Paths look like they're easier to use, but I'm still really hoping for a way to make plazas in any shape I want. Pretty much just the ability to have square edges or sharp corners, as well as a way of connecting two areas of path together. For instance, in that livestream they have two shops next to each other, and the paths leading to them are separated. It'd be great to be able to fill that in and just have one flat surface.
Same goes for huge plazas, having to fill in the pointless gaps with plant beds when you want to build a plaza fatter than the thickest path is getting time consuming.

Nah, in RCT3 you could get a ground view of the park through the guests eyes, but it was limited as to where they wanted to go, unless you used the car cheat. Is it the same, or is there a full you-control guest cam?
There's a free view camera mode, where you can fly around and see the park from any angle you like. If you want, you can roleplay being a guest with this camera.

I'm going to Europe over winter, so not too many parks open, but I hope to get to Port Aventura who still open on weekends in December.

There is a ridiculous amount of potential for something incredible in the space where the bridge/Sea Viper used to be as well as the land around the side of the lake.

It'd be fun to have a go in the cars in the wet. Skids for days.

Do we think that framework is for theming or for the ride?

Cruise ships often have small morgues because it's a pretty regular occurrence for seniors to spend their last days at sea. Not a bad way to go if you ask me.

Wow, seems there's as much drama on cruises as there is on YouTube at the moment.
Word on my cruise was that an altercation was overheard in a room by the people next door, they called security and they opened the door to see a man strangling his wife. They locked him in his room for 3 days with security standing out the front of his door before our next port, then they dumped him in Vanuatu. Hopefully the end of an abusive relationship right there.
Also, some chick decided it'd be a good idea to climb over the railing and stand on the outside just for a laugh, it actually set off alarms before she was even half over, and people came running down from the bridge. It was pretty funny to watch, the cruise staff were furious and she absolutely shat herself.

Big differences between the two.
Yeah, all my illegal street races have had multiple corners involved

I was dragged onto a cruise not knowing what to expect of it. Ended up being fantastic.
It was with Royal Caribbean on Radiance. My dad set me up with the unlimited drinks package so I went a bit wild. Great to be able to shout random people drinks as well, everyone wants to be your friend when you have unlimited drinks.
The staff absolutely blew my mind, and the performers at shows were pretty good as well. I remember Simon Palomares did a couple of shows and he made jokes about how when you get home from a cruise you freak out because there's no longer a Filipino to come and do your washing up or make your bed.
I was expecting to just stick with the family all cruise, but you end up seeing the same people over and over again and eventually I was spending more time with them than not. I'm still in contact with a few of them and have met up post-cruise. I also became pretty good friends with the piano man (who was incredible btw) who'd play every night from about 7pm-midnight, he even let me play the piano and sing in front of the live crowd myself, it was a pretty cool experience.
Only downside was I got a bit sick of the food. Don't get me wrong, it was great, but it was the same shit every day (apart from dinner), and after 2 weeks of eating buffet breakfast and lunch with a 3 course dinner, someone like me who really doesn't eat that much usually was feeling a bit nauseous, I had to skip dessert quite a few times.
As for people complaining about the rambling crowd, I'm probably not the best to comment on this because I was probably amongst them lol.

I'm not much of a gamer.....but I have to admit Planet Coaster is looking incredible. I'm actually blown away with the level of customisation and themeing detail you can produce with the limited building pieces available in the alpha. I'm even super impressed with the coaster building system, which the developers stress is far from finished!! You can get very smooth and realistic coaster designs; far superior to RCT3, and very close to the level of detail you can acheive with No Limits. I think you might be right about GOTY @reanimated35. Check this out:
I've followed Silvarret for ages. Usually, in RCT3, he works with colossal amounts of custom scenery, but watching this series, it's absolutely mind boggling what he can do with the limited amount of stuff available in the PC alpha.

Soooooo much hype. I wasn't planning to pick up the alpha but after watching about 3 hours' worth of gameplay videos I am feeling my hand moving reflexively towards my wallet.

Pretty much the stupidest, most pointless and most frustrating game ever made. Send the basketball emoji on the messenger app, then tap it to get into the game.
What's everyone's highest scores? I'm in 3 group chats and have the highest score in all of them. 29, 32, and 33.

