For September 2019 the new Build Challenge is to build an Inverted Coaster!
The top submissions get included in the next game update as default blueprints.

We have finished setting up the new office and are back to proper work now :)
For this month we have another patch release that mostly fixes some problems, but there's also a few nice things in there:

• added guests can be unhappy or demand park entrance fee back if they didn't have a lot of time to spend due to park closing
  
• improved performance in parks with many balloon shops
  
• improved performance when placing huge blueprints
  
• improved walls so they can be built on the park border in either rotation
• improved look of crowds slightly if many people are heading into the same direction
  
• uncursed the sadness factory (updated ferris wheel loading procedure for shorter cycle duration)
• changed experiences and price satisfaction ratings to update a bit more frequently
  
• changed it so that there is always a research team hired by default when starting a new park
  
• changed Janitors to only walk into queues if they have the task to clean paths
• fixed path tunnels not getting completely removed when removing water above an underwater path
  
• fixed an error that could occur when multiple guests where buying a product from a shop that was running out of resources at the exact same time
  
• fixed guests could leave and re-enter the park when heading somewhere under very specific circumstances
• fixed changing colors of balloons in balloon shop affecting all balloons
  

We're also working on a bigger update in parallel - more on that later!



All submissions can be found on the [url=http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=453090

We have a small bugfix update for you today that resolves the following issues:

• fixed Hydraulically-Launched Coaster being able to use more trains than intended
  
• fixed paths sometimes accidentally getting deleted
  
• fixed mechanics walking into queues
  
• fixed transport system tubes not being a bad scenery rating source
  
• fixed Knight entertainer costume being replaced by Raptor costume when loading savegame
  

Additionally there's a new experimental version available - it should work exactly the same as the default version but has some bigger changes under the hood. If you want to give it a try before we release it to everyone go into your Steam library and right-click Parkitect, then select Properties -> Betas -> select "experimental" from the dropdown.

If you encounter any issues with this experimental version please let us know :)
