I still WANT them to fix loading/unloading - having to wait for every single person to exit thru the gate before new riders enter hurts the capacity, profitability, and queue length, especially with log rides and dark rides where in test mode you have a huge gap between the last car and the first car yet have constant stacking behind the station when open
Yes please fix this! So many of my roller coasters get crazy long lines because this mechanic even with putting the exit right next to the roller coaster train. I dont like how it leads to negative guest reactions because of the long waits.
I don’t like that riders on ride such as a log flume have to wait until their at the end of the station to get off. As well, now that I know that the game has the animation skills to show someone actually sit down and stand up from a bench, why can’t we have a natural look of guests getting on or off a ride? Games should be advanced than a run and clip and done as well as a click out of the cars by now.
Is there an option to change all the staff colors at once e.g. set a "default" uniform color? Or do I seriously have to go to every single staff member to change them one by one? That would be useless then.
Mhm it’s good for being free ... totally agree with you on the restaurants though. Thanks for the compact overview. I think the big changes are saved for the anniversary update.
ok, but then again we were able to place toilets, shops, service, first aid and any ride inside a building just to make the peeps walking into it. I really don't see the advantage that restaurants deliver in this question. a benefit to the game would have been, if restaurants showcase guests sitting at tables and being served. don't get me wrong - i am happy that this is not the case (it would waste game performance), i am just wondering what's the sense of having the restaurant feature this way, cause you were already able to fake around to gain the same effect.
In my opinion it would be awesome if there was a kind of dummy entrance where they just go through. And that entrance has different options like Hotel, restaurant or just a price for going through there.
Id like to see more pathing options like the one concrete paint they added. For us non-builders, premade grey buildings that we could decorate ourselves would be amazing. Similar to what uthris did when he was planning out buildings.
C D , unfortunately no. To prevent frame rate drop: 1) Upgrade your computer if you have enough cash. 2) Limit the number of visitors visiting your theme park ( Worked for me. )
My Pc can also run basically every game on high and ultra. Planet Coaster as well, but as soon as my parks grows (just scenery, coaster etc and no visitors) it starts to lag terribly.
Wait at the food vending machine part I am really surprised you didn’t mention the ice cream vending machine in oblivion’s ride queue since you’ve been to Alton towers so many times
Restaurants feel a bit soulless in this game. Like I get the point of the mechanics: the entry way is what it is and we’re not suppose to worry about the inside of the building. But a perfectionist like myself would actually like the inside to look like a real restaurant. One with waiters, cash registers, a kitchen, booths and tables, etc. I felt this way about staff rooms when it first dawned on me what building a stall or shop really was. I should be able to build a staff room as well that looks like an actual break room, and one that isn’t just my staff walking into a dark box.
Not necessarily... seeing that they have the ability to do that for flat rides like Go carts, they would just have to port it over. I thought it would be cool to have a short track ride thats sort of a chase style coaster.
Mitch Henderson Ye it would be cool, but it would be literally impossible in real life and also for coasters in this game. A train can’t pass through the station when there’s already a train in the station. Unless you have a certain switching mechanism/turntables like a few newer coasters have (and Planet Coaster doesn’t) it is impossible.
Okay thia video is old but I hope someone will read it. My challenge tells me to build a restaurant with 2 rooms. I assumed that meant adding an expansion, but it's not doing anything and I cannot find anu tutorials or info anywhere. Anyone got the golden tip?
i sense they are slowly falling out of love with this game , thisis pretty poor to be honest ,respect its free fair enough totally and given a lot of free stuff(most should be free and/or in original game anyway ) ,this meh
Well I think they didn't over-do the restaurants. Btw, Planet Coaster is more of a theme park game not a coaster game, and theme parks have restaurants.

They won't ever fix this, just move on, sorry.

Yes! So glad they gave you access to a review build... Thanks for getting this up for us promptly! :D
Geekism has apparently never been to Japan. They have vending machines for everything in Japan.... everything... Yes... everything...
Mhm it’s good for being free ... totally agree with you on the restaurants though. Thanks for the compact overview. I think the big changes are saved for the anniversary update.
are they going to have a anniversary update?
chris pretty sure. Bo spoiled it in the newest “Schematics” podcast.
@Kyote ... Hopefully , we really ne a perfomance boost
I like the prison! :P
You can use resturaunts to make people walk into buildings and stay inside.
wasn't that the sense of hotels already?
Hos but with hotels they stay in for longer. You don't really notice but still its more detail.

Hos true

Would make it easier for sure, since you don't have to place those useless cubes!
WOW,,you pay $50 to get into a park only to get a hamburger from a vending machine,,ewww Thats like going to Paris and eating at Taco Bell.
There is a McDonald's on the Champs-Élysées and I've totally been there.
I don't think getting hot or cold food from a vending machine is going to be appetizing or even safe to eat due to enhanced food poisoning
Id like to see more pathing options like the one concrete paint they added. For us non-builders, premade grey buildings that we could decorate ourselves would be amazing. Similar to what uthris did when he was planning out buildings.
Still no improvement to pathing, like making more natural plazas and wider paths. Also coaster track smoothing needs to be improved.
Restaurants and hotels are a total work around. I think these need to be built into a new sequel to be done properly.
Has frontier stopped development after 2018?
Thanks for the comprehensive overview
This is an incredible update - such a massive leap in ease.
How so, I am not sure I get your sarcasm.
Did they fix the low framerate issue yet?
C D , unfortunately no. To prevent frame rate drop:
1) Upgrade your computer if you have enough cash.
2) Limit the number of visitors visiting your theme park ( Worked for me. )
my computer is already high end and can play every game fine. Its an issue with the game
C D , hmm..... That's weird. Why not limit the number of theme park guests around 3000 (maximum) people.
My Pc can also run basically every game on high and ultra. Planet Coaster as well, but as soon as my parks grows (just scenery, coaster etc and no visitors) it starts to lag terribly.
Wait at the food vending machine part I am really surprised you didn’t mention the ice cream vending machine in oblivion’s ride queue since you’ve been to Alton towers so many times
Love the favorite tags!
I have a bug i don't have the restaurants, did any have the same problem ?

I really just want them to add swimming pools, roller coaster tycoon 3 style. I would love that.
Yeah
in italy there are pizza vending machines
In France there's baguette vending machines! It's true!
ow and i almost forget our dutch snack walls (aka kind of a vending machine)
Well that's interesting, I've never seen one in my homeland.
I have seen it in mirabilandia and gardaland
cant wait
They definitely need to add planet zoo restaurants in planco ⚠️
Can the rollercoasters lap if there are more than one car? Just curious.
Mitch Henderson No
LOL, duh

I hope we get midway games.
Als9 great laping
I'm on holiday, and I won't be able to play when I get home cause I will be at school after that...
I'll phone in sick
Finally color people
Also Yes! I can leave doors open, yay
So so disappointed with the restaurants!
Ditto.
Disappointed
i sense they are slowly falling out of love with this game , thisis pretty poor to be honest ,respect its free fair enough totally and given a lot of free stuff(most should be free and/or in original game anyway ) ,this meh
Better coaster designer please, restaurants are cool but it's Planet Coaster, not planet Restaurant.
Well I think they didn't over-do the restaurants. Btw, Planet Coaster is more of a theme park game not a coaster game, and theme parks have restaurants.
Well that was a shitty update... this game have been a disappointment for the past few updates.
agreed , fact is they aren't very interested anymore
