Classic Rides Collection now available

• Sky Temple - A unique observation platform ride that’s beautifully themed in a traditional Qin Dynasty architecture. The ride can be set at 3 spectacular heights as it gracefully ascends and descends.
  
• Rising Raptor - The Rising Raptor is one of the largest and most complex rides to appear in the game. This ride uses the all new customisable height system which allows players to tailor the ride between easy-going guests in search for impressive views or hardy thrill-seekers in need of a more intense ride experience. This ride can be built from 22 meters to an impressive 58 meters.
  
• Golden Eagle - The sister of the Rising Raptor has the suspended swinging cars of its counterpart but also offers a more thrilling outward facing gondola arrangement. The ride also utilises the new customisable height system.
  
• Free Flyer - A very popular and beautifully elegant, vintage attraction in many parks around the world. There are two operations modes offering varying intensities of ride experience from a gentle swing to an intense spin.
  
• Swift Drifters - This ride has 16 free-wheeling cars that are pulled around an oval track by a large chain. The cars are flung outwards under the centripetal force as they reach the apex of each corner, weaving along the track under their momentum as they go. The force pins the guests to their seats and creates a thrilling experience.
  
• Interdimensional - Your guests will have a unique experience on every ride of this spinning coaster. The track has a unique feature that allows you to lock and unlock the free rotation at any point and a track section that can spin the cars in the direction of your choosing.
  
• Infinite - The overhanging car carries up to eight guests per car and two cars per train and has a wide variety of lift and launch options including a regular lift hill, a vertical chain lift tower, a block sectioned chain lift dive tower, and an LSM launch system.
  
• Armada - A high capacity boat ride that has front facing seating and had been specifically designed for dark ride experiences. The Armada has a chain lift and drop sections to allow more flexibility and guest excitement and is perfect for recreating your favourite water based dark rides.
  
• Macchina Classica - Take your guests for an unforgettable day out in a beautiful vintage roadster. This car ride seats four guests and has the highest top speed of any tracked ride in Planet Coaster.
  
• Gondola - The Gondola is a new transport ride that can elevate your guests over your parks inside modern and sleek suspended cabins. Each cabin offers amazing views and carries up to 4 passengers per car.

New music

• 2 ambient music tracks suited to the Sky Temple and Gondola rides

New Free Ride

• Copperhead Strike - We have partnered up with Carowinds in the Carolinas to bring you the Copperhead Strike. This 50mph twisting, looping coaster train is beautifully themed like the original American hot-rods. It packs a real punch with its double launching track layout with an inverted top hat, two 360 loops, a corkscrew and a unique jojo roll straight out the station. The track has been faithfully recreated from its real life counterpart’s technical specifications so it’s as close as you can get to riding on the real thing!

Hello coaster friends!

Spring is in the air and that means that around the world, theme parks are re-opening for the year ahead. We can't wait to get back to our favourites and we know many of you can't either.

We are delighted to announce we have partnered up with Carowinds in North Carolina to bring you the Copperhead Strike! This 50mph twisting and looping coaster train is beautifully themed like the original American hot-rods. It packs a real punch with its double launching track layout, which boasts an inverted top hat, two 360 loops, a corkscrew, and a unique jojo roll straight out the station. The track has been faithfully recreated from its real-life counterpart’s technical specifications, so it’s as close as you can get to riding the real thing!

You can soon experience it in Planet Coaster, but if you cannot wait, then watch the amazing new trailer here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxCLDJPvUXg

The Copperhead Strike coaster will be available to all of our friends for FREE and to celebrate, Community Managers Chanté and Bo will host a livestream with Carowinds Rep Lisa Stryker on 10 April 2019, at 7PM UTC on the Planet Coaster YouTube channel. Also keep an eye on our social channels this week for some exciting giveaways such as Carowinds Park Tickets!



We are also overjoyed to announce the Classic Rides Collection, which will be arriving alongside the free 1.11 Copperhead Strike update on 16 April, 2019! Similar to our last content collection, this one will have nine new rides for you, one of which with two variations. Make sure you keep an eye on our social channels over the next few days, as we have exciting ride reveals that we cannot wait to share with you all!

Hayo coaster friends!

We're excited to announce that update 1.10.2 is now live! This update focuses on some QoL issues that we've been reviewing based on your feedback and reports over the past couple of months. We've run tests and are seeing an average 3.5x faster game loading and 2x faster game shut down, depending on the setup - players with high spec PCs should see even greater improvements. This update should also address the Toolkit problems and performance issues you've been flagging with us.

We appreciate your patience in letting us delve deep into these reports as well as your help in getting us images and hardware information that have been vital to solving them! As always, if you encounter any issues with the game, please let us know in the Bug Reports.

Thank you so much for your continued support.
