\nWith Planet Coaster 2’s big reveal<\/a> out the way, Frontier Developments is ready to start talking specifics – and it’s now done just that in the first in a series of developer deep dives, showcasing some of the sequel’s new features in 15 minutes of first gameplay.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe big new thing in Planet Coaster 2 is , of course, water – or rather water parks, with the likes of pools, lazy rivers, and flumes. Frontier’s deep dive offered a quick walk through the basics here, noting its sparkly new pools can be carved into the earth using geometric or custom shapes, while body flumes – just like rollercoasters – can be constructed piece-by-piece. Expect to see the likes of plughole, sphere, vertical, and boomerang flume pieces, even a six-person raft flume ride, adding variety to the basic flume styles.\n<\/p>\n

\nFlumes, like any other ride, can be ridden in first-person, and also have their own excitement, nausea, and fear levels that’ll determine whether guests want to ride them. Also like other rides, they’ll work with Planet Coaster 2’s suite of new customisation options, with players able to assign them colours, pre-defined patterns, and more.\n<\/p>\n
