The battle of the rollercoaster sims wages on. With both RollerCoaster Tycoon World and Planet Coaster having released just a day apart, they're still at each other's throats when it comes to content updates too.

With each update to Rollercoaster Tycoon World comes either the Planet Coaster enthusiasts or those who felt let down by the developer's slow progress since the Alpha days of the game. With the update posts being hostile territory at this point, its best to avoid the bickering of the crowds and get straight to the point. So we'll be keeping a single post to document every update going foward.

Rollercoaster Tycoon World - Post-Release Update #1

The first major content update to Rollercoaster Tycoon World brings plenty of bug-fixes and some new props to mess around with. Following a similar approact to Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, they're delving deeper into the themed attractions with the 'Egypt Piece-by-Piece' pack. Helping with the landscaping efforts, they've abolished prop collison, too.
