Guests gained the ability to puke into trash bins. This can help with keeping cleanliness ratings under control in difficult areas, but since the bins need to be emptied eventually it can still keep the Janitors pretty busy… maybe even busier than before if the next trash dump is far away!

Guests will also have a negative thought now and lose some immersion when seeing an employee resting at a bench. Don’t forget to build staff rooms!

And we’re back to doing polish + campaign work once again. Campaign testing is at 75% complete now.

Shops and ride entrances received tunnel frames if needed, so building them into vertical terrain works as you’d expect now:

Beta 8 is now available for download! The full change log is at the end of this post.

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.
