Hold on to them hats and glasses!

Monorail V2 - Update

Monorail V2

One of our original and popular simulations the WDW Monorail has always been a fan favourite. Due to the complexity of the simulation and the way it was created, it is not possible to retro-fit touch screen buttons to play on mobile or tablet. As this is a fan favourite we have committed to rebuilding this simulation from scratch with a brand new user interface for touch screen controls. The benefit is that we are also changing the way it ran, meaning some of those pesky bugs we could never iron out should become a thing of the past. We will keep you posted on progress. What would you like to see added to this simulation that was not in V1? * This is not a driving simulator.

Just Dropping In!

So who has tried out our latest simulation the Hollywood Tower Hotel - Tower of Terror?! What do you think, let us know in the comments below?

Ride Sims is Changing!

Hey Ride Sim Operators!

We are currently looking at refreshing our website and Patreon tiers including Ride Sims Plus rewards... But don't worry, if you are a V.I.P user, this change is good! You'll be getting even more than you did before! 

What changes should i expect?

Firstly the simulations page... We have over 70+ simulations now... Yes we know, that's a lot! And it is becoming slightly overwhelming to choose and find. Therefore we are planning to refresh this page and will be adding some simple category filter options to streamline your sim finding.

We also plan to remove the latest submitted scores and top simulations to tidy the page up. You guys don't need to know that, you just want to get on to playing the sims!

The next change you will see is the Ride Sims Plus page. This will be YOUR go-to page for the latest BETA simulation(s), some more detailed stats about your operating as well as latest blogs. (think of it like a permanent Spotify wrapped for sims) 

This is where, you come in... We want to know what else you'd like to see on this new Ride Sims plus page. Do you want to have digital downloads of anything specific, a place to submit sim suggestions. A sim scoring system? Let us know in the comments below as we work to improve your Ride Sims experience!

VIP Features!

Hi Ride Sims Operators! You may or may not have noticed that we have been listening to your suggestions and bringing VIP requested simulations as well as new features to simulations. One key thing you'll notice is in the options panel of simulations we have started to introduce an option to set the peep frequency manually from low to high. This is a feature exclusively for V.I.P users. 

we'd like to know what other features would you like to see added to simulations?

What's the next innovation for Ride Sims? You Tell Us!

Hi Ride Sims Supporters! We hope you are all doing good and enjoying Spinball Whizzer sim in Beta! The next BETA sim will be HEX, which is really exciting!

Ride Sims has  evolved over time and this year we released for you mobile gaming! Now we want to hear your ideas on what next could we do? We aren't asking what next regarding new simulations as we will continue to do those, but what do you think we could add to the web site that you think would be engaging and fun? It could be something small, or big, it could be an additional perk for supporters, you name it we will consider all ideas! Let us know below in the comments.

RUSH - BETA UPDATE

Hi Operators, following recent feedback we discovered that it was difficult to turn the ride arms on and off because of the way the peeps loaded. So now we have added a new control of filling the air gates for peeps in the queue. You can either click the button or press the 'L' key to send peeps from the queue to the air gates now.

TEST TRACK 2.0 TOUCH

Hi Supporters, you may have noticed that TEST TRACK 2.0 sim is back in BETA. That is because we've just made a few fixes following some bug reports around the lighting, whilst making those enhancements we have updated the sim to include touch controls. We'd appreciate it if you could test this out and report any issues. 

The next official sim in beta!

Some of our eagle eyed players may have spotted this Facebook post from Holiday Park on Tuesday and some of you guessed our next official simulation after stealth is Sky Scream from Holiday Park. This launches on Sunday to all, but we’ve agreed to allow 1 days secret early beta for our supporters! Enjoy!

SHHH! Keep it a secret!

There's another new sim in BETA ready for testing. This is an official simulation that we kindly ask to keep quiet about until it launches on the 22nd January! Please let us know any bug reports you have between then and now. 

Anyone found leaking this information will have their privileges removed from Ride Sims rewards.

ON-THE-GO LIVE!

We've pulled the BETA forward to ensure we get plenty of testing done before a full launch at the start of next year. 

ALL V.I.P Players will now see a new bar across the top of their simulations that you can turn on and off HTML5 code versions. 

New frequently asked questions have been added to our site information page:

Any questions or problems let us know here!

Ride Sims On-The-Go Coming To Beta

Hi there, supporters! Many of you have asked us what the future holds for Ride Sims once flash is removed. We have been working over the last few months with a team of developers that are producing code that allows us to add it to our website that will run our simulations as HTML5 without having to re-make them. 

We have reached a point where it is working but not entirely finished. We are soon (within 1-3 weeks), going to activate this feature for all V.I.P members to be the first to experience this feature. 

This will disable flash and play simulations as HTML5. This means you will be able to play them on tablet and mobile devices through the web site. 

All simulations will work on tablet and mobile devices, however not all simulations have touch screen features and therefore it is advised to play only those sims with touch screen on mobile devices. 

As this is BETA we would really appreciate you reporting any issues with graphics of game play on any simulation here. Please post below or direct message us.

Cast Your Vote!

Hi There supporters! So you will have seen we have started the process of adding touch screen / click commands to our latest simulations. We have actually updated TARON and BARON to include these now. We obviously want all our simulations to be touch ready. Some are easier than others to do this with.

We want to know which of our existing sims is your top 3 you'd like to see touch ready! Let us know and comment below.

RIDE SIMS NEXT CHAPTER

We posted recently about how we plan to tackle the demise of FLASH on browsers and in the background we've been working tirelessly not just making simulations but to ensure we can future proof the website and the simulations. 

You'll have noticed most of the recent simulations now include touch screen buttons.

Today was a big milestone as we were able to get the simulations working on mobile and tablet devices without flash! 

We will keep you posted on this development but you heard it and saw it here first!

We couldn't do this with out all your support so thank you!

3...2...1... GO GO GO!
