• 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.

• 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.