Favourites:
SE - Best coaster in the country
WWF - Just a great ride. The surprise backwards drop, the theming, the 20m drop at the end. I ride it as many times as I ride SE every time I'm at MW. It turned me from a coaster fanboy to someone who appreciates
The Claw - It's a thrilling ride, yet it's really relaxing in a way that's hard to describe. I don't get that feeling like I do on something like buzzsaw where I'm forced to grab onto my restraint for dear life.
Pleasantly surprised:
Jet Rescue: after riding Mick Doohan I had low expectations of this one. After watching it a few times I was happy with how fast it seemed off ride, and certainly after riding it I was happy
Storm Coaster: Again, didn't look much into this ride on here before riding it, and was surprised by the theming inside the building, but also outside. Also, the ride was fun as well, very well designed ride layout and it's no surprise they're successful around the world.
Mildly disappointed:
Justice League - I don't think I fit the target demographic for this ride at all. I got off it and wondered why I waited 30 minutes in line to ride it when I could have just ridden WWF twice in a row.
Cyclone - I remember loving this ride when i was 11 or so, but I went back a few years later and it was nothing like I remembered. I still give it a ride every time I go up because I need my coaster fix, but in general it's just a pretty bad layout. The drop could be steeper. The inversions are worth giving it a ride though.
Just WTF

Just to update, here's some on-ride footage I shot recently. I'm still writing up my thoughts about the ride, I think overall it's a nice update. I quite like the Brock's Garage part. Good stuff there. The new train is nice, but Freestylers? Really? That's the song you want to pick for hundreds of thousands of potential riders to hear in the future?
Note: Just before @AlexB chimes in (hah), i'm aware of the overall averageness of this POV.
You were right about the wind noise

I would love to see something like this, which is a POV of one of the coasters Richard mentioned in his article.
Makes you wonder why they even bothered with the microphone.

Yes, 99.9% of the new rides at MW are DC, but DC sells.
Frankly, I don't really care what the new attractions will be themed to, but more the quality of the theming and the rides.
I'd be happy with a Hello Kitty expansion if it was full of world class attractions. -
WWF effects overhaul gets me excited. It's the best themed ride in the country and deserves a bit of a refurb.
Really hoping the admittedly lame explosion on the bridge is re-thought, as well as more stuff added in dodge city.As for the new 'thrill ride', the high capacity part gets a big thumbs up from me.

That drop was talked about for weeks after I visited as a 5 year old! I used to love the Looney Tunes River Ride. It was perfect for the park.
Maybe not the best Dark Ride in Australia but by far one of the best placed and themed in the context of the park. Didn’t it have the same kind of premise of Gremlins of a Studio Tour that turns into an “unexpected” ride.
I didn't want to bash LTRR because it was a great ride, I was basically raised by looney tunes, I watched the re-runs on Boomerang until I was way 'too old' for them. Seeing the looney tunes characters in person was excellent, but even as a kid, the drop never stuck out, maybe it's because I rode WWF on the same day.
Even though it's not a 'dark' ride, WWF is easily my favourite ride in the country after Superman, which has surprised me considering my love for parks came through creating themeless car park coasters in RCT and NoLimits. Kinda saddening that they haven't kept all the theming in tip-top shape.
Another 'wish I could call it a dark ride just to make a point' ride that I love is the Storm coaster. I rode it without researching the theming too much beforehand and it surprised me quite a bit. Also, the force dispersion during the coaster bit is absolutely perfect, not a jolty lateral force in to be felt. A top notch ride on all accounts.SDSC is probably close enough to being a dark ride that I will say it's my favourite dark ride in the country. I've ridden JL once and I just didn't like it at all. It's a shame because I knew of (and could see) all the money that went into the ride system and the theming, but it just didn't appeal to me. I'd even use the word 'lame', this not only coming from a guy who loves parks and should know better than to call such a great attraction 'lame', but a guy who watched nothing but Boomerang until he was 12 years old, and continues to play RCT at 19.
I'm definitely not the target market for that ride though.

I can see why no employees told them to get down, and also why there's no signs saying don't stand on them. Not really that dangerous at all. Similar chance of falling off that as there is falling off the kerb of the street around it or down the steps. Just don't fall over, it's your own fault.
