I highly recommend checking out Planet Coaster's YouTube channel here. There are loads of videos from Gamescom 2016, including short videos highlighting new features, rides and coasters.

Things to note: RMC T-Rex track, Arrow 4D Coaster, Gerstlauer Sky Fly, Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter, Intamin Gyro-Swing, Priority pass (Fasttrack) queues, and what I think is a take on the new style Intamin Wing Coasters, and ABC rides Tourbillon.

Same here. Get to grips with it first then try and start an attempt at an Alton Towers recreation once I have confidence with it.

Playing the beta and downloading some of the user created parks. They are insane. If anyone wants to add me on steam and share some content my steam name is wortho88.

That's weird. My 3 year old one is able to run it. Not on high specs, but enough that it's not frustrating to play really. :)

I like the sound of the new Coasters and Billboards. They really are being incredible pumping out these updates so quickly!

Just give me Spooky scenery, Mack Megacoasters, waterparks, hotels, more custom trains, mod support, switch tracks and allowing trains to roll back after chainlift/LSM launch, then I'm set for life!

When questioned about waterparks the Planet Coaster team seemed to be unsure on weather to answer the question, leaving it on "we aren't confining or denying it" and that if it were to happen it'd likely be a paid expansion, in similar vein to Soaked! for RCT3.
