“Sculpt the theme park of your dreams and dive into the exciting world of combined water and coaster parks in Planet Coaster 2,” Frontier Developments says. “Build incredible water rides, glistening swimming pools, towering rollercoasters, and more as you ensure your guests get soaked in fun!”

With tools at your fingertips to create brand-new rides as well as old favorites, updated path building, the introduction of plazas, and more, Planet Coaster 2 is set to build on the awesome management gameplay found in its predecessor. We’ll also get tools for piece-by-piece construction, which Frontier says “lets you build anything you can imagine, from a beach-themed splash zone to a tropical paradise with lazy rivers.”

As for the management screen, it appears we’re getting a similar style to Planet Zoo, which will include a heat map to highlight issues within the park, such as cleanliness, fun, and guest safety. The screen is said to “let us Focus on fixing, maintaining and replacing old rides, whilst ensuring your guests experience the best comfort in the sun with sunscreen and shade, and in the rain, with wide open umbrellas!”

What’s more, Planet Coaster 2 will include a Franchise Mode for sharing your park with the world — or to compete with your pals! You and your friends will be able to build parks in the Sandbox and Franchise modes, and “experience walking around in our new first-person point of view — you’ll feel like you’re truly there!”
