Hello coaster friends!

Spring is in the air and that means that around the world, theme parks are re-opening for the year ahead. We can't wait to get back to our favourites and we know many of you can't either.

We are delighted to announce we have partnered up with Carowinds in North Carolina to bring you the Copperhead Strike! This 50mph twisting and looping coaster train is beautifully themed like the original American hot-rods. It packs a real punch with its double launching track layout, which boasts an inverted top hat, two 360 loops, a corkscrew, and a unique jojo roll straight out the station. The track has been faithfully recreated from its real-life counterpart’s technical specifications, so it’s as close as you can get to riding the real thing!

You can soon experience it in Planet Coaster, but if you cannot wait, then watch the amazing new trailer here:

The Copperhead Strike coaster will be available to all of our friends for FREE and to celebrate, Community Managers Chanté and Bo will host a livestream with Carowinds Rep Lisa Stryker on 10 April 2019, at 7PM UTC on the Planet Coaster YouTube channel. Also keep an eye on our social channels this week for some exciting giveaways such as Carowinds Park Tickets!



We are also overjoyed to announce the Classic Rides Collection, which will be arriving alongside the free 1.11 Copperhead Strike update on 16 April, 2019! Similar to our last content collection, this one will have nine new rides for you, one of which with two variations. Make sure you keep an eye on our social channels over the next few days, as we have exciting ride reveals that we cannot wait to share with you all!

Hayo coaster friends!

We're excited to announce that update 1.10.2 is now live! This update focuses on some QoL issues that we've been reviewing based on your feedback and reports over the past couple of months. We've run tests and are seeing an average 3.5x faster game loading and 2x faster game shut down, depending on the setup - players with high spec PCs should see even greater improvements. This update should also address the Toolkit problems and performance issues you've been flagging with us.

We appreciate your patience in letting us delve deep into these reports as well as your help in getting us images and hardware information that have been vital to solving them! As always, if you encounter any issues with the game, please let us know in the Bug Reports.

Thank you so much for your continued support.
