Please give some minor love/tweaks for a few existing rides in the next update?

Would it be possible for Frontier to increase the max train lengths for the Iron Fury (from the current maximum of 10 cars per train to a new maximum of 12 cars per train) and the Tiamat (from 7cpt to 8cpt)? This has been an "issue" since the launch of the game. There was a point at which a different coaster had it's maximum cars per train increased, the Gnarler, after it was implemented into the game (on release it had 10cpt and they adjusted it to 12cpt). At the same time we petitioned for the Gnarler's trains, we also reminded them about these two other coasters. The Gnarler was adjusted really quickly, but the other two coasters haven't been touched yet.

It'd be nice with the "Magnificent Rides Collection" coming out that we could get this small change to improve these existing rides.
 
I think the number of cars on tracked rides needs to be increased as well really. 20's a decent number but it might not be enough for longer rides.
 
While we're on the subject of tweaking existing rides.

#1: PLEASE make several coasters kid-friendly (or give us control over that with a toggle for ALL coasters). Examples are Power UP, the Cascade (so it can do Pirates of the Caribbean), and several others. Seriously, the real rides these things are based on allow kids.

#2. PLEASE shorten the minimum track length of the Steel Hydra. 18m is WAY too big! Down to about 8m would a huge improvement, but of course why not 4m? Not only can this coaster not make realistically tight turn radii (at least for the Vekoma models) but it makes the brake run stupidly long.

#3. PLEASE shorten the minimum track length for the Aces Sky for the same reasons as above.

#1: Would most likely require new animations. So not as likely.

#2: Go into the "Game options" and toggle "Disable track limits"! 4 meters for everything! (The only restriction that still exists on it is a 45 degree limit vertically per segment)

#3: Same as #2, kinda. You can get down to 4 meters on the normal tracks; except for chainlifts and brakes, which are still long. Hopefully they change that in the future.

How so? And even if it does, I could do without them just to be able to allow kids on rides they can do in real life. Functionality over cosmetics.

But, if build a ride that way and put it on Workshop, will others have to change that setting themselves to be able to use it? If so, then this needs to be changed in the ride.
 
The Vector and SLV from the Magnificent Rides Collection need some adjusting, too.

Vector should have a max of 6 cars per train (maybe even 8, just in-case any of this type in the future go up that far)

SLV should have a max of 8 cars per train

(Don't forget about the Iron Fury and Tiamat)


Edit: Today I realized the Vector doesn't have trim brakes! It has magnetic and friction brakes (which don't have much functional differences), but no trims! By the way, for future coasters Frontier decides to add: could we please have trims that can go down to the normal 4 meter segment length? It would be appreciated.
