We’re super excited to show you the Parkitect: Taste Of Adventure today!

It will launch next week, on November 20th.

This is a huge game update that consists of two parts: the paid Taste of Adventure expansion, adding a ton of tasty new content; and a free patch that adds a whole bunch of improvements and new features to the base game.
Here’s a trailer to show you some of the highlights:

So, what exactly is included? 

There’s a whole new campaign map for you to prove your theme park building skills in 10 challenging scenarios. Can you also beat them without pausing the game or using blueprints?

Adventure

Exciting new objects for the most intrepid adventurer!

Candyland

Welcome to the land of cotton candy and gingerbread!

River Rapids

A staple in many theme parks, but certainly the trickiest ride for us to implement!
Features customizable channel width, freely placeable bumpers, rapids and waterfalls

Safari Ride

A calm scenic ride that can be made more exciting with freely placeable bumps on the track.

Vertical Spinning Coaster

A coaster than can only be built vertically with freely spinning rows of seats.

Swinging Coaster

A Wild Mouse-type of coaster with unique cars that can swing sideways

Inverting Spinning Coaster

A spinning coaster capable of launches and inversions

Inverting Wooden Coaster

A hybrid coaster combining wooden and steel sections

Experience

A thrill ride that spins and inverts guests

Clockwork

A flat ride that looks exciting in motion but is fairly tame

Cookies, Shirts, Sub Sandwiches and Corndogs!

• Animated doors and gates

• Lava

• turntables for the Water Coaster

• elevators for the Wild Mouse, Spinning Coaster and Swinging Coaster

• customizable 3D text signs

Free update

Some of the highlights of the free portion of this update include:

• customizable water colors

• custom image signs (with modding support!). Your custom images are stored in the savegame/blueprint, so other players can see them too when downloading your shared content from the workshop! Note that custom images take up a lot of the limited storage space in blueprints though

• ride photo sections for all tracked rides

• modding support for creating custom coaster trains!

• improved staff zoning that allows overlapping zones

• all path styles can be used as queues now

• improved track builder that preselects the settings of removed track segments, making track editing faster

Half a year ago Parkitect 1.0 has been released, which seems like a milestone worthy of a small update!

Todays free update adds the following:

Knight costume for Entertainer
A fitting costume for the medieval deco theme

Photo Spots
Encourage your guests with these new path objects to marvel at your scenery and take a photo of especially beautiful places

Boat Dark Ride
A pretty high-capacity gentle water ride where guests ride in boats through nicely themed scenery. The boats have no restraints so this ride is only capable of very small drops.

Flat ride modding support
Thanks to contributions by Michael P the Parkitect Asset Editor allows modders to create completely custom flat rides now, such as this Barrel Dance ride by p.marcell

In other news, due to Garret being located in Canada and me in Germany we’re forced to work remotely which is working fine, but I had grown a bit tired of working from home every day for the past five years of Parkitect development. So over the last few months I’ve been busy with setting up a proper small office and we’ve hired a second full-time programmer.
Thanks to your support Parkitect has done really well and is continuing to do so, which allowed us to do this. We’re all set up now to continue supporting Parkitect and new projects eventually and can’t wait to pick up work at the new place in about three weeks :)
