Dazzle your guests and leave them spellbound in an aura of movie magic with the all-new Planet Coaster Studios Pack! Working behind the scenes, put on a show like no other and they'll be talking about your "talkies" for decades to come! Lights... camera... ACTION!
On [B]March 27, 2018[/B] we are releasing the action-packed Studios Pack for you to get creative with; our newest paid content pack is specifically catered for those who want to bring that glitzy Hollywood glamour to their park. With new props, stunts, animatronics and special effects to boot, you'll be able to breathe new life into those park centerpieces. The content pack contains three new rides: the Big Screen Tour; electrically powered tour buses that can be used as a transport or tracked ride. Re-Motion; an electrically-powered tracked ride with an adjustable robotic arm holding the seats, four points of articulation allow the seats to be moved freely in all directions! And finally, the Horror Heights; scream in terror in this classic multi-drop tower!
Set the stage and thrill your guests with new static and animated building attachments, props, vehicles, character animatronics and placeable special effects. With impressive stuntmen & women, stunt fall boxes, stunt fall dumpsters and even breaking windows, you'll be able to use to put your guests right in the middle of the action.
And, don't forget about what goes on behind the stage: new wall set, construction props and metropolis wall tiles together with Planet Coaster’s existing themes will allow you to build those far-from-glamourous... but essential backlots.
In addition to the paid content, we are releasing a small free update to all players which includes: hotels; to keep your guests sticking around for longer; eagerly awaited path tunnelling, allowing you to place a path-shaped holes in terrain; as well as triggerable flexi-colour on objects; and triggerable time of day in the ride camera - night becomes day in a flash!
The Planet Coaster Studios Pack is completely optional for you to purchase – you can get it from Steam or the Frontier Store for £7.99 ($10.99, €10.99). Please note that you need to have the Planet Coaster base game in order to download and play this extra content.
Are you ready to be in movies, kid?!

https://youtu.be/8PBgnYnMdgI
There’s so many awesome new things for you to uncover: we’ve got three new rides, two new hats for your avatars, a new heroine called Renee Feu, and over 320 scenery items including animated items, special effects, scenery items and path extras! There’s also over 70 building pieces including wall pieces, temple blocks, and gold pieces. As if that’s not enough, there’s loads of animatronics like crocodiles, scorpions, and mummies, 40 jungle-themed foliage pieces, special effects like lava panels and waterfalls, statues, and new audio!

[B]Update Notes[/B]
[LIST]
<*>[B]Gold Fever[/B] - A family ride that’s themed around the gold mine carts used to plunder the rich mountains of South America. The cars' theme is ideal for creating a coaster that rushes through underground caves and tombs, dodging perilous traps, mummies and lava pits! The coaster's unique feature is its upright swinging car which pivots from a frame mounted to car chassis, this allows the car to swing side to side as it races round the track
<*>[B]Island Adventure[/B] - Inspired by the old steamers used to explore the rivers in newly discovered lands in the 1930s. The Boat is a high capacity, water based transport ride that is totally unique as it’s designed to work on large bodies of water and to create water channels as you tunnel your way through the landscape. It is perfect for transport but also doubles up as an amazing tour boat or dark ride. The boats are meticulously detailed and each craft has their own unique captain
<*>[B]Land Ahoy[/B] - The little sister of Island Adventure but with the added benefit of not requiring a body of water to be built on as it has its very own custom channel that can be built above the ground or even sunk into the ground to create a man made channel
<*>[B]Crocodile Hat[/B] - for avatars and can be sold in the Hats Fantastic shop
<*>[B]Rock Hat[/B] - for avatars and can be sold in the Hats Fantastic shop
<*>[B]Renee Feu [/B]- the adventuring heroine
<*>[B]75 building items[/B] - with 23 gold variants
<*>[B]323 scenery items[/B] - with 56 gold variants. Also including path extras, 40 foliage items, 46 statue items and 33 animatronic objects for a total of 77 different animations
<*>[B]18 scenery blueprints[/B]
<*>[B]A host of new audio [/B]- including 6 music tracks, 27 placeable ambiences and 33 triggerable SFX including ‘Tour Guide’ Voiceover intended for the Boat Rides
