by Rainier on April 11, 2017 @ 10:01 a.m. PDT

Planet Coaster will be the new destination for everyone who cares about creative gaming, coaster parks and involving management sims.

Planet Coaster will offer the best-ever ways to express your creativity, total freedom to make your park unique, sophisticated park management gameplay, expressive and charming crowds, and a new connected global village where players can share their creations with the Planet Coaster community.

Be inspired and inspire others as you create, manage and share the world’s greatest coaster parks with friends and content creators around the world.

It’s the most sophisticated park simulation in gaming history, and you’re the boss!

Each guest is an expressive individual who thinks, feels and explores your parks with their own interests, desires and cash in their pocket. They even have their own language.

The colourful characters react in an instant as you control every aspect of your parks, and together they tell you at a glance just how well you’re doing as you build your coaster empire.

Test your park management skills; use your business acumen to survive and thrive in 'Challenge mode', complete scenarios to build your reputation as you rise through the ranks in 'Career mode' or simply create beautiful parks with unlimited resources in 'Sandbox mode'.

You’re the creator in a world full of fun, excitement and celebration!

Spring has sprung! The sun is shining, birds are singing and Planet Coaster is celebrating the new season with three new rollercoasters, three new fully-customizable flatrides and the unique ‘Speed’ go-kart ride to thrill and delight your park guests.

Planet Coaster’s Spring Update is Planet Coaster’s second major expansion following December’s Winter Update, offering huge new creative opportunities for Planet Coaster players. Today Steam’s Planet Coaster Workshop is home to almost 100,000 community creations, and April’s Spring Update will open the door to even more variety and creativity.

But a new danger lurks in the world of Planet Coaster, with pickpockets and vandals now operating in players’ parks. A crime-ridden park will see guests’ happiness fall along with your profits, but security guards and CCTV cameras are on hand to keep park guests safe and prevent mischief-makers from spoiling the fun.    

The Planet Coaster Spring Update includes:  

New Rollercoasters

  • Steel Hydra. Feel the G-force aboard Planet Coaster’s first suspended swinging coaster.
  • Trident. Go there and back again with the first of Planet Coaster’s two new shuttle coasters.
  • Bakasura. Trident’s bigger, badder brother is a thrilling inverted boomerang coaster.

New Tracked Ride

  • Speed’ Go Karts. Design your own karting tracks using Planet Coaster’s powerful track editor and see your guests put pedal to the metal! Who will win and who will spin?

New Flatrides

  • Elixir Machine. 360 degrees of spinning, swinging, twisting, upside-down insanity.
  • Big Wheel. An iconic favorite from the golden age of theme parks.
  • ZoZo. The long-armed ZoZo is another addition to Planet Coaster’s lineup of vintage classics.

New Feature

  • Crime and security. Dissatisfied guests may vandalize park scenery, and pickpockets will infiltrate your park to steal other guests’ cash. Keep your law-abiding guests safe with security staff and CCTV cameras.
The new Planet Coaster Spring Update is now available to all Planet Coaster players for FREE.

Planet Coaster’s piece-by-piece construction philosophy builds on Frontier’s unrivalled expertise in the genre. It’s easy to pick-up, yet rewards you with limitless creativity and uniquely beautiful results.
