If they add switch tracks, turntables and other modern stuff to the coaster editor, it could be even interesting for real coaster manufacturers with the train editor and so on, to show their layouts and design Ideas that don´t exist.

What I'm really looking for from this game is a far easier and more accessible building system! The original's and Planet Zoo's scenery building systems were powerful and great if you had disposible time to spend ages on a singular building to make it look good, but it was near impossible for the average joe to build something that looked good/not generic due to how complex and finnicky the system was.

[@vickylewis8558]

100%!! I love the animals and guests in Planet Zoo, but the building aspect makes me so miserable. I would love for PlanCo2 (and PlanZoo2!) to be much more management/guest+animal care focussed, and far less on building.

[@rain3948]

OMG ITS HAPPENING!!! Im really excited to see how they improved the management and economics!

[@AskMeWhen]

I can’t believe I didn’t notice the rocks appearing on the teacup ride. I watched the trailer over and over and kept concentrating on the submarine in the middle.

[@RudiRennkamel]

Hehhe

[@graiityou4270]

Maybe they give you the option to choose between Single Rider and Fast Pass on a second Entrance. This would fit pretty cool. As an example the Gardaland had Single Rider entrances but turned them into Fast Passes, so I think the choice would be good, because there’s no reason to use both, but they work the same. I also think that a Fast Pass like in PlanCo1 would be bad, because it isn’t that realistic to connect the Fast Past to the main queue

[@Daniel_Coasters]

It is different they connect to the station from the path!! I saw this on the trailer when I zoomed into the wooden coaster station!!!

[@Random_Games601]

I just noticed the guests have toes now😂😂😂

[@GingerManBread]

Bro why did you notice that???

[@James_110]

I hope they've implemented the tiny detail of having the guests legs move while on coasters just like on the dive coaster at the start of the trailer

[@Daniel_Coasters]

I hope they also implement people’s new fear like laughing, holding hands, being freaked out like in the trailer! Like right before a drop.

[@sandiego2380]

play as a guest? Where has that been confirmed? And how?

[@user-wp5lm8pv4s]

It would be amazing to have: 1. Two platform management with an alternating switch track between parallel platforms allowing for double throughput. 2. Separate loading / unloading zone 3. Unloading finishes before all passengers exit through the one small gate. For example mirror the entrance gates to the other side to speed up dispatch. 4. Allow us to treat coasters as transport rides with multiple stations on the loop. It would be a separate ride mode. 5. Good track smoothing that keeps the heartline of the track. 6. Dynamic ride ops: Brings more trains on the track when the que gets long. There could be trigger markers on the que to bring on extra trains from the depot. 7. Coaster depot / maintenance building. 8. Custom drop, swing, roll, switch track. Could have a track position 1 and 2 and the sim animates between them in any axis or orientation. 9. Better track support modeling (it should not just disappear if there is an obstruction, it should find a path around it or link to other supports. 10. Bring planet zoo into planet coaster. We could have a hybrid coaster park / zoo. Or coasters going through exhibits. Comment if you agree!

[@SunSailor]

I really hope, you'll be able to build the coasters in seperated segments now. I mean, in a clunky way this was possible before, but being able to place the signature parts of a coaster first and then connect these would be amazing.

[@thirteentimes365]

I'm intrigued to know more about the new pathing system and plazas. I'm really hoping this will allow me to create parks more easily and help attain a realistic look to them, which is something I really struggled to achieve in Planet Coaster.

[@jeroncollado]

ITS ABOUT TIMEEE! everything sounds amazing! my hopes are still: sit down restaurants/booths, small carts (churro carts, drink carts, merch carts) with a employee working them, and a stage/entertainment concept! for the stage one, i would love to see guests sit or stand (your choice) in a designated area and watch a firework show or maybe a performer scenery piece (such as live bands, mascots, stunt shows etc) with amazing lights and production things!!!

[@unregulardude]

best news i’ve heard in a while. seriously can’t wait for this new entry in the Planet franchise with how intuitive these features are! hoping coaster smoothing is easier and truly smooth; like NL2 smooth xD also hoping for transfer/switch/drop tracks. this is also a stretch but maybe in a halloween dlc, they could introduce scare haunt mazes and scare actors/actresses certain themed zones. i used to work for a theme park where haunt mazes first originated and its a highly popular activity in the theme park events.

[@marcosisdecent]

that police chase coaster you made is crazy good my guy!!! Cant wait for PC2 I cant wait to edit trains!!!

[@DennisVlaanderen]

I want an in-depth fireworks/particle emittor editor like we had in RCT3, so we can create more realistic fireworks again for the game. Loved the entire Firework show building community in RCT3, and the showcontroller they had with PC1 had massive potential to be amazing for that if we had some decent fireworks.

[@samukai3349]

for now seems like almost everything I wanted will be here (being able to custom your rides and flat rides) but if there is free falling tracks, switchs tracks, ... it will be a must buy in the second the game is out I really can't wait to know what is left to discover and why they seemed to hide relly specific parts I guess we'll see more the 31th in the frontier unlocked

I really hope they also added a brush tool to quickly make forests (just like in JWE) and a fence tool (which I'm quite certain they'll have because PZ and JWE have it). Together with weather, improved performance due to DX12 support and overall and improved engine, plazas and hopefully deeper and better balanced gameplay and a better campaign, this will finally truly be THE RCT successor that has everything RCT had but even better.

Remember when we were always talking to the devs during the meet ups about attaching pieces to flat rides and scaling building pieces? Im so glad they heard us! Now i want the idea I talked with them on the same meet up about also using the same systems to create themed parades, by attaching theming to blnack vehicles. If they add that as a future dlc this is gonna be our dream game (also hopefully the fixed the firework system so it behaves more like rct3).

[@lolers9524]

Something not a lot of people are talking about that I surely want is decals on workers. So thst if we wanted logos on shirts or hats for our parks instead of basic colors if that makes sense

[@NicoWashowich]

I’m really hoping they bring back the hybrid coaster but with the 2nd generation trains without a themeing piece on the zero car and then you could get a tmtk zero car and put it on the car

[@ringking7]

I hope they run very deep with it and focus on having lots of systems. That was my biggest issue with PC1, to much focus on coasters and not enough on the other parts that are in a themepark. I wanna be able to create a themepark that feels complete and unique with 0 coasters if I want. Waterslides are a good starting point, hopefully there is enough there to run a pure water park, but I'de love to see them really diversify the types of parks you can make rather than assuming that every park is going to have mostly coasters (which, in my experience, is rarely the case).

going off what rudi said about their reluctance to rework the pathing for planet zoo, it makes complete sense that they would revamp it now because it would be impossible to use the old pathing system and build quality water parks. good on them anyways, they really seem to have listened to the community. the fact that this is only PRE-ALPHA shows how far they’ve come since the og planet coaster

Since the console version can easily be 100% restricted, I hope more solutions can be thought of.

What i really hope for is DirectX 12 and DLSS support, I have a AMD Ryzen 7800x3D on a 3070Ti in big busy parks 7k+ visitors I'm at 30-40fps at the best on medium/high settings, 1440p, i know my hardware can do much better but the current game just doesn't run well even on powerful hardware i start out at 200+ FPS in a brand new empty park but all the assets just eat up performance as you build. I understand many assets and animations will dull down the performance and it comes down to the engine they use, but if i could maintain 60-70+ fps in a big busy park it makes it that much more enjoyable to work on and watch while the animations are running. I also hope for a lot of quality of life changes for micro management like setting prices on rides and stalls to 1 number at once and opening and closing all at once, grouping staff training all at once, stuff like that. The new editor and path system is already a huge win, i hope more is done.
