Frontier Developments released a new DLC and a free update this week for Planet Coaster 2, as the Thrill-Seekers Ride Pack is now available. First, the free update, which they're just calling Update 1, brings with it a ton of enhancements and improvements to the game, especially when it comes to "bounce movement" with the park attendees. Meanwhile, the DLC (which will run you $10) focuses on adding five new rides that all come with a bit of thrill to them but will also cost you extra in the process. We have notes and videos for both here, as the content is now live.

Planet Coaster 2 – Update 1

Update 1 brings changes and improvements to the appearance and movement of guests as they enjoy your flumes, introducing more natural and varied movement for guests. In this update you'll notice that guests will now have a more natural oscillation as they make their way down flumes or slides, while inflatables will also have a more dynamic sense of motion. We've also added more movement, including increasing the amount of spin that rafts can have, as well as boosting the swing of guests, rafts, and mats, i.e. more movement up the sides of flumes. A 'bounce' movement has also been added, meaning that guests, and their rafts and mats, can now hit and bounce off the sides of the flumes and slides, which in turn can add further spin to their animations. Update 1 also introduces the ability to allow multiple guests onto a flume at the same time, which can be easily controlled by configuring the Minimum Interval between guests in the flume settings.
