Beta 8 is now available for download! The full change log is at the end of this post.
Devlog
We got two new rides this month:
The Hyper Coaster is a high-capacity coaster capable of 60m+ drops. It can’t invert, so it’s all about speed and airtime!
The Plane Carousel is a nice calm ride that slowly spins around a central axis like a carousel, but guests have control over the up/down movement of the planes.
