T.T. and K.A.R.R. vehicles from
Knight Rider, and the Munster Koach and DRAG-U-LA vehicles from
The Munsters.
Each of these kits include special themed karts and components for your Go-Karts, as well as different scaled pieces for you to construct creatively (specific info below)! Each kit also contains the ready-made blueprint for the vehicle specific to that content pack.
Please note that each Construction Kit is completely optional for you to purchase! We’d love to see them appear in the game to see what you can do with them, and you will be supporting the Frontier team with the development of Planet Coaster.
The kits are available now and sold separately on both Steam and
the Frontier store for £1.99 ($2.99, €2.99)* each.
See below for details on what each kit includes!

How will it work?
If you do not want to purchase any additional content, that’s fine! You’ll be able to toggle them on or off by using the ‘lock button’ right next to the in-game search bar.
Any items on the Steam Workshop that feature paid content items will be marked with a special tag; if you own the same content items as the Workshop item, you’ll be able to place and interact with that blueprint as you would normally. If you do not own the same content items, you can still subscribe to that blueprint, but you will not be able to place it in your park – it will give an ‘obstructed’ notification as well as a warning that the item you’ve selected included DLC content.
The same happens with entire parks that contain additional content; upon opening the park, you will get an in-game notification that tells you this park contains DLC items. You can ignore the notification and fly through the park as you normally would, but any paid content will be locked for you and it won’t function within the park unless you have the correct kit purchased.
Should you have any more questions regarding these additional content items, we’ve prepared an
FAQ for you!
Thank you for your ongoing support; we can’t wait to see how you will incorporate these pieces into the game!
