Mechanically, the coaster is a busbar track with KUKA robot arms that swing a stationary platform (with full seats, or feet-hanging restraints) around as it moves in front of massive projection screens. Universal Studios has transformed several of their rollercoaster rides, specifically Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, and Skull Island: Reign of Kong, and I came back from that trip absolutely blown away by the way they’d transformed their coasters from speed demons to full-on experiences that tie in with some of my favorite movies. But, I went to Universal Studios and Disney World recently, and things have changed… If you look back a bit on my coverage of Planet Coaster (base product review), you’ve seen that we’ve gotten things like The Munsters, Knight Rider, (some video of the Retro Pack) as well as a whole Adventure Pack (my review) that reminds me of the best parts of theme parks I loved as a kid. The team at Frontier Studios, despite working hard for a mid-year release for their upcoming Jurassic World Evolution game ( trailer), have given us the largest expansion yet with something they are calling their Studios Pack. You get a small snap-on piece that lets you drop in a building or two, or maybe adds some small feature. Most DLC tends to fall into the “snippet” bucket.
