The park is the work of SpecterCody, and you can download all its domes, facilities, and other contraptions individually from their Steam Workshop page. And what better way of thematising this than by building a Mars Colony filled with domes that ostensibly protect your eyes from popping out of your skull like a la Total Recall Arnie. I enjoy working within a framework like this and seeing what I can cram into it. The perfect remedy for those who get all agoraphobic at the prospect of building a theme park on a vast, plain expanse of land.
The coaster is large but compact, elegantly weaving in on itself before going indoors through a warehouse of honey-coloured smoke and big metal whiskey casks. I love the level of detail on this ride, which would be a great fit for a western-themed park (or, better still, a park set amidst the haunted derelict remains of Old West boomtowns - can someone make that please?). These places are actual food outlets in-game rather than just props, though I still find it uncanny that park visitors can't actually sit down with their food, and are consigned to eat-walking while being conveyor-belted around your park little wonder that chronic vomit outbreaks are an issue in Planet Coaster when no one’s allowed to sit and let their food settle properly. Taitjames has created sleek, accurate takes on 14 of the most recognisable food brands in the world - including McDonald's (modern and traditional variants), 7-Eleven, Domino's and the 'healthy option', Subway. But whatever - fast food brands rule the world and plonking some of the most famous ones into my park infuses it with a weirdly comforting sense of realism (which is probably a sign that I’m a brainwashed big-brand puppet). If you were swept away to a faraway place by the Story Land trailer, then this entry may be a bit of a jarring return to our neocapitalist world. It apparently took over 100 hours to build, and you can also download some of the bits used to make it from Coastercad's Workshop page. Story Land is the work of the incredibly talented Coastercad.
But throw in some majestic fantasy music with a park that appears to have been plucked from Cinderella's childhood dreams - prior to her becoming a mutilated vengeful harpy as per the Brothers Grimm tale - and something in my soul stirs. Oh, and this mountain sculpted into a giant Yoda with a roller coaster shooting out of his palm made me smile.Īside from when I wistfully watch videos of the now-abandoned American Adventure Theme Park I used to frequent as a kid (in hindsight it probably wasn't very good), I don't usually get moved to tears by theme parks. If that's not enough to satiate you Star Warriors (that’s what you call yourselves, right?), then its creator MuFuTee has also created several other spaceships and bits & bobs from the far-flung galaxy.
Even if you’re not a fan of the movies, you’ve got to admire the design of this formidable rollerball of a ride. I liked it, largely for the fact that these three movies account for about 10% of all pop culture in the world, making them quite possibly the best value-for-culture you can get in seven or so hours.įor example, I now know what a Death Star is, and how unspeakably awesome it must be for Star Wars fans to see it in roller coaster form. I only watched the original Star Wars trilogy for the first time last year. You can navitate by clicking the arrows or pressing the arrow buttons on your keyboard. Here's a bunch of my favourite community-made rides, rollercoasters, and other tidbits that I found while perusing the Steam Workshop.

So I've left it to the lively Planet Coaster creators' community to get on with the creative malarkey, while I sit in my cigar-stenched park office - summer sun trickling between the venetian blinds, the sound of kids' laughter muffled by the triple-glazed windows - and search for the creations that'll pull the punters in through the gates of my park.
I get creative paralysis when I have nothing but a plain green field to 'Build Something Beautiful' on, and develop an inferiority complex when in the campaign I see how great the pre-built bits of park look next to my comparatively bland creations. But if you don't have the architectural vision of Gaudi (who never actually designed a theme park, but really should've), or if - like me - you tell yourself that you could build the next Disney World but just don't have the time, then Planet Coaster can feel a bit intimidating. Planet Coaster is, by many accounts, the greatest theme park sim ever.
