https://store.steampowered.com/app/1129050

This is a huge game update that consists of two parts: the paid Taste of Adventure expansion, adding a ton of tasty new content; and a free patch that adds a whole bunch of improvements and new features to the base game.
Here's a trailer to show you some of the highlights:



So, what exactly is included?

In the Taste Of Adventure expansion you'll find:


There's a whole new campaign map for you to prove your theme park building skills in 10 challenging scenarios. Can you also beat them without pausing the game or using blueprints?





Cookies, Shirts, Sub Sandwiches and Corndogs!

• Animated doors and gates

• Lava

• turntables for the Water Coaster

• elevators for the Wild Mouse, Spinning Coaster and Swinging Coaster

• customizable 3D text signs

Some of the highlights of the free portion of this update include:

• customizable water colors

• custom image signs (with modding support!). Your custom images are stored in the savegame/blueprint, so other players can see them too when downloading your shared content from the workshop! Note that custom images take up a lot of the limited storage space in blueprints though

• ride photo sections for all tracked rides

• modding support for creating custom coaster trains!

• improved staff zoning that allows overlapping zones

• all path styles can be used as queues now

• improved track builder that preselects the settings of removed track segments, making track editing faster

• free park entry/free food/free ride voucher marketing campaigns
  
• savegames/blueprints can be updated after sharing them on Steam Workshop (also works for old items that have already been uploaded to the Workshop if you subscribe to them)

This'll have to do for one post :)
There'll be more small features and improvements in the full changelog next week.
