Hello Frontier. Everything I've seen from Planet Coaster looks beautiful, but I'm getting a Zoo Tycoon (2013 reboot) vibe from it, and I know you guys developed that game for the Xbox. Will Planet Coaster be a full, fleshed out, theme park sim similar to your previous title Rollercoaster Tycoon 3? Because if Planet Coaster is Zoo Tycoon except it's a theme park, that wouldn't be good...
Will this end up like Zoo Tycoon (2013)? Please address this.

My best educated guess is this:
They're using a similar pathing mechanism from ZT2013.
Very similar art style
And that's about it.
Since they own the IP to Planet Coaster, I expect they'll definitely give us the experience we want, I highly doubt they would shoot themselves in the foot considering that this could be the next big release that they may ever have.
I'm calling it now, it's going to be like the Simcity and Cities Skylines release all over again.

Don't worry. Zoo Tycoon worked very differently. PC will be how you create it.

Oh god no, we talked about this is another thread. Please, if anyone from Frontier is reading this, path placement is a must have in a theme park sim. The path system in Zoo Tycoon worked because of the limitations of using a controller over a mouse and keyboard.
