Alpha 2 has been released today!

Gamescom is on and Frontier are revealing a lot of new info about the game including some of the park management aspects and things like coaster testing: https://youtu.be/TNXC-pSC1Og

I highly recommend checking out Planet Coaster's YouTube channel here. There are loads of videos from Gamescom 2016, including short videos highlighting new features, rides and coasters.

Things to note: RMC T-Rex track, Arrow 4D Coaster, Gerstlauer Sky Fly, Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter, Intamin Gyro-Swing, Priority pass (Fasttrack) queues, and what I think is a take on the new style Intamin Wing Coasters, and ABC rides Tourbillon.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you...

COASTER CRASHES!

Just saw that, not really a feature I care about but that video is so well done

Beta drops tomorrow. I've got the thrill-seeker edition so will get access. Anyone as excited as I am.

I can't wait, been playing since the first alpha so I can't wait to see the game in it's full glory after all this time! I don't know if I can wait much longer!

Same here. Get to grips with it first then try and start an attempt at an Alton Towers recreation once I have confidence with it.

Remember how I said k was really excited to play it and I can't wait? My (newish) computer konked out... Really hope its a one off and it still works

Frontier has release a new video showing off lighting and animatronic sequencing with a ride

Playing the beta and downloading some of the user created parks. They are insane. If anyone wants to add me on steam and share some content my steam name is wortho88.

My 1 year old computer can't run planet coaster

Really I'm running a core i5 6400 8gb ram and gtx 960 on high very smoothly

That's weird. My 3 year old one is able to run it. Not on high specs, but enough that it's not frustrating to play really.

The official launch trailer has been released today; all done using in-game footage!

Watch it here!

Saw the trailer. A lot of user parks in it from silvarret and others. Blue fire and Baron recreations as well.

Guys.

WE HAVE FIREWORKS!

I like the sound of the new Coasters and Billboards. They really are being incredible pumping out these updates so quickly!

Just give me Spooky scenery, Mack Megacoasters, waterparks, hotels, more custom trains, mod support, switch tracks and allowing trains to roll back after chainlift/LSM launch, then I'm set for life!

When questioned about waterparks the Planet Coaster team seemed to be unsure on weather to answer the question, leaving it on "we aren't confining or denying it" and that if it were to happen it'd likely be a paid expansion, in similar vein to Soaked! for RCT3.
