1.8q2 Update

This months update contains the following changes:

  • made menu bars scrollable if they don't fully fit on the screen
  • fixed odd intensity ratings of the Vertical Spinning Coaster. As a result, intensity ratings for most Vertical Spinning Coasters will most likely be somewhat lower than before


Version 1.8q3:
  • fixed bulldozer tool mode selection buttons not working after last update
  • fixed generating new scenario terrain not working after last update


September 2023 Build Challenge


Since there's so many ride types available we'll give everyone a bit more time and extend Augusts Thrill Ride Challenge to this month.
Keep in mind that the top submissions for each ride type get included in the next game update as default blueprints - so you can increase your chances of getting included by picking a ride type that doesn't have as many submissions yet.
For example, currently there are lots of great entries for the Swinging Ship or Top Spin, but the following rides have a lower number of submissions so far:
  • Topple Tower
  • Top Scan
  • Star Flyer
  • Turbine
  • Star Shape

1.8q Update / August Build Challenge

This months update contains the following changes:

  • added new scenario goals: Shop count, Calm Rides count, Thrill Rides count
  • added displaying refunded amount in advance when using bulldozer tool
