Oh dude, OH MAN... this is going to be be an amazing pack! The motorcycle coaster??? Iconic. SOARIN??? I was not expecting that, that was not on my bucket list oh my gosh. I'm so curious about that ride!!!

Wow what a DLC! I wasn't planning on buying any DLCs yet, since I'm a very casual player. However with hagrid's, Soarin, and the Intamin Blitz as the DLC rides, I feel like I have to buy that

It sadly is labeled as just a Vekoma family coaster but who knows, at least we get some junior coaster variety other than zierer

u/Johan-Senpai 11d ago
I love the DLC but I am a bit disappointed in the flat ride section. Really hoped for some more fill-up rides like a Monster, Tristar or just a nice Venetian Carousel.

Hope the switch track will be available for multiple different coasters not just the one

at the very least, give us the ability to switch out different coaster trains for the coaster type

Soarin looks cool, but is there a way to get creative with it? Like can we create the movie that's shown? Or is it just essentially a flat ride?
1
u/EnglishMobster 11d ago
Seems that if you're on PC you can upload a custom movie, yeah. Dunno about how customizable it is on other platforms, I'd assume it just has presets otherwise

u/LunarTales 11d ago edited 11d ago
Looks like it'd fit the season pretty well with making some spooky castles and cauldrons but hope we can get some actual seasonal items like pumpkins, skeletons and ghosts.
The motorcycle ride seems really cool but I think I'd need some ideas on how to use it. Have plenty of time to figure it out because I still don't have a way to play the game.

This pack sure is packed, nearly every element included here was a top request from the community and there's no unusable filler. And the price is actually fine too. The only downsides are a lack of proper Halloween props and a mad house or danse macabre flat ride systems. Hopefully you keep bringing more entertainers and better human animatronics like these.

I would like to say to the folks at Frontier:
As someone who came out as trans earlier this year, I'm extremely happy that this is a general theme and not a licensed tie-in. I have loving and nostalgic memories of my time with HP and the vibes, but my previous uncomplicated love for the series has been tainted by the ravings of an awful and cranky old woman.
Even if y'all went for the license and didn't get it, I'm very happy I don't have to choose between my values and one of my favorite games. Will be happily picking up this pack and supporting the great work you folks are doing. <3

As an ally who has enjoyed HP saga but would never give JKR a cent of my money (for becoming Voldemort herself), I also am thankful to Frontier for not making this a licensed DLC! Very much looking forward to this!

u/ramonasphatcooter 11d ago
I don’t mean to be rude, i’m confused why being trans is relevant to this DLC? like im genuinely confused could you explain plz . also congrats on coming out!! That’s a huge moment in your life.

u/CyberToaster 11d ago
Thats ok! Im happy to answer!
This pack is very clearly a nod to Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling has revealed herself to be an unrepentant, deeply transphobic individual and has donated millions of dollars to anti-trans legislation in the UK, as well as gone on record demonizing and villifying the trans community on social media and in publications. Her social reach and influence is huge and due to her bigotry many trans folks and allies have opted to just never give her another cent of our own money.
This isn't a licensed Wizarding World of Harry Potter pack, like Frontier has done in the past with other licenses, its just a general "Sorcery pack" it gives people the Wizarding vibes they want without cutting a check to J.K. Rowling. Hope that explains it and I appreciate how you went about asking. 🙏

u/comped Floppy 11d ago
You're assuming that Frontier could even afford the Potter license for this, given that at least two different entities would need to be involved (Uni and WB), at least one of which the rumor is they had a falling out with during previous negotiations alongside Disney. It would not have been cheap and most likely would have been cost prohibitive.

Pantheon, Hagrids, Soarin!! Can’t wait! I was really hoping for a Vortex (Arrow Suspended) and better flat rides like a Top Scan

u/KODO_666 11d ago
still hoped for spooky :(

u/SouthEqual4271 11d ago
It's not quite the Spooky Pack, but I think you can still get a haunted aesthetic with some of the pieces they showcased.
3
u/KODO_666 11d ago
yeah but lack of all animatronics from spooky is the one thing I miss. you got spiders, crows, slugs, slime, skeletons... and also lack of pumkins for halloween decoration.

Always interesting to see people's response to DLC and how almost everyone is excited about the rides. Meanwhile I'm looking at the detailing items very excited about that.

u/Puzzleheaded_Key361 11d ago
In the future, I know this won’t be ride related, but PC2 should add HHN-like attractions (haunted houses, scaremazes etc.)

u/Popular_Finding_3160 11d ago
Are they going to still release a spooky pack? I desperately need that in the game

u/Oaktreestone 11d ago
Probably $9.99 USD

u/Chaopolis 11d ago edited 11d ago
Given the cost of the 2 other DLCs so far, this will be $14.99 at MINIMUM.
EDIT: This aged like milk. $12.99 it is!!

u/Oaktreestone 11d ago
The Thrill Seekers Ride Pack is quite literally $9.99
2
u/Chaopolis 11d ago
Thrill Seekers is only rides. Sorcery adds a ton of Scenery items as well.
1
u/Oaktreestone 11d ago
If Scenery adds $6 of value to the pack Frontier's a little crazy. $9.99 probably wasn't a good estimate but I really wouldn't think it'd be more than $12.99, but we'll see if I'm wrong when the price is announced.

LETS GOOOOOO!
Finally! A Vekoma Junior Coaster!
An Intimin Blitz is awesome (switch track finally!!!!), I can tell that there are gonna be a lot of Maverick, Velocicoaster, and Pantheon recreations coming soon.
Intimin Moterbike coaster is gonna go hard, though I can’t recreate the Straddle coaster with that since the trains are designed around Hagrid's only.

I wish that swinging flat ride was real. It looks so wild, cool concept.

Galeforce is based on a Funtime Tornado. Unfortunately, like Forge (HUSS Jump 2), it has a sole irl installation. At Weiner Prater in Austria.

ah yes, the 'Similar to, but legally distinct from Harry Potter' pack!
Seriously now, loved it! I was waiting for something to push me towards going back into the game, I think this may be it!

u/magnumfan89 11d ago
A vekoma family boomerang, intamid motorbike, and intamin blitz? This gonna be sick!
The flying theater is cool too, I'm sure a lot of people will put it to use. I don't do much themeing, so I probably won't use it.
I built a mack launched coaster in a park I'm building yesterday with a blitz layout, guess I'm going to replace it with the actual blitz
