Planet Coaster 2, the ultimate theme park and roller coaster simulation game, released last month for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. In our review, we praised the incredible amount of real rides and coaster models recreated for the game, despite some absences.
As expected, Frontier plans to fill these gaps with paid DLC. And the British company has just announced the first DLC (the second after the Vintage Funfair Ride pack that was included in the deluxe version). Called Thrill-Seekers, this ride pack includes two new coaster types and three dizzying flat rides: 540, Strike and Whirlpool.
The new roller coaster models are based directly on their real trailers. LIM Launch Family Coaster by Vector -Vekoma in real life- is pretty much self-explanatory: it offers the thrills and convoluted layouts of Launch Coaster, but without the inversions, suitable for the whole family.
The most interesting thing is the ultra-spin of “Big M's Rides” – parody name from Mack Rides, the company behind Europa-Park. In reality, these are called the Xtrem Spinning Coaster, a relatively new model that mixes the spinning cars seen on several family roller coasters with high-speed launches and inversions.

Only two models were built worldwide: Time Traveler in Silver Dollar City (USA) and The Ride to Happiness in Plopsaland de Panne (Belgium). The latter is considered by many to be the best roller coaster in Europe and is one of the most intense due to the speed, inversions and spinning of the cars.
The price of this DLC is 9.99 euros, less than the Vintage Funfair Ride Pack, which added ten new – and less exciting – rides for 18.99 euros and was panned by users on Steam.
