Planet Coaster 2 may have endured some ups and downs when it launched back in October, but Frontier Developments' post-release support for its theme-park building sequel has been as steady as a lazy river. January brought improved flume simulation to the sequel's all-new waterslides, while February added video billboards players can create their own custom adverts for. Now, Frontier has unveiled its roadmap for the next few updates landing over the spring, and there are some substantial new features being added to the management sim in the coming months.
The most imminent update, which lands later this month, adds even more flexibility to flume construction. Update 3 increases the variety of movement of guests and rafts on special flume pieces, improves the appearance of guests jettisoning off flumes, and adds "inflatable deformation", so rafts will bend and squash in a believable manner as they whizz around a slide. On top of this, it also adds "round-bottomed flumes", a phrase which instantly caused a certain, similarly-named Queen song to start playing in my head, like activating a sleeper agent obsessed with seventies glam rock.
