Station Launch

Hello Everyone,

First of all please don't get me wrong. I love Frontier and Planet Coaster [happy] but,

I have always been kind of confused when it comes to Planet Coaster's lack of roller coasters that can launch from inside their own station. It has always been one of my favorite types of roller coasters in RCT3 and in real life. When the Magnificent Rides DLC was about to be released and I discovered that a Schwarzkopf style roller coaster was in it, I was very excited. I honestly felt it was safe to assume that it would include a station launch feature given how many iconic Schwarzkopf shuttle loops were made and still operate today. When I finally got my hands on it I was saddened to find station launch was left out. Still though I feel the Magnificent Rides DLC was a terrific addition to the game.

As a bit of a side note, I myself am more of a re-creation style player and sadly many of the rides I wish to recreate are not possible because of Planet Coaster's lacking.

To list a few :

-Superman The Escape - Six Flags Magic Mountain (Intamin freefall)

-Full Throttle - Six Flags Magic Mountain (Premier Rides Steel Launched LSM)

-Xcelerator - Knott's Berry Farm (Intamin Steel Launched Hydraulic Catapult)

-Montezooma's Revenge - Knott's Berry Farm (Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loop)

---I can only think of a couple rides that launch outside of their station in my neck of the woods

I suggest at a minimum to remove the cap on the station exit speed to suffice as a "launch". Maybe add a launch sound above a 30mph exit speed?

...but I hope I am not alone in this wishing. If anyone has any opinion or voice to add to this suggestion please do so!

Planet Coaster is one of my favorite games and I feel has a very much alive and prospering community. I hope Frontier will continue to support such an awesome game and it's players with more DLC's, improvements, and maybe even Expansions down the road [big grin]

Thanks for your read,

You can make a launch coaster launch from the station by increasing the station exit speed to max.

Sure.... if you are okay with launching 22mph into a dead stop on the hydraulic launch catch.

Or maybe you mean launching and holding at 22mph until the train fully exits the station and then finally rapidly accelerates to the desired launch speed.

That is just simply not how a significant amount of launch coasters in the world work.

I personally am not happy with either of those and I know others desire the ability to launch from stopped inside the station as well.

It would however be that simple if they just raised the slider cap for station exit speed. [yesnod]
