That’s just nuts…
That kind of thing is impressive to me in the same way Minecraft uber-builds are cool. A ton of planning, trial and error, labor, and creativity went into making something that intricate and cool. At the same time, when I watch it, I can’t help but think “Yeah, but that person obviously didn’t make that with the financial sim running. That’s open book sandbox mode.” Like those Minecraft builds of the USS Enterprise or King’s Landing, I appreciate the work, but it also reminds me that the game itself is less engaging (to me) than the creative tools.
Hey, new update!

Today’s update brings with it a number of changes such as new coaster supports and light sequencing, as well as some key bug fixes, language support, and a cool new flat ride![/quote]
OMG , I sure did love that ride when the carnival came to my small town.
I’d ride that thing 4-5 times in a row if there was no one else in line. They just let anyone who wanted to stay on, go again. :D
Or if you on it with a girl you really liked and she’d get squished up against you. :)
Spring Update coming on April 11th. Free for everyone.

I don’t own the game, but since the update is free for everyone, I can’t wait to dig into it.
Good luck on getting that free update to work!
Wow that sounds AWESOME! I hope they’re packing in some engine performance updates too.
Update is live, info is here:
I am very impressed by the amount of free content they put in these updates.
Nice to see security and crime added, now if we could only get lawn maintenance.
I just bought this and this security thing is nuts. I am playing my very first game the beginner pirate battle scenario and its constantly telling me that crime is very high and to do something about security. I have like 7 security guards and its still complaining. What am I supposed to do? Have 1 guard to every guest?
Also I have a bathroom that people are using and its also constantly complaining that its not accessable from the park entrance. Any ideas?
This sounds familiar. Check the building, it might have an entrance/exit on both sides. You need to connect your path to both sides if it does.
I had the same problem. Noting what @Gordon_Bleu mentioned, in my case it was a two sided bathroom. I was looking at it as a horizontal bathroom with one entrance/exit. Instead, it was more of a vertical looking bathroom, with entrance on one side and exit on the other. Here’s hoping they’ve added a few more bathroom designs?
Try up-skilling a couple of your security guards, but 7 seems overkill. Also try adding some security Cameras around areas where there’s lots of crowds.
I have this but have never played it, about to start, any good simple tutorials for the beginner idiots :)
Fireworks and video signage coming in a free update:
Fireworks can be “sequenced” with rides or music by players. The video signs can play user-made video files, or use stock ones. Expect porn in my theme park soon.
- 5 New coasters
- 3 new flat rides
- “Stars & Stripes” scenery set
- New scenario
I saw it was posted over on nGAF, that the new update also allows you to color (ahem I mean paint) your wooden roller coaster supports. Which was a highly requested feature!
Was at Disney last week - and pulled the trigger on this before the end of the Steam summer sale. I just couldn’t hold back, walking through Disney and thinking of creating my own park. Can’t wait to fire it up!
