Excuse me, I probably didn't understand it well... What is confirmed in the first Alpha build? Thanks for info.
Will the coaster builder be available in the Alpha from the beginning?

Since we've already seen the coaster builder, the first person cam on the coaster, the coaster in the stream was most likely made with the coaster editor, and they have made many references to how you can create really cool curves with the editor, I would say there is a good chance that there will be coasters in the alpha. Also, as many have said, the game is called Planet COASTER. And what else would be there to theme without the coasters???

Just to follow up on this old thread, the one thing the devs said on the video where "We really want people to dig into the modular building and terrain, this is what the first alpha stage will focus on", something like that, but doesn't mean nothing else will be added, but pathing, terrain and modular design was mumbled/mentioned a few times that this is what this first build will be about. What we seen thou does look amazing, I hope we get some flat rides and a roller coaster, but if not, I can live with just making the scenery to start, that alone will keep me busy for weeks on in I am sure!
I am looking forward to playing with the scenery.
Happy to build terrain and paths and entrances and shops for many weekends. There will be so much to try out, I cannot imagine getting bored by the lack of anything specific.

When you put it the way you did, with them saying they want us to experience the Modular building and terrain, That sounds like we will not see coaster building until a later date. Which is OKAY... BUT If I knew that I wouldn't of shelled out just for building buildings and terriforming the land around rides without really experiencing the ability to build roller coasters.
But it does sound like they are going to release the coaster builder at a later date, maybe they want to perfect Coaster building while we give a great test of Modular building and Terriforming so we can pull the bugs we can out before Q4 release.

This was the exact question I had, so I headed here and saw it was already asked. Well, I won't be disappointed, as I'm sure there will be enough to tinker with in the Alpha. That being said, I would love that they include even one coaster type just to get a feel of the editor. It looks smooth enough but I can also understand Frontier holding it back if the builder is far from finished.
I think we'll get one coaster. It'd do them more good in the way of public perception and positive public feedback. Plus all the YouTube videos that will go up will only help to reel more pre-orders in if they're looking great with a coaster whizzing round.
And RCTW managed to get their "awesome" coaster builder into the Beta weekend so I'm sure that Frontier won't give them that one. In fact, with Frontiers deep-rooted compulsion to -slap Atari at every given opportunity, I'm sure we'll get more than we bargained for.

Anything from Frontier at this point will be better then RCTW's "Beta" <shudder>
One coaster , a few flat rides and giving us a nice chunk of scenery with the modular building and terrain editing...I will be more then happy for awhile!

Personally I'm only going to expect paths and modular buildings and that's it. They seemed pretty adamant that that's what the focus was so that's what I'm expecting. Anything else is a pleasant surprise.
