Responding to Black Diamond comment I was working on that...(but very slow going). I am actually in the process (for several years on and off now) recreating Knoebels. This is my all time favorite park. For the first time in 25 years I missed a summer there last year. But I am going back this year! Thank you for making this dark ride. It will save me literally months of work and can't wait to integrate it in my park.

I desperately want to use the Hoax cars but the way Planet Coaster treats them, they are in groupings of three. Even though they look like single cars, they do everything in groups of three and there was no way of spacing them apart long enough so they didn't mess up the props all the time. The first car would go through, the second would get slammed in the door and the third one would not even trigger the prop. Not good. So I had to go with the HUNTSMAN cars. I hated the fact I had to do this, but it was either be REALLY true to life and have none of the props work, or put in a car that was treated as a single car so the props would function as they should. I picked the latter because the props are what makes it so much fun in the first place. I loved running this ride when I worked there!!! It's one the main reason I still wish I worked at Knoebels. If I still have it, (I think I got rid of it thought) I'll look to see if I have the blank ride I had with the HOAX cars.

Oh, I wasn't aware of a way to make the blueprint just a ride. I thought I actually did. I highlighted just the ride and the props and made a blueprint from that. I assumed it was just picking up the ride. Trying to do it the other way just let me either make the ride or the scenery the blueprint Not both together and I wanted them all together in one blueprint. The ride has just under 4000 pieces to it. So I just made it under the limit. But sure, you can use it. I don’t mind.

Why is this a park and not a blueprint, does it have too many parts? Do you mind if I use it or build a park around it? This is one of the best spook rides in Planet Coaster so far. Someone else made a HM as a blueprint but it doesn’t look as good as yours and they used the mouse coaster.

You should have used the Hoax (Pretzel spinning cars locked in forward position) but they run too fast downhill and there's no brakes. The real HM has red Pretzel cars but the non spinning kind, with entry and exit on the left side of the car only. Someone had this on the workshop but deleted it. Thanks for remaking it. I wish someone would make Black Diamond, using the Gold Fever coaster with 2 cars per train. I rode it many times as the Golden Nugget on Hunt's Pier and Dinosaur Beach in Wildwood, NJ. Last time I rode it was June 1998, it's final year of operation in Wildwood.
