the first beta will start on the 9th of November for people who have the Thrillseeker Edition 

...to be clear, the Beta will start for anyone who's pre-bought, be it Early Bird or Thrillseeker. The full game goes live just one week later.

Beta November 9!

Full Release November 17! (I've got the 18th off work, as the 17th is in the UK).

 

The updates are coming thick and fast now. Keep an eye on their Twitter/Facebook/YouTube accounts, including Community Managers Bo Marit and Ed Lewis. Conformed in the last week or so:

• Mine Train
• Name Rides/Attractions
• Height markers for coasters
• RGB colour picker
• Day/Night switch
• Wooden Track elements (Woodies coming too!)
• 2000 object Blueprints
• Mechanics
• New mascot - Ellie, a Western Cowgirl
• Western Themed assets
• Sci Fi theme
• Soundtrack for anyone who's an Early Bird/Thrillseeker. (One Track already available)

Can't wait til this game. I definitely enjoy playing the alphas already released, but I agree that the game play feels a bit lacking and soulless. Hoping the beta/full release is different in that department!

I've missed a lot of the news because my pc is very bad and can't run planet coaster all that well, does anyone know anything about lift chain hill and brake speed editing like in RCT3

Yes to both of those. Although I'm not a huge fan of the UI for the segment editing.

6am AEDST, 5am AEST tomorrow: Big live stream for new content.

 

I'm off to bed so I can get up for it.

Revealed this morning:

- Two Woodies (Traditional and Hybrid).

- Two Water rides (Rapids and Flume).

- Customise ride sequences (like what MW can do with Doomsday).

- Add music to rides and speakers throughout the park.

- Track rides (powered cars).

- Triggered events on rides (Audio, lights, effects, ANYTHING ANIMATED in-game).

- Dark Ride (underground).

 

 

Does anyone know when the beta will LAUNCH Australian time?

0300 Thursday, 10 November

The popular Planet Coaster "Let's Play" YouTubers were given access to it already, look at the vids already on YouTube.

Turns out that you have to redeem and download the beta separately, the alpha doesn't automatically upgrade to beta, so you can have them both installed at the same time. Fortunately it's only a 5gb download so only takes <10 minutes or so, but that's 10 minutes I could have been playing PC! 

10 minutes? You on NBN?

I'm sitting here making sacrifices to any deity I can google in the hope it downloads faster!

Sadly no. I did however manage to convince optus to connect only my unit to cable internet instead of ADSL  

Come on, only 700meg to go!

 

 

can't wait for this with the same guys who did rct 3 you know it's going to be epic. way better than that buggy POS mess rct world..

Only took me around 35-40 minutes on ADSL2 so it isn't that long to wait to download it.

Dammit just got home...  Looks like 20 mins dl time for me but starting early in morning...  Trying to decide exactly how much sleep I really need...

I had <5 hours last night. You can do it! I don't go back to work til monday though so I don't need sleep. 

Well only took 10 mins to dl so I guess I can spend a little time this evening...  And we now all know how this will end  

^ i did that last night with civ VI...all of a sudden i looked at the clock and it was 2:30 am

Until recently I was on ADSL that would take 5 hours to download 5GB. Thankfully I'm on cable now and I have speeds literally 50 times faster. However, like a humble rap star, I'll never get cocky, I'll never forget my roots.

100 millibits per second? That's pretty damn slow.

post a speedtest than
