I pre ordered this ages ago, something I rarely do these days. This one however looks very good indeed and may finally be a replacement to my trusty old copy of RCT3.

I thought this was Alpha access only and expires when the full version is launched. you then have to buy the full game?

Various tiers were available: The Standard pre-order only included beta access (Oct). Early Bird+ were more expensive and provided access to the alpha builds too. They all include a full Steam copy of the final game in Nov.
There may have been a low-cost supporter option but that was basically a donation towards development.
The official Steam page is now live but I don't think it includes beta access for pre-orders.

It's only the last day for the alpha and early bird edition on the site. Not the main preorder. Interesting to hear about may get beta access however......though I wonder if that will be a few days rather than the long time alpha players have
edit : aah I see it states the price jump too on the forum (they should state that on their main website really too)

It's not the best, I'll admit.
But almost any VR coaster is light years ahead of a flat 2D one. I never saw the appeal of coasters in games until they were in VR. Even the (poor by comparison) phone VR ones.

Parkitect is pretty good, I bought it awhile ago. I'm looking forward to scenarios though, much preferred playing scenarios on RCT1/2.

I was slightly underwhelmed by NoLimits 2 on Oculus though the creation tools are impressive.
UE4 Coaster set the bar for VR.

I live Citie Skylines and this defo seems the equivalent to that but for roller coasters :smiley:
THough this might take away a few hours from that and Rocket league now :/ Have some Heat OP!
Opening post
Last chance to pre-order via the Frontier store today and pay £19.99 for a steam key, saving £7 on the price increase tomorrow.
Also a possibility this includes the Thrillseeker edition and beta access if you can make sense of this:

Seen some rumblings about VR support for this. So fingers crossed!

Really should try Parkitect soon, it has been sat waiting in my Steam library for a while.
Just read through the thread, apparently this does include the Thrillseeker content plus beta access in October. Nice :sunglasses:
Thanks
No matter what I do it links to Elite Dangerous but it's on there
