It was a dreary, dark day in September. Planet Coaster players from around the world gathered in front of the broken rusty gate. It was drizzling slightly, and the midnight air was turning people’s breath to icy clouds. An owl hooted in the distance.

If you listened closely, you could hear the wooden slats creaking from afar, sending chills down your spine. One first-floor window was dimly lit, indicating the ghostly presence looming within... It was said to be the spirit of the deceased owner, summoned by ancient forces and stuck forever in the old mansion.
But today, the Planet Coaster players have come to break the curse – let’s hope they have what it takes...
