Unfortunately this "Magnificent Rides" pack seems to be lacking for me. The game has a serious lack of flat rides and kiddie rides. I was really hoping this pack would deliver, but all it has is two versions of the Hyper Jump, a grand carousel, Flying Eagles, and a breakdance ride.
No hate, but I'm starting to notice these dlc packs are containing less and less and remain at the $11 price.
Hi Sir Isaac
thanks for your thoughts! Sorry to hear the latest pack isn't what you expected!
Just to give you some context though: while it may seem like there's less content in the Magnificent Rides Collection, due to it being a rides-focused pack rather than a scenery-focused one, for our team it was actually one of the most challenging and content-heavy ones we did! Rides are a lot more intricate, expensive, and tricky to design compared to static scenery pieces. A single ride could take up to 45 days from concept to completion, whereas a static scenery piece needs a lot less time (hence the Toolkit, albeit a more simplified version of that process!). Rides need a book-sized design document, animation, artwork, programming, the whole deal - so to have nine of them in a pack was quite the undertaking! I hope this puts the price point a bit more into perspective.
If you'd like more info on game and coaster design, I'd invite you to watch back some of the developer streams we did when these packs come out; our super talented devs are very good at explaining the amount of work (and passion) that goes into them!
