Some additional flat rides for additional DLC

Hello everyone,

I was thinking last night about flat rides I would eventually like to see in PC. They all come from an amusement park called Knoebels in Elysburg, PA that I grew up with. I'm not sure how popular, or even prevalent, these rides are at other parks but I am curious to know.

First off is a ride known at Knoebels as the Flyer. Attached to the center structure are eight (I think) seats, fitting up to two people, suspended by two steel cables. In front of each set of seats is a controllable "sail" that allows the guest(s) to change the height and angle of their individual 'flyer', independent from the other seven flyers. While growing up, this ride use to scare me because of the angles that can be achieved while flying and the lack of redundancy in the amount of steel cables attached to each flyer. This is an awesome ride that I haven't seen elsewhere.

The second ride I would like to recommend is a good ride for families with small children. This is also a ride located at Knoebels and one that I fondly remember riding each time I visited the park with my family. It is known as the Roto Jets. Ride height of each jet is controlled by a joystick mounted in the 'cockpit' that pneumatically controls the arm that the 'jet' is attached to. Each jet operates independently from the other jets. I apologize that the video is not the clearest.

Note to the developers: First off, your team at Frontier has done such an outstanding job on this game and I've been recommending it to everyone I know/meet that enjoys theme parks. If it is decided by Frontier that the two rides above are actually considered for addition to the game, I can give you some of the specifics about each ride, like height and RPM.

Thanks everyone and enjoy.

The first ride you show there Cedar fair has bringing back to it's parks.. King's Island has one called "Flying Eagles" .. I always enjoyed those...

A few I want to see... the classic Paratroopers

A different version of Teacups for different themes.. using barrels isntead. King's Island had "Der SPinnin Keggers" Drayton manor still has one I think

A classic 1 story Larger carousel would nice... no need for a picture of this..

and then here's an odd one I'd like to see that's different than most flats and would make a great addition to variety in parks other than just spinning around

xShadowx,

Wow man those are some great suggestions as well. I especially like the classic paratroopers ride and the last one... I think it's called roundup?

RCT called it ROundup I think.. I know it from a small park called Camden park I used to visit when i was younger when the park was at it's best.. now.. you want to get a shot before even visiting.. At Camden park it was known as Magic Rainbow.. it's quite fun.

I think these represent some different styles of rides to mix things up a bit in flatrides and not have them all similar in style and performance

I love all these ride suggestions! [happy] Another from Knoebels that I would really love is "Downdraft" (often known elsewhere as the Hurricane). So fun just to watch this one operate.

I still hope to see a Music Express and/or Himalaya added into the game which in RCT3 they called it the Thunderbobs. A midway classic. I do hope they fix the forced name on the Scizzer. I do wish that Collider had a more generic feel to it rather than the sci-fi rocketship gondolas.

There are so many more flats I would love to see arrive into Planet Coaster that I honestly would pay $30 to $40 for a DLC that only included flat rides- a mega flat ride pack that included all the classics and oldies like The Spider, The Whip, Parachutte Drop. Music Express, Paratrooper, Aviator, Disk'O, Breakdance, Hopper, Chaos, Power-Launch Drop Tower, Carousel and Tornado are rides that I would love to have in the game- I would just create a park consisting of just flats or re-create a State Fair type of park.

I'm with you.. I'd pay about 30 for that... Especially for a more colorful generic version of Collider. Another thing I just realized we are missing is more kids rides.. there's really nothing for the little guys and families. Being able to change the hieght on the tower rides would also be nice. I love how they look but they are just too ❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎ tall

I guess not really a ride, but the game could certainly use a "show stadium" where the peeps all sit down for a movie or a stunt show, etc (created by the player).

Perhaps it would be nice if both the attraction timing and the excitement could be set by the player.

- Breakdance (it´s the most successful ride on the planet/best selling ride)
- Hully Gully/Trabant
- Flipper (Huss Rides...if you´re at it: The whole Huss-Rides roster ;))
- Saltamontes/Air-Jump
- Cinema/Motion Simulator/Flying Theater
- Slides / Helter Skelter
- S&S inspired Freefall/Launch-Towers / Intamin inspired Freefall-Tower with multiple 4 person cars (sitdown/floorless/stand-up versions) with adjustable height!
- Walk-Through attractions (Fun-House, etc.)

I'm definitely with you xSHADOWx on kiddie rides. Game vs Reality, well, this game with it's detailing is almost a virtual reality park creator. But rides like Whirly Rig, Venetian Carousel, Teacups, and Magic Twirl are rides that "tots" would ride, but we definitely need more child-appropriate attractions.

I'm really not a huge fan of themed rides, and if they are themed it honestly should come with 2 or 3 themed skins and 1 generic version. Take for example the Magic Twirl- a pirate theme with a talking parrot in the center and Jolly Roger ships that lifted around it. And for a sci-fi theme we could have it be an alien with flying saucers swirling around.

With kiddie rides, they could work off the Planet Coaster theme similar to all major parks having a Planet Snoopy or Looney Tune theme. Rides actually built off the mascots of our park. Cosmic Cow could have it's own themed kiddie ride, along with Foxy, Amelie, Ellie, Gulpee Rex, Chief Beef, Dex-R, Captain Lockjaw, and the king himself, King Coaster.

Excellent ideas - I also am excited to learn what the future holds, and am anxious to get a hold of new flats.
Definitely agree we need "kiddie rides" ie: Hampton Cars, Boats, Motorcycles.

I am in love with the new Giant Wheel we are about to get - the modeling is impeccable! Would love to see them add a few more Chance rides such as the Revolution.

In the meantime, I've been making a few static scenery objects to serve as "place-holders" until (hopefully) operable versions come out.

I would love to see a launched drop tower, and possibly one that we can control the height of and not have it be extremely tall. [haha]
