Switch and/or Transfer tracks

DwarrenIce · Jun 14, 2016

Hi,

I think it would be cool if the coasters have functioning transfer tracks with multiple trains on them. And maybe (if possible[big grin]) even make it so that if there are 100+ peeps in the row that a train will be automatically added from the storage onto the track? Also I think that adding switches on the coasters (like expedition everest) can be an improvement.

I'm curious if there are more people who would like to see this?[rolleyes]

I agree. Even if it's just a building where the trains slide into and disappear, it would be cool if there was an "add train" option while a coaster was running. (Curious if there will be working block brake systems as well.)

I also want switch tracks on the ride -

- to alternate loading from each side of a dual station (like Big Thunder Mountain)
- to stop and reverse a coaster during the ride onto a switch track (like Big Grizzly Mountain)
- I'd love a "drop" section (like Thirte3n) which can be set to then go forward or reverse out of the lower section.
- And a "tilt" section (like Gringotts) where the coaster stops and the track is tilted forward or back to join the next track section

Awesome idea! I would like to see that in Planet Coaster. [up]

I would mainly want this for transport rides

How about elevator tracks? We would need an assortment of tracks to make rides like Expedition Everest, Revenge of the Mummy, etc.

What's an elevator track? I know there are elevator lifts and "freefall" drop track sections on real coasters, but not on either of those you mention...?

Wonderful idea [up]

I assume elevator track would be an alternate to chain lift or launched like Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain or Cannibal at Lagoon.

I would love switch tracks, so much more creative freedom!

I would love to see elevator lifts in game too, like you see on Winja's Fear and Force but then also for trains with multiple cars.

I would like transfer tracks and car storage/maintenance buildings for coasters, transport rides and other rides that have tracks, but especially for coasters and transport rides. [happy]

Here is a video showing the elevator track:

I would love to do this to set up a station w/ 2 tracks that converge to allow simulaneous loading, much like stormrunner in hershey park.

Anth08 · Jun 16, 2016

I think this is another one of those popular ideas that get requested, so I'm hoping that the team will be considering it for the future

DwarrenIce · Jun 16, 2016

And it you add a timer and some trigger set scenery around the switches you can make some great shows during the ride. I believe that I saw that there already was a thread for pre-shows so it could be an addition to that[big grin]

That would be great [up]

I love this idea! I think that it would really take the realism to the next level!

Feitan1 · Jul 18, 2016

It would be amazing if Transfer tracks were added to planet coaster [woah]

Long Story · Jul 19, 2016

I also would love to see this.

But there should also be the option to not have them for people who build fantasy stuff instead of realistic stuff. So optional transfer tracks would be AMAZING!
