Frontier Developments springs into action with details of the next Planet Coaster update.
The next expansion to popular coaster park sim, Planet Coaster, will roll out on April 11, 2017. The free update is a generous one too, adding three new rollercoasters, three new customisable flatrides and ‘Speed’ go-kart ride.
Planet Coaster’s Spring update follows December’s Winter expansion, which added a host of new rides, blueprints, shops and gameplay tweaks.
However, with great coasters comes great responsibility. The Spring update also adds an intriguing new ‘Crime and Security’ gameplay feature. With pickpockets and vandals moving in to cause mischief, it will be up to you to play warden and deploy security guards and use CCTV cameras to keep park guests safe.
