Planet Coaster 2: General Discussion

On an unrelated note, I have a query about the DLC.

One of the coasters announced in it, alongside the Intamin Blitz, is the Vector Child Coaster (presumably modelled on a Vekoma Junior Coaster). I was wondering; do you think we’ll be allowed to make Family Boomerang-style coasters with this hardware? Or will it simply be another brand of regular junior coaster?

They've also teased the next paid DLC, for which more details will be announced next Monday. 👀

That's one hell of an update! Love the snow and thunderstorms additions!

I said this with Planco 1 - I wish they had layers in the game, so you could add spooky/Halloween and Christmas theming on a layer onto your existing rides and buildings, then switch it off so your original park is displayed again. As Planco 2 now has more accurate dates and seasons, the game could turn the layers on and off automatically depending on the season.

I love how they've updated the economy to the management side of the game, as someone who loved PC1 I’m looking forward to this! This definitely scratches that realism urge and will make the game way more immersive, which is just what I was hoping for!!

I think I need to buy a new computer first though…
 
It sounds as though we might be getting a Family Boomerang in Update 8:

This is cool to see! For such a common ride type, I was always surprised that they didn’t add it.

They've confirmed that as part of Update 8, the Vector Child Coaster included as part of the paid Sorcery Pack DLC will have a boomerang function added.

This feature will only be available for those who have purchased the Sorcery Pack, and not those who only have the main game.

I think it will be a separate coaster model though, just like the existing Return variants are. The Sorcery Pack will just have an extra coaster type.

From the Update 8 announcement video:

You will notice that on the bottom of the video, during this segment where they demonstrate the Boomerang variant, it clearly states "contains paid content".

It won't be a separate model. It will only be available if you've paid for the Sorcery Pack.

You've not read my post have you... I said "The Sorcery Pack will just have an extra coaster type". That is what I mean 😉

It can be a separate model AND be added to the existing Sorcery Pack. That is what I expect to be the case.

The snarkiness is not appreciated, especially when you are clearly wilfully misunderstanding.

This coaster type is already in the Sorcery Pack. It is the only one which has been singled out to have a return variant added in this update.

It is not a new coaster type, or model. It is an update to an existing coaster type, which shipped as part of a paid for DLC pack.

The Facebook post shared by @Matt N, which started this entirely discussion, is also very clear that the Vector Child Coaster (only available as part of the paid for Sorcery Pack DLC) is getting a return variant.

You're still not getting what I'm saying mate. By new coaster type I mean it will be separate to the existing Child Coaster, instead of the boomerang setting being added to the existing model.
