Planet Coaster’s Free Winter Update Brings Festive Cheer

/ Updates / , , , , , , , , /

Players of Frontier Development’s roller coaster simulation game Planet Coaster are receiving an early Christmas present thanks to its free winter update.

Planet Coaster first came out in mid-November this year. Primarily a sandbox management style game, it lets players build a theme park to serve virtual patrons, offering safe rides and tempting attractions – or the complete opposite.

The update includes new rides, shops, management improvements, fresh coaster blueprints, and a winter theme:

New Rides

  • Collider! The winner of our community poll with 41.57% of the votes – a retro sci-fi ride with 20 swinging gondolas on a horizontal Ferris Wheel that rises to an angle of 87 degrees.
  • Bumpin Derby; a long-time favourite has found its way into Planet Coaster! Give a fist bump to these bonkers bumper cars!

New Shops

  • Cosmic Cow Ice Cream; get some actual snow cones!
  • Gulpee Soda; joining the Gulpee family!
  • Missy Good; donut worry, be happy! Missy Good’s sugary goodness will cheer you right up!
  • Pipshot; a healthy alternative to the fast food goodness – and there’s three of them! Pipshot Water, Pipshot Juice, and Pipshot Smoothie are going to blow your guests’ minds.
  • Pizza Pen; get it while it’s hot and cheesy!

New Coaster Blueprints

  • Screamer (the American Arrow)
  • Lycanthrope (Werewolf)
  • The Hunt (Pioneer)
  • Frenzy (Rage)
  • Trailer Blazer (Aethon)

Planet Coaster is now available on Steam for $44.99 USD for PC and Mac.
