Venetian Carousel

First off, I absolutely love the Carousel! It's absolutely gorgeous so...excellent job on it devs! [yesnod][up] I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but will you be updating or anyway change the carousel music? It's just too repetitive and isn't enjoyable as the RCT version. It is too short and there is no depth to it. It just keeps on doing the same tune over and over which is quite annoying. Even the Aeronauts ride has better carousel music that is not as repetive. IDK, maybe keep the music continuous...even after the ride is stopped and just add the ringing sound when the ride starts and stops. Also maybe have random carousel songs play like in rct1 and 2. I don't want to be a huge pain and know how hard you guys are working, but just feel that it needs to be addressed. Please and thank you for reading/listening. I hope that the Carousel will be updated to a much better and longer version.

I love the Carousel as well but also hope the music could maybe be a little better and would be awesome if the bulbs were not 2D at least on the front top edge where it is very obvious.

Then hopefully we will have a larger diameter more traditional merry-go-round like linked as this one is much smaller than that of for instance the one you linked. It would add some lovely variety and most the assets are done which means wouldn't be the most time consuming to do.
 
I do agree there needs to be more variation in the carousel music. Maybe make it similar to RCT 1 and 2 where you have a looping playlist of different songs just so things don't get too repetitive! It's based in reality as well, since most real world merry go rounds don't play only one song.

I definitely want different merry go rounds too. The tiny one we have now is gorgeous but I'd love a larger "grand" carousel and maybe even a double decker version like we had in older RCT games. Maybe even some different appearance options based on themes? (I.e. a "spooky" carousel, "space" carousel, etc.) Hopefully something like that wouldn't be too much work.
 
Various carousel designs/themes sounds like a great idea. [up] I never thought it was necessary in RCT but now that I think about it, the current one does seem a bit small compared to other rides in this game. I also like the idea of having different audio tracks for it, or preferably the ability to upload our own (if it doesn't effect park sharing)
 
I would be happy with 3 styles. The already created Venetian carousel, a small 2 row merry go round, and a full sized 4-row traditional carousel.

Yes, having at least one of every type of carusel would be all kinds of awesome... (Bonus points if the two row variant was done in a fantacy theme with Rabits, Unicorns, "Seahorses", Gazelles, deer, goats, and Zebras and large cats... (Perhaps with pumpkin "Cart" seats...)

Unfortunately we were not in a position to update our soundbanks for Alpha 0.2.3. As a result, the piece of music that you hear is one I wrote (and temporarily looped) a while ago as a first iteration prototype. So I completely agree it's repetitive (sorry!), but I can assure you I've been writing more music recently.

Keep your ears open for Alpha 0.3 and hopefully the updated music will be more to your liking [hehe] If not, let me know... and I'll keep working on it!

Oh, and yes, we definitely hope to provide multiple carousel music tracks for you though as we approach the full release of the game.

Venetian Carousel entrance sign lights

Are you guys aware that the lights on the entrance sign for that ride don't light up at night?

These are great news. I absolutely love the carousel and the music and when there is more variation it will be even more awesome. Thank you guys so much for the great work you put into this game [heart]
