Western Theme - Speculation

All,

Let me start by saying im very glad Frontier chose to add the classic themes! (Or at least 1 of them, but I guess there is a very good chance we will see more themes make a return in the future) When they mentioned the set will include over 350 pieces I was very hyped by the scope of this theme as well!! It feels like they go all out! I was especially thrilled to see the path items return as well!! This means we get a bench with back support!

As I like lists, overviews and speculations I was wondering what the western theme could include so I started to select all Scenery and building tagged with the "western" theme but that gave me a result slightly over 100 pieces and no building pieces at all. Another option was to make a selection on "Old west" building set and it turned out that resulted in a number way closer to 350! Keep in mind I'm assuming it will all be returning pieces! (And I think everything we have seen in the trailer support the idea it's all returning pieces, correct me if I'm wrong)

I cant say enough, this is all guessing from my end, and I could be totally wrong!!
My educated guess is that we might get the following pieces :

Getting all this means 386 pieces which is a bit over the 350 they mentioned. I have to say a few of these pieces, for example the classic brick set, are already in Planco 2 (or at least very similar altough not 100% the same) same for some of the wooden wall sets so those could be left out bringing the number of added pieces down to roughly 350. Needless to say this is purely speculation and guessing from my end and I could be totally wrong!!

Another unconfirmed thing, but within the realms of possible would be the return of Miss Elly as she was the western mascot! And last but not least, the western maps also had some western terrain textures. There has been no mention of them in any way but maybe we get a desert texture as well?

I will be soooo disappointed if Miss Elly doesn't make a return showing. I thought she was such a very well done mascot. I'd even love it if they went further and did one or two more in addition to as well, having a few with several of the themes. An old west sheriff or an outlaw would be nice..or both. Maybe even bring back the churros food brand. I know I'm greedy and want a lot but I have loved all of the things in PC1 and hope they are incorporated into 2 in addition to new. Best of both Planets...which kinda includes well.. everything? 😝
 
Is the Western theming coming with the March update 3 or separately? I hope we get all those pieces, but I'm still keeping PC1 installed because I have work in it that can't be imported into 2.

It will be added with the march update indeed!

20 days at the time of writing :)
 
I hope they also add in a "Desert" biome to go with the theme, along with Western-themed blueprints of some flat rides that haven't had any so far, such as:
  • Swinging:
    • 360 Tower
    • Behemoth Swing 360
    • Insanity
    • Iron Claw
    • Sun Dial
  • Spinning:
    • Frenzy Frill
    • Full Flight
  • Wheel:
    • Hellion Ring
    • Kick-Flip
    • Star Wheel
  • Tower:
    • Resurgence
    • The Screaminator

I dearly hope we get the Western Rocks and The red Terrain textures that matched - made the game greater for me.
Im with you 100%

Especially the terrain texture is important to me as you can sculpture landscape out of it which can save you placing a lot of items! Way better approach to keep the piece count low.

Agree - You could just use the terrain as Western Rocks - then just add a few rocks to add craggy/sculptured bits - and loved the colour - was the bees knees for me!
