Planet Coaster’s slippery sequel lets you build your own water park

Planet Coaster’s sequel isn’t just about building the best theme park anymore: it’s about water parks, too. The sequel, coming this fall, will finally let you construct everything from wave pools and lazy rivers to custom-built waterslides.

You’ll also get to outfit your aquatic experience with changing rooms, sunbeds, lifeguards, and more. Planet Coaster 2 builds upon its predecessor with the addition of new building and pathing tools, as well as an advanced event sequencer system that can give your guests new experiences. There are also new rides, scenery pieces, and themes.

Another neat feature coming to Planet Coaster 2 is the ability to create shared theme parks with friends — but you can’t all build in the park at the same time. The developer says you can “jump one-at-a-time” into a shared park and then “save your progress to allow your fellow thrill-seekers to build upon your changes,” which is a bit of a bummer.

Just like its predecessor, Planet Coaster 2 will come with three game modes: career, sandbox, and challenge mode. It will also be available on PC, Xbox Series X | S, and PlayStation 5 when it launches later this year.
